Senior FreeCAD Engineer

$40–$100/h

Remote

Role overview

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

  1. Create, modify, and validate detailed parametric CAD models in FreeCAD to specified project requirements.
  2. Develop and optimize mechanical assemblies, leveraging best practices in assembly design and component integration.
  3. Apply rigorous Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure manufacturability and quality.
  4. Generate clear, precise technical drawings and documentation for engineering review and downstream processes.
  5. Conduct thorough engineering QA reviews of CAD models and drawings to identify, communicate, and help resolve issues.
  6. Utilize Python scripting for CAD automation tasks, streamlining repetitive or complex modeling operations (highly preferred, not mandatory).
  7. Collaborate by providing insightful feedback on model accuracy, design intent, and process improvements.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 2+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, product design, or industrial engineering or any other related field with a focus on parametric CAD modeling.
  2. Advanced proficiency in FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD platforms.
  3. Strong knowledge of mechanical design fundamentals, including GD&T and DFM best practices.
  4. Demonstrated ability to produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing and assembly.
  5. Experience conducting engineering QA and verifying model integrity and compliance with specifications.
  6. Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills relevant to remote, project-based collaboration.

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.
