    Job Description

    We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialists with strong expertise in FreeCAD, Python, parametric modelling, mechanical design, CAD validation, GD&T, manufacturing processes, and engineering documentation to contribute to an advanced AI training and engineering-data project.

    Selected professionals will create, edit, validate, and document high-quality parametric CAD models used in AI training datasets, with a strong focus on geometric accuracy, engineering best practices, reproducibility, and manufacturing relevance. The work combines CAD generation, quality assurance, technical documentation, and optional Python-based automation.

    Key Responsibilities

    Parametric CAD Model Generation

    • Create precise parametric CAD models using FreeCAD
    • Develop mechanical parts, assemblies, and reusable geometric features
    • Apply robust modelling practices that preserve design intent
    • Maintain geometric accuracy across complex model structures
    • Build diverse CAD assets suitable for dataset development and AI training

    CAD Validation & Quality Assurance

    • Review CAD models for dimensional, geometric, and structural accuracy
    • Identify discrepancies, modelling errors, or incomplete design information
    • Validate models against engineering requirements and best practices
    • Correct issues while preserving intended functionality and parametric behaviour
    • Maintain consistent quality standards across large collections of CAD data

    GD&T & Engineering Standards

    • Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing principles to mechanical models
    • Ensure CAD outputs reflect real-world manufacturing standards
    • Review dimensional relationships, tolerances, and geometric controls
    • Identify design elements that may conflict with manufacturing or inspection requirements
    • Apply engineering judgement to maintain realistic and production-relevant model data

    Mechanical & Manufacturing Design

    • Apply mechanical-design principles when developing and reviewing components
    • Consider common manufacturing methods when evaluating geometry and tolerances
    • Incorporate industrial-engineering and manufacturability considerations where relevant
    • Ensure models are representative of realistic engineering applications
    • Support creation of technically diverse datasets spanning multiple mechanical-design scenarios

    Python & CAD Automation

    • Optionally use Python to automate repetitive CAD modelling or validation tasks
    • Enhance model parametrisation through scripting where appropriate
    • Develop reproducible workflows that improve modelling efficiency
    • Support scalable dataset generation through technical automation
    • Apply scripting to increase variation, consistency, and richness across CAD assets

    Technical Documentation & Reproducibility

    • Document modelling workflows, assumptions, and design decisions clearly
    • Maintain detailed engineering documentation for validation and dataset traceability
    • Record revisions and quality-assurance findings consistently
    • Ensure modelling processes can be reproduced by other technical contributors
    • Communicate complex engineering information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

    Ideal Profile

    • 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
    • Python scripting experience is advantageous, particularly for CAD automation or parametrisation

    Engagement Details

    • Independent contractor engagement
    • Fully remote
    • Compensation: $40–$100/hour
    • Work will involve FreeCAD modelling, CAD data generation, validation, mechanical-design review, GD&T, quality assurance, and engineering documentation
    • Python-based automation may be used to improve modelling efficiency and dataset diversity
    • Strong parametric CAD and engineering-quality experience are central to this engagement
    • Assignments may include parts, assemblies, features, validation workflows, and manufacturing-oriented CAD scenarios
    • Project scope, workload, modelling requirements, and quality standards may evolve depending on project needs
    • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party
