Mechanical Design Engineer – CAD & Manufacturing

Mechanical design engineers can put their CAD and drafting experience toward improving how AI systems handle engineering tasks. This contract suits practitioners who have taken parts from early design into production and can explain their reasoning clearly. The work is for an AI training company supporting a client's engineering project, and no background in AI is needed.

What you'll do

• Build 2D drawings and 3D models in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Inventor, Creo or NX, and use FreeCAD models as references
• Turn design requirements into precise CAD specifications that a shop could build from
• Apply GD&T and tolerancing throughout every deliverable
• Assess existing engineering documentation and suggest changes that make it clearer and easier to manufacture
• Offer DFM input so parts are practical to produce

What you'll need

• Substantial industry experience in mechanical design, including parts that reached production
• Strong skills across several CAD platforms, plus working knowledge of FreeCAD
• Solid grasp of material selection, drafting standards, DFM and common manufacturing processes
• Clear communication in writing and speech, and comfort giving constructive feedback on remote projects

Good to know

• Contract engagement, fully remote
• Your engineering input is used to train AI models
• The listing does not state pay, weekly hours or location restrictions
