Remote | CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD) — $40–$100/hour

Job description

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
