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
