Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Crossing Hurdles is seeking a Mechanical Engineer (CAD) to provide hardware and computational geometry expertise on a contract basis. The role focuses on translating engineering drawings into accurate 3D CAD models, automating geometry generation with Python, validating model properties, and troubleshooting geometric discrepancies.
Responsibilities
- Interpret dimensions and geometric relationships from technical drawings
- Translate 2D schematics into accurate 3D mechanical models
- Decompose complex components into appropriate geometric features
- Model curved profiles, sweeps, lofts, fillets, chamfers, and Boolean operations
- Use Python to generate or automate CAD geometry
- Export valid, watertight solid models in formats such as STEP
- Validate dimensions, topology, volume, surface area, and inertia properties
- Diagnose subtle differences between expected and generated geometry
- Produce reproducible solutions that work in clean technical environments
Skills
- Strong Python programming ability
- Hands-on experience with 3D CAD or computational geometry
- Ability to interpret dimensioned engineering drawings and schematics
- Strong 3D spatial reasoning and attention to geometric precision
- Experience validating or troubleshooting CAD models
