About the role

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. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.

Note on Software: We're looking for experts with strong 3D parametric CAD modelling experience — for example, in Autodesk Inventor Specialist. This experience is directly transferable to FreeCAD, which is the software this project will focus on. Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal.

Responsibilities

  • Develop fully-parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable platforms).
  • Edit and update existing models to reflect revised requirements, ensuring all changes remain fully parametric and in line with best practices.
  • Audit and review CAD models for compliance with dimensional, tolerance, and manufacturability criteria, identifying and documenting any gaps or issues.
  • Create and interpret detailed technical drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 or equivalent GD&T standards.
  • Ensure robust Design for Manufacturability (DFM) considerations across processes such as injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting/forging.
  • Support AI training initiatives by providing clear documentation and rationale for design decisions, edits, and audits.
  • Communicate effectively in written and verbal formats, delivering precise feedback and solution-oriented insights to project stakeholders.

Preferred skills

  • Minimum 4 years of hands-on parametric modeling experience for edit-level tasks; 10+ years for complex creation work.
  • Expertise in Autodesk Inventor, with fluency in similar platforms like FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 considered highly relevant.
  • Demonstrated proficiency with GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent), with practical, real-world application.
  • Proven DFM experience covering at least two to three manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, casting).
  • Experience with reverse engineering workflows, such as scan-to-CAD or point cloud-to-model reconstruction.
  • Ability to manage assembly-level designs and complex mechanical systems, not just single-part modeling.
  • Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open), or similar tools for enhancing workflow efficiency.
