Remote | CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD) — $40–$100/hour
About The Position
This remote consulting opportunity involves generating, editing, validating, and documenting high-quality parametric CAD models in FreeCAD or equivalent software for an AI training and engineering-data project. The work emphasizes geometric accuracy, engineering best practices, reproducibility, and manufacturing relevance. Assignments may cover parts, assemblies, reusable features, validation workflows, and manufacturing-oriented CAD scenarios. Python-based automation may be used to improve modelling efficiency and dataset diversity. Project scope, workload, modelling requirements, and quality standards may evolve with project needs. Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party. The opportunity is available through 24-MAG LLC, which connects professionals with remote consulting opportunities. Applicant information may be processed for recruitment and opportunity matching in accordance with the company’s Privacy Policy.
Requirements
- At least 2 years of experience in mechanical design, CAD modelling, manufacturing, industrial engineering, or a closely related field.
- Strong hands-on experience with FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD software.
- Demonstrated expertise in parametric modelling and mechanical design.
- Strong understanding of engineering best practices.
- Experience with CAD validation and quality-assurance workflows.
- Practical knowledge of GD&T and its application to real-world manufacturing scenarios.
- Familiarity with industrial-engineering principles and common manufacturing processes.
- Experience preparing detailed engineering documentation.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to geometric accuracy.
- Ability to incorporate feedback and revisions efficiently.
- Must complete work without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party.
Nice To Haves
- Python scripting experience, particularly for CAD automation or parametrisation.
Responsibilities
- Create precise parametric CAD models in FreeCAD, including mechanical parts, assemblies, and reusable geometric features.
- Apply robust modelling practices that preserve design intent and geometric accuracy across complex model structures.
- Build diverse CAD assets for dataset development and AI training.
- Review CAD models for dimensional, geometric, and structural accuracy; identify discrepancies, modelling errors, and incomplete design information.
- Validate models against engineering requirements and best practices, correct issues, and maintain intended functionality and parametric behaviour.
- Apply GD&T principles and ensure CAD outputs reflect real-world manufacturing standards.
- Review dimensional relationships, tolerances, and geometric controls, identifying potential conflicts with manufacturing or inspection requirements.
- Use mechanical-design, industrial-engineering, manufacturability, and manufacturing-process considerations when developing or reviewing components.
- Optionally use Python to automate repetitive CAD modelling or validation tasks, enhance parametrisation, and support reproducible, scalable dataset-generation workflows.
- Document modelling workflows, assumptions, design decisions, revisions, and quality-assurance findings for traceability and reproducibility.
- Communicate complex engineering information to technical and non-technical audiences.
- Incorporate feedback and revisions efficiently.
