FreeCAD Specialist Contract Role for Parametric Modeling Tasks
Listing checked September 4, 2026 · pay as published by SME Careers
Overview
Join SME Careers as a remote FreeCAD specialist tasked with designing realistic training tasks and documentation for AI data projects. You will craft tasks that exercise FreeCAD workflows, parametric modeling, Sketcher constraints, and TechDraw exports, then record each step for clarity. Tasks cover sketching, constraints, Part Design, and multi-part assemblies, with outputs documented in SuperAnnotate for review. This hourly contract supports a fast-growing AI data services company focused on open-source CAD use cases.
What You'll Do7
- 1Design realistic FreeCAD tasks that can be executed on a computer and document them clearly in SuperAnnotate.
- 2Prepare the work environment by ensuring FreeCAD is installed, project files are ready, and references/assets are prepared before recording.
- 3Record yourself performing the FreeCAD task from start to finish, following project instructions and keeping the workflow clear and complete.
- 4Provide task context with goals, dimensions, files, and notes so reviewers understand the design intent and how the task was completed.
- 5Demonstrate practical CAD usage by completing sketches with constraints, parametric features, workbenches such as Part Design and TechDraw, and necessary exports or assemblies.
- 6Maintain high submission quality by reviewing recordings and documentation to ensure realism, completeness, and alignment with project guidelines.
- 7Optionally develop task prompts or prompts for AI training to ensure recordings are useful and instructive for model training.
Requirements9
- 1Hands-on FreeCAD experience for parametric modeling, sketching, constraints, technical drawings, exports, or related CAD workflows.
- 2English proficiency at B2 level or higher to understand instructions, document tasks clearly, and communicate with the project team.
- 3Comfort with using a computer, managing files, installing/opening required programs, navigating interfaces, and recording workflows.
- 4Ability to design realistic FreeCAD tasks reflecting product design, mechanical modeling, technical drawing, or open-source CAD use cases.
- 5Strong understanding of FreeCAD fundamentals including Sketcher, constraints, Part Design, Part Workbench, bodies, sketches, pads, pockets, booleans, TechDraw, and file exports.
- 6Ability to verify your setup before recording, ensuring FreeCAD is installed, files are available, and assets/references are ready.
- 7High attention to detail in task preparation, execution, and making the recording understandable and complete.
- 8Reliable, self-directed, able to deliver consistent quality in an hourly remote contractor workflow across time zones.
- 9Additional professional skills in mechanical/product design, engineering, technical documentation, or related computer-based workflows are a plus.
Who Should Apply
Ideal candidates have hands-on FreeCAD task design experience and can document their work clearly. They communicate in English at B2+ and can manage a remote, hourly contract setup independently. This role suits freelancers who can craft realistic CAD tasks, record precise workflows, and deliver polished SuperAnnotate documentation. It is less suitable for those without FreeCAD experience or who require fixed, on-site hours or constant real-time supervision.
