Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Wayfinder Solutions Pvt ltd. is seeking an experienced Manufacturing Design Engineer to support a customer project focused on advanced mechanical design for manufacturing and AI model training. The role involves creating and validating production-ready parametric CAD models, engineering drawings, assemblies, and technical documentation while applying GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing principles.
Responsibilities
- Create and modify detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable parametric CAD software
- Develop advanced mechanical designs and production-ready CAD models that accurately represent real-world manufacturing requirements
- Create comprehensive engineering drawings suitable for manufacturing handoff
- Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to engineering drawings and mechanical designs
- Perform tolerance stack-ups and tolerance analysis to ensure dimensional accuracy and functional requirements are properly addressed
- Design mechanical components and assemblies with consideration for different manufacturing processes, including sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles throughout the design process to ensure components can be manufactured effectively and reliably
- Perform CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to verify model accuracy, design integrity, dimensional consistency, and readiness for production use
- Validate CAD models against real-world manufacturability criteria and identify potential design or manufacturing issues
- Prepare clear, concise, and technically accurate technical documentation to support engineering and manufacturing requirements
- Develop detailed assembly instructions and supporting reference materials where required
- Produce documentation and engineering reference materials that can be used for AI model training and evaluation
- Incorporate feedback received from technical reviewers and revise CAD models, engineering drawings, documentation, and supporting materials accordingly
- Maintain a high level of accuracy, consistency, and quality across all CAD models, drawings, assemblies, and technical documentation
- Collaborate effectively with technical reviewers and project stakeholders through clear written and verbal communication
- Ensure that all engineering outputs are precise, well-documented, production-oriented, and aligned with project requirements
