Position: CAD Design Expert
Type: Contract
Compensation: $40 - $90/hour
Location: Remote
Commitment: 10-40 hrs/week
Role Responsibilities
- Analyze and interpret product requirements to design robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies using advanced parametric CAD tools.
- Demonstrate design intent and assembly reasoning by making critical decisions on architecture, component placement, and tolerance stack-ups.
- Document design rationales, best practices, and DFM considerations to guide AI learning workflows.
- Create, annotate, and optimize 3D models and assemblies that exemplify expert-level CAD methodologies.
- Review and critique sample designs, providing detailed feedback on modeling strategies and design feasibility.
- Collaborate asynchronously with the project team, responding to queries and clarifying complex design decisions in clear written and verbal communication.
- Contribute educational insights or mentoring content based on your CAD expertise to improve project deliverables.
Requirements
- Have strong relevant experience in professional CAD design, with responsibility for leading design decisions on complex assemblies.
- Mastery of a major parametric CAD software package such as SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, Fusion, Onshape, or Solid Edge.
- Strong capability to articulate design logic, trade-offs, and assembly intent both in documentation and through interactive discussions.
- Experience mentoring, teaching, or enabling others in CAD design, formally or informally.
- A recognized CAD credential is highly valued and may substitute for a formal experience bar.
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively in remote and asynchronous professional contexts.
- Attention to detail and commitment to delivering insightful, high-quality contributions.
