We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Senior FreeCAD Engineers with strong expertise in parametric CAD modelling, mechanical engineering, GD&T, Design for Manufacturing, assembly design, technical drawings, engineering QA, and CAD automation to contribute to an advanced AI training and mechanical-design project.
Selected professionals will create, modify, validate, and document detailed parametric CAD models and assemblies, applying professional engineering standards to manufacturability, dimensional accuracy, model integrity, and technical documentation.
Python scripting experience is highly valuable for automating repetitive or complex CAD workflows, though it is not mandatory.
No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities
Parametric CAD Modelling
Create detailed parametric CAD models in FreeCAD
Modify existing models to meet evolving technical requirements
Apply robust modelling practices that preserve design intent and editability
Maintain geometric accuracy across parts, features, and complex model structures
Validate completed models against project specifications
Mechanical Assembly Design
Develop and optimise mechanical assemblies
Apply strong component-integration and assembly-design principles
Define appropriate mechanical relationships, interfaces, and constraints
Evaluate assemblies for fit, function, and design consistency
Identify opportunities to improve assembly robustness and maintainability
GD&T & Design for Manufacturing
Apply rigorous Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing principles
Use Design for Manufacturing best practices throughout modelling workflows
Evaluate dimensions, tolerances, and geometric controls for production readiness
Identify modelling choices that may create manufacturing or inspection challenges
Ensure design intent remains aligned with practical manufacturing requirements
Technical Drawings & Documentation
Generate clear and precise technical drawings
Prepare supporting engineering documentation for review and downstream processes
Communicate dimensions, tolerances, assembly requirements, and design intent accurately
Document modelling assumptions and engineering decisions clearly
Maintain consistent documentation standards across project deliverables
Engineering QA & Model Validation
Conduct detailed QA reviews of CAD models and technical drawings
Verify model integrity and compliance with engineering specifications
Identify geometric errors, inconsistencies, incomplete constraints, or documentation gaps
Communicate issues clearly and contribute to practical resolution
Maintain a high standard of accuracy and consistency across engineering outputs
Python & CAD Automation
Use Python scripting to automate CAD workflows where appropriate
Streamline repetitive or technically complex modelling operations
Improve workflow reproducibility and efficiency through automation
Support parametrisation and model generation with scripted processes
Contribute to scalable CAD workflows for larger engineering-data initiatives
Ideal Profile
2+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, product design, industrial engineering, or a closely related field
Strong focus on parametric CAD modelling
Advanced proficiency in FreeCAD or comparable parametric CAD platforms
Strong understanding of mechanical-design fundamentals
Practical knowledge of GD&T and Design for Manufacturing principles
Experience creating production-oriented technical drawings and engineering documentation
Strong assembly-design and component-integration skills
Experience conducting engineering QA and validating CAD models against specifications
Python scripting or CAD automation experience is highly advantageous but not mandatory
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Excellent written and verbal technical communication
Comfortable contributing independently within a remote, project-based environment
No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required
Engagement Details
Independent contractor engagement
Fully remote
Compensation: $40–$100/hour
Work will involve FreeCAD modelling, mechanical assembly design, GD&T, DFM, technical drawing generation, engineering QA, and model validation
Python-based CAD automation may be used to improve modelling efficiency and reproducibility
Strong mechanical-design judgement and parametric CAD expertise are central to this engagement
Assignments may include parts, assemblies, technical drawings, validation tasks, and manufacturing-oriented design 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
