Manufacturing Design Engineer for AI Model Training [Remote]

Design and document production-ready mechanical parts and assemblies using FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD tools, contributing high-quality engineering artifacts that will be used to train next-generation AI systems. This contractor role is remote and focuses on advanced mechanical design for manufacturing, including CAD modeling, drawing generation, validation, and technical documentation. No prior experience in AI is required, your domain expertise is the priority.

• Create and revise detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical components and multi-part assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable software.
• Produce comprehensive engineering drawings, including GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing handoff documentation.
• Design parts and assemblies for a range of manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding.
• Perform CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to confirm model accuracy and manufacturability.
• Prepare clear technical documentation and assembly instructions to serve as reference materials for AI model training.
• Incorporate feedback from technical reviewers and iterate on CAD models and supporting documents.

• Minimum 2 years of experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing environments.
• Proven expertise in FreeCAD or a similar parametric CAD platform for advanced modeling, assemblies, and drawing generation.
• Hands-on exposure to sheet metal, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding design considerations.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to produce production-grade CAD models and validate them against real-world manufacturability criteria.
• Solid skills in CAD validation and quality assurance, and in preparing technical documentation and assembly instructions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for clear documentation and collaboration.

• Role type: Contractor.
• Location: Remote.
• Project focus: advanced mechanical design for manufacturing, contributing artifacts used to train AI systems. No prior AI experience required.
• Participants will leverage FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD platforms to deliver CAD models, drawings, QA results, and documentation.

Pay range: $40 - $100 per hour.

Open to remote contractors who can provide the required experience and deliverables. The opportunity requires the ability to produce production-grade CAD work and supporting documentation as described above.

Interested candidates will be identified and vetted through the platform''s talent vetting process. Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate relevant CAD work, provide examples of production-grade models and drawings, and respond to technical review feedback as part of the selection and onboarding process.
