Remote CAD Design Mentor for Advanced Assemblies (Contract)

SaidGig; New York (NY); Remote; USD 55,000 - 124,000; Full time

Job summary

SaidGig is seeking an experienced CAD designer for a remote contract role focused on training AI systems through complex multi-part assemblies and parametric modeling. You will translate real-world design judgment into high-quality project contributions with minimal AI prior experience required.

Responsibilities include analyzing requirements, ensuring manufacturability, mentoring others, and documenting design rationales and best practices for AI workflows.

Qualifications

• At least 5 years of professional CAD design experience.
• Mastery of a major parametric CAD package (SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape or Solid Edge). Familiarity with FreeCAD is a plus.
• Strong command of CAD tools, parametric modeling, design intent, and assembly reasoning.
• Ability to clearly communicate design logic, trade-offs, and assembly intent through documentation and discussions.
• Experience mentoring, teaching, or enabling others in CAD design.
• Recognized credential such as CSWP, Autodesk certifications, ASME GDTP, or SOLIDWORKS Champion valued.
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, asynchronous environment with attention to detail and high-quality contributions.

Responsibilities

• Analyze product requirements and design robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies using advanced parametric CAD tools.
• Demonstrate design intent and assembly reasoning through decisions on architecture, component placement, mating strategies, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Create, annotate, and optimize 3D models reflecting expert CAD methodologies.
• Document design rationales, best practices, and DFM considerations for AI learning workflows.
• Review sample designs and provide detailed feedback on modeling strategies and feasibility.
• Collaborate asynchronously with the project team, explaining complex design decisions in writing and verbally.
• Contribute educational or mentoring content that improves project deliverables.
