Manufacturing Design Engineer (FreeCAD)

Role Overview

Apply manufacturing design expertise to help train next-generation AI systems through accurate, real-world mechanical design work. You will create, document, and validate production-ready components and assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable parametric CAD software. No prior AI experience is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and revise detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies.
• Produce manufacturing-ready engineering drawings, including GD&T and tolerance stack-ups.
• Design for sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding.
• Conduct CAD validation and quality-assurance reviews to confirm model accuracy and production readiness.
• Prepare clear technical documentation and assembly instructions for AI training reference materials.
• Incorporate technical-review feedback to improve CAD models and supporting documentation.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing environments.
• Advanced proficiency with FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD software, including modeling, assemblies, and drawing generation.
• Experience with mechanical design, parametric and 3D CAD modeling, assembly design, engineering drawings, CAD validation, quality assurance, and technical documentation.
• Hands-on knowledge of sheet metal, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding design considerations.
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing best practices.
• Demonstrated ability to create production-grade CAD models and assess them against real-world manufacturability criteria.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for precise documentation and collaboration.

Work Terms

• Remote contract engagement.

Compensation

• $40 to $100 per hour.
