Mechanical CAD Expert

Pay: $40 - $80/hour

Role Title: Mechanical CAD Expert

Role Type: Contractor

micro1 is engaging Mechanical CAD Experts to contribute to a customer project focused on advanced engineering assemblies. 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

• Analyze multi-part mechanical assemblies provided in native FreeCAD files, ensuring full understanding of component relationships and assembly design intent.
• Develop objective, non-guessable, and precise question-and-answer sets for each assigned assembly, focusing on technical accuracy and clarity.
• Create several detailed technical questions per assembly, covering mechanical functions, design rationale, and dimensional considerations.
• Format each question and corresponding answer to be unambiguous and aligned with real-world engineering standards.
• Submit high-quality deliverables within agreed-upon project parameters, maintaining clear and prompt communication with project coordinators.
• Leverage written and verbal communication skills to clarify ambiguities and collaborate effectively within a distributed team environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven background in mechanical engineering, aerospace, or industrial design, with strong foundational and applied CAD knowledge.
• Expertise in interpreting and analyzing complex mechanical assemblies and engineering drawings.
• Familiarity with FreeCAD is advantageous; however, experience with other CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, Autodesk Inventor) is valuable.
• Demonstrated ability to author clear, precise, and objective technical documentation or assessment materials.
• Strong attention to detail, analytical thinking, and a commitment to technical accuracy and objectivity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an emphasis on documenting technical insights for varied audiences.
• Ability to work independently, manage deliverables, and adapt to project requirements in a remote context.
