CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD)

$40–$100/h

Remote

Role overview

Role Title: CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD)


Role Type: Contractor


Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialists (FreeCAD) to contribute to a leading-edge customer project focused on AI model training. 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

  1. Produce, edit, and validate precise parametric CAD models using FreeCAD, focusing on robust geometric accuracy and engineering best practices.
  2. Develop a diverse library of mechanical parts, assemblies, and features to support AI dataset creation and model training needs.
  3. Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure models reflect real-world mechanical design standards.
  4. Conduct quality assurance reviews of CAD data, identifying and resolving discrepancies while maintaining detailed engineering documentation.
  5. Implement feedback and revisions efficiently to continually refine CAD deliverables in response to evolving project requirements.
  6. Optionally utilize Python scripting to automate modeling tasks or enhance model parametrization for increased efficiency and dataset richness.
  7. Document modeling workflows and decisions to ensure reproducibility and transparency in the dataset creation process.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 2+ years of experience in mechanical design, CAD modeling, manufacturing, or industrial engineering, with a strong track record using FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD software.
  2. Demonstrated expertise in parametric modeling and mechanical design, with a deep understanding of engineering best practices.
  3. Proficiency in CAD validation and the application of GD&T for real-world manufacturing scenarios.
  4. Familiarity with industrial engineering principles and common manufacturing processes.
  5. Strong attention to detail and a commitment to precision and quality in all deliverables.
  6. Experience preparing comprehensive engineering documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
