Location

Remote

Our team is engaging Senior FreeCAD Engineers to contribute expertise to a dynamic customer project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Scope of Work

• Create, modify, and validate detailed parametric CAD models in FreeCAD to specified project requirements.
• Develop and optimize mechanical assemblies, leveraging best practices in assembly design and component integration.
• Apply rigorous Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure manufacturability and quality.
• Generate clear, precise technical drawings and documentation for engineering review and downstream processes.
• Conduct thorough engineering QA reviews of CAD models and drawings to identify, communicate, and help resolve issues.
• Utilize Python scripting for CAD automation tasks, streamlining repetitive or complex modeling operations (highly preferred, not mandatory).
• Collaborate by providing insightful feedback on model accuracy, design intent, and process improvements.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, product design, or industrial engineering or any other related field with a focus on parametric CAD modeling.
• Advanced proficiency in FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD platforms.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical design fundamentals, including GD&T and DFM best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing and assembly.
• Experience conducting engineering QA and verifying model integrity and compliance with specifications.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills relevant to remote, project-based collaboration.
