understand manufacturing workflows and mechanical design principles.

 

No prior AI experience is required—your hands-on expertise in mechanical engineering and CAD design is what matters most.

 

Responsibilities:
 

• Create and modify detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical components and assemblies using FreeCAD or similar CAD software.
• Develop production-ready engineering drawings, including GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing specifications.
• Design components for manufacturing processes such as:
• CNC machining
• Sheet metal fabrication
• Plastic part design
• Injection molding
• Perform CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to ensure production readiness.
• Prepare clear technical documentation, assembly instructions, and engineering references.
• Review and refine CAD models based on technical feedback.
• Maintain engineering accuracy, consistency, and compliance with manufacturing standards.
• Contribute real-world manufacturing expertise to improve AI training datasets.

 

Requirements:

 

• Strong experience with FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD software.
• Experience creating production-quality mechanical components and assemblies.
• Knowledge of:
• Parametric CAD modeling
• Mechanical design
• 3D CAD modeling
• Assembly design
• Engineering drawings
• CAD validation
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
• Excellent technical documentation skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment.

 

Preferred Qualifications:

 

• Minimum 2 years of experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing.
• Expertise in FreeCAD or comparable CAD platforms.
• Hands-on experience with:
• CNC machining
• Sheet metal fabrication
• Plastics
• Injection molding
• Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and DFM best practices.
• Experience validating CAD models against real-world manufacturing requirements.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

 

Benefits:

 

• Competitive hourly compensation ($30–$100/hr).
• Fully remote contractor opportunity.
• Flexible work schedule.
• Work on cutting-edge AI engineering projects.
• Opportunity to apply real-world manufacturing expertise to next-generation AI systems.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers from around the world.
• Gain valuable experience at the intersection of manufacturing and artificial intelligence.
• Potential for long-term project opportunities based on performance.
