Remote | Mechanical CAD Expert — $40–$80/hour
About The Position
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced Mechanical CAD professionals with strong expertise in mechanical engineering, aerospace, industrial design, and complex multi-part assembly analysis to contribute to an advanced AI training project focused on engineering design interpretation. Selected professionals will analyse detailed mechanical assemblies, interpret native CAD files and engineering drawings, and develop precise question-and-answer content grounded in real-world engineering data. The work requires strong technical judgement, careful attention to component relationships and design intent, and the ability to produce objective, assessment-ready technical material.
Requirements
- Proven background in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, industrial design, or a closely related discipline
- Strong foundational and applied knowledge of CAD systems and engineering design principles
- Expertise in analysing complex mechanical assemblies and interpreting engineering drawings
- Demonstrated ability to produce clear, precise, and objective technical documentation or assessment materials
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to explain technical insights clearly to varied audiences
- Comfortable working independently and managing deliverables in a remote environment
- Strong commitment to technical accuracy, consistency, and objective assessment
- Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with FreeCAD is advantageous
- Experience with SolidWorks, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, or comparable CAD platforms is highly relevant
- Experience with complex CAD assemblies and technical design interpretation is important for this engagement
- Familiarity with FreeCAD is beneficial, while experience with other major CAD platforms is also relevant
Responsibilities
- Analyse complex multi-part mechanical assemblies provided in native FreeCAD format

- Review engineering drawings and supporting technical information
- Identify key mechanical functions, design considerations, and dimensional relationships
- Apply sound engineering judgement when evaluating assembly behaviour and technical details
- Develop objective, precise, and non-guessable question-and-answer sets for assigned assemblies
- Create several detailed technical questions covering mechanical functions, design rationale, and dimensional considerations
- Ensure each question is grounded in verifiable assembly data
- Structure prompts so that answers are technically specific and unambiguous
- Maintain alignment with real-world engineering standards and terminology
- Produce accurate and clearly written answers supported by the source assembly data
- Verify technical conclusions against CAD geometry, drawings, and component relationships
- Review question-and-answer pairs for logical consistency and technical correctness
- Identify and clarify ambiguities before finalising deliverables
- Maintain high standards for objectivity, precision, and assessment readiness
- Prepare clear technical documentation and supporting notes where required
- Communicate promptly with project coordinators regarding questions, ambiguities, or technical issues
- Use written and verbal communication to clarify engineering requirements
- Incorporate feedback and adapt deliverables to evolving project standards
- Manage assigned work independently while maintaining agreed timelines and quality expectations
Benefits
