DESCRIPTION

Role Title: Manufacturing Design Engineer Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Manufacturing Design Engineer experts to contribute to a customer’s project focused on advanced mechanical design for manufacturing. 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. Participants will leverage proficiency in FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD platforms to design, document, and validate production-ready components and assemblies. This opportunity is ideal for professionals passionate about precision engineering, technical documentation, and advancing the future of intelligent design tools. Scope of Work • Create and modify detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable software. • Develop comprehensive engineering drawings, including GD&T and tolerance stack-ups, suitable for manufacturing handoff. • Design for a variety of manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding. • Perform CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to ensure model accuracy and readiness for production use. • Prepare clear, concise technical documentation and assembly instructions as reference materials for AI model training. • Incorporate feedback from technical reviewers to revise and improve CAD models and supporting documents.
