Senior FreeCAD Engineer

Role Title: Senior FreeCAD Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Senior FreeCAD Engineers to contribute expertise to a dynamic customer project. 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. Scope of Work Create, modify, and validate detailed parametric CAD models in FreeCAD to specified project requirements. Develop and optimize mechanical assemblies, leveraging best practices in assembly design and component integration. Apply rigorous Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure manufacturability and quality. Generate clear, precise technical drawings and documentation for engineering review and downstream processes. Conduct thorough engineering QA reviews of CAD models and drawings to identify, communicate, and help resolve issues. Utilize Python scripting for CAD automation tasks, streamlining repetitive or complex modeling operations (highly preferred, not mandatory). Collaborate by providing insightful feedback on model accuracy, design intent, and process improvements. Preferred Qualifications 2+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, product design, or industrial engineering or any other related field with a focus on parametric CAD modeling. Advanced proficiency in FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD platforms. Strong knowledge of mechanical design fundamentals, including GD&T and DFM best practices. Demonstrated ability to produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing and assembly. Experience conducting engineering QA and verifying model integrity and compliance with specifications. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills relevant to remote, project-based collaboration.
