2. Interpret and analyze technical drawings, identifying critical dimensions, tolerances, and specifications.
3. Document component requirements, technical specifications, and manufacturing tolerances in clear, structured formats.
4. Contribute insights and feedback on conceptual stress analysis and finite element analysis (FEA) tasks, supporting model validation.
5. Review, critique, and enhance technical documentation and CAD outputs for accuracy and clarity.
6. Provide expert written and verbal feedback to help train and validate AI system outputs in the context of mechanical engineering.
7. Collaborate asynchronously with cross-functional teams via remote communication tools, ensuring project objectives are achieved.

Preferred Qualifications

1. 5+ years of demonstrated, hands-on experience in mechanical design engineering, with a focus on 3D CAD modeling and FEA.
2. Proficiency in SolidWorks, NX, Creo, or CATIA, with a strong preference for contributors with multi-platform expertise.
3. Proven ability to interpret and produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation.
4. Deep conceptual understanding of stress analysis, FEA principles, and engineering validation processes.
5. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; meticulous attention to detail in documentation.
6. Experience as a design engineer modeling components, interpreting drawings, and defining requirements.
7. Knowledge of end-to-end engineering processes from requirements definition through to validation and documentation.
