Manufacturing Design Engineer for AI Model Training [Remote]

Contribute to advanced mechanical design projects that shape the future of intelligent design tools. As a Manufacturing Design Engineer, you will leverage your expertise in FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD platforms to create production-ready components and assemblies, directly impacting the training of next-generation AI systems. Key Responsibilities

• Create and modify detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable software.
• Develop comprehensive engineering drawings, including GD&T and tolerance stack-ups, suitable for manufacturing handoff.
• Design for a variety of manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding.
• Perform CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to ensure model accuracy and readiness for production use.
• Prepare clear, concise technical documentation and assembly instructions as reference materials for AI model training.
• Incorporate feedback from technical reviewers to revise and improve CAD models and supporting documents.

• Minimum 2 years’ experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing environments.
• Expertise in FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD software for advanced modeling, assemblies, and drawing generation.
• Hands-on exposure to sheet metal, CNC, plastics, and injection molding design considerations.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices.
• Proven ability to produce production-grade CAD models and validate them against real-world manufacturability criteria.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ensuring clarity in documentation and collaborative exchanges.
