Computational CAD Engineer (OpenSCAD) | Remote

Position: Computational CAD Engineer (OpenSCAD)

Type: Contract

Compensation: $40 - $120/hour

Location: Remote

Commitment: 10-40 hrs/week

Role Responsibilities

• Develop, document, and optimize OpenSCAD scripts for both simple and complex CAD models.
• Transform conceptual sketches into detailed, production-ready designs.
• Utilize advanced OpenSCAD tools, including Boolean operations, list comprehensions, and flow control, to create diverse geometries.
• Employ techniques like linear_extrude, rotate_extrude, and minkowski to construct innovative 3D forms.
• Build up 3D shapes from 2D shadows and efficiently place basic forms within the design space.
• Design and implement repeatable components using nesting and loop constructs.
