Selected professionals will develop, edit, audit, and document robust parametric 3D models based on detailed technical requirements, applying real-world manufacturing knowledge and professional CAD standards. Although the role targets Autodesk Fusion 360 expertise, the project itself will focus on FreeCAD, making transferable parametric-modelling experience especially relevant. No prior experience in AI is required., * Extensive hands-on experience with parametric CAD platforms * Strong proficiency with Autodesk Fusion 360 * Experience with SolidWorks, Inventor, FreeCAD, or comparable parametric CAD tools is highly relevant * Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal, as the project itself will focus on FreeCAD * Proven application of GD&T principles in real-world engineering work * Strong Design for Manufacturability expertise across at least 2-3 manufacturing processes * Experience with injection moulding, sheet metal, CNC machining, casting, forging, or comparable production methods * At least 4+ years of applied CAD experience is preferred for model-editing work * Approximately 10+ years of relevant experience may be appropriate for complex model-creation assignments * Strong assembly-level modelling experience rather than exclusively single-part work * Experience with reverse engineering, scan-to-CAD, or point-cloud conversion is highly valued * Familiarity with CAD automation or scripting using Python, iLogic, NX Open, VBA, or comparable tools is advantageous * Strong problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail * Excellent written and verbal technical communication * No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required Engagement Details * Independent contractor engagement * Fully remote * Compensation: $40-$100/hour * Work will involve parametric CAD modelling, model editing, CAD auditing, GD&T, DFM, assembly design, and engineering documentation * The project will primarily use FreeCAD, while strong Autodesk Fusion 360 and transferable parametric CAD expertise are highly relevant * Assignments may include mechanical part creation, assembly modelling, reverse engineering, manufacturing review, and CAD automation * Experience requirements may vary by task complexity, particularly between model-editing and advanced model-creation assignments * 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, 3D Modeling, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Auditing, Autodesk Inventor, Automation, CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing), CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) Systems, Casting, Cloud Computing, Consulting, Detail Oriented, Documentation, Editing, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Geometry, Identify Issues, Injection Molding, Manufacturing, Manufacturing Design, Manufacturing/Industrial Processes, Mechanical Assembly, Mechanical Design, Metal Manufacturing, Metal Molding, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), Model Validation, Organizational Skills, Presentation/Verbal Skills, Problem Solving Skills, Project Evaluation, Python Programming/Scripting Language, Quality Metrics, Reverse Engineering, Scripting (Scripting Languages), SolidWorks, Technical Consulting, Technical Presentation, Technical Writing, Technical/Engineering Design, Writing Skills ## Description Parametric CAD Modelling * Develop fully parametric 3D models of mechanical parts and assemblies * Build models from detailed written briefs and technical requirements * Apply robust sketching, geometric constraints, dimensions, and feature-tree structures * Ensure models remain editable, stable, and adaptable as requirements evolve * Maintain strong design intent throughout complex modelling workflows CAD Editing & Model Maintenance * Edit and update existing parametric CAD models * Incorporate changing specifications while preserving model integrity * Diagnose fragile constraints, broken references, or unstable features * Refine geometry to improve robustness and downstream manufacturability * Maintain organised and understandable modelling structures GD&T, DFM & Manufacturing Review * Apply GD&T principles consistent with ASME Y14.5 or equivalent standards * Evaluate dimensional accuracy, tolerance application, and design intent * Apply Design for Manufacturability principles to mechanical designs * Consider manufacturing processes such as injection moulding, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and casting or forging * Identify geometry or tolerance decisions that may create manufacturing difficulties CAD Auditing & Quality Assurance * Audit models for dimensional correctness, feature consistency, and specification compliance * Identify gaps, deviations, or inconsistencies between requirements and final geometry * Review assemblies as well as individual components * Evaluate whether models reflect intended mechanical relationships and constraints * Provide structured feedback and recommendations for correction Reverse Engineering & CAD Automation * Support reverse-engineering workflows such as scan-to-CAD and point-cloud conversion * Translate existing geometry or physical references into structured parametric models * Use automation or scripting to improve repeatability and efficiency * Apply tools such as Python, iLogic, NX Open, VBA, or comparable automation technologies where relevant * Help standardise repetitive modelling and validation workflows Design Documentation & Technical Communication * Document modelling decisions, assumptions, and design rationale clearly * Explain technical choices in both written and verbal formats * Provide structured feedback supporting continuous project improvement * Communicate manufacturing and design considerations to multidisciplinary contributors * Maintain high standards of clarity, accuracy, and attention to detail ##
