FreeCAD Expert - Remote Contract
Listing checked September 12, 2026 · pay as published by Micro1
Overview
micro1 seeks FreeCAD Experts to support a customer in mechanical engineering, aerospace, or industrial design. You will create question-and-answer sets from multi-part CAD assemblies in native FreeCAD format. Your work helps train next-generation AI systems by providing real-world technical input. This is a remote contractor role with a pay range of $40 to $80 per hour.
What You'll Do6
- 1Write clear, precise, and non-guessable question-and-answer pairs based on multi-part CAD assemblies provided in FreeCAD format.
- 2Examine complex mechanical designs, focusing on geometry, assembly relations, and engineering function to develop multiple technical questions per assembly.
- 3Ensure each question has an exact, verifiable answer that demands domain expertise.
- 4Produce high-quality written content with clarity and technical accuracy in both questions and answers.
- 5Collaborate asynchronously through written and verbal communication to clarify requirements, review feedback, and refine deliverables.
- 6Document insights or ambiguities found during authoring to support ongoing improvement.
Requirements7
- 1Extensive background in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or industrial design with strong foundational CAD knowledge.
- 2Significant experience working with multi-part assemblies and interpreting engineering drawings.
- 3Familiarity with FreeCAD or comparable CAD platforms; direct FreeCAD experience is a plus but not mandatory.
- 4Proficiency in communicating complex technical concepts clearly in both written and verbal formats.
- 5Demonstrated ability to author detailed technical questions or training material for engineering applications.
- 6Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to producing objective, assessment-ready content.
- 7Profile consistent with an expert or consultant who values accuracy and clarity in technical communication.
Who Should Apply
This role suits mechanical, aerospace, or industrial design engineers with hands-on experience in multi-part CAD assemblies and a knack for writing precise technical questions. Candidates who have authored training material or assessment content for engineering will stand out. The position is less suitable for those who prefer hands-on design work over documentation or who lack strong written communication skills. A common reason candidates get rejected is submitting questions that are ambiguous or have multiple interpretations, which fails the requirement for exact, verifiable answers. Another pitfall is not demonstrating enough depth in assembly analysis, such as overlooking critical constraints or relations.
