Employer description and requirements

Role Title: CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD)

Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialists (FreeCAD) to contribute to a leading-edge customer project focused on AI model training. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Scope of Work

Produce, edit, and validate precise parametric CAD models using FreeCAD, focusing on robust geometric accuracy and engineering best practices.

Develop a diverse library of mechanical parts, assemblies, and features to support AI dataset creation and model training needs.

Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure models reflect real-world mechanical design standards.

Conduct quality assurance reviews of CAD data, identifying and resolving discrepancies while maintaining detailed engineering documentation.

Implement feedback and revisions efficiently to continually refine CAD deliverables in response to evolving project requirements.

Optionally utilize Python scripting to automate modeling tasks or enhance model parametrization for increased efficiency and dataset richness.

Document modeling workflows and decisions to ensure reproducibility and transparency in the dataset creation process.

Preferred Qualifications

2+ years of experience in mechanical design, CAD modeling, manufacturing, or industrial engineering, with a strong track record using FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD software.

Demonstrated expertise in parametric modeling and mechanical design, with a deep understanding of engineering best practices.

Proficiency in CAD validation and the application of GD&T for real-world manufacturing scenarios.

Familiarity with industrial engineering principles and common manufacturing processes.

Strong attention to detail and a commitment to precision and quality in all deliverables.

Experience preparing comprehensive engineering documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.
