Accountabilities:

The role involves creating high-quality parametric CAD models and demonstrating effective modeling strategies through structured design tasks. Participants will be responsible for producing accurate, editable deliverables while maintaining clear design intent and modification readiness.

• Create complex parametric CAD models based on realistic mechanical engineering requirements.
• Develop 3D assemblies using professional modeling practices and structured feature-based workflows.
• Perform and document structural modification tasks on existing designs.
• Maintain clean, logical feature trees that clearly demonstrate design history and intent.
• Ensure all final deliverables are provided as native, editable SolidWorks files.
• Apply engineering judgment to anticipate future modifications and maintain model flexibility.
• Follow project guidelines and complete assigned modeling tasks within expected timelines.

Requirements:

The ideal candidate has professional experience in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or CAD-based product development, with strong knowledge of parametric modeling principles and 3D design tools.

• Professional experience in mechanical engineering, industrial design, or a related technical field.
• Strong proficiency with parametric 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks, NX, Fusion 360, or similar platforms.
• Ability to create native, fully editable SolidWorks parts and assemblies.
• Experience building models with structured feature trees and clear design history.
• Understanding of design intent principles and workflows that support future modifications.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce clean, organized CAD files.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, project-based environment.

Benefits:

This contract opportunity provides flexibility and compensation for professionals contributing their CAD expertise to a specialized research project.

• Remote contract work available across the United States.
• Compensation of $200 per completed task.
• Flexible participation based on project requirements and availability.
• Opportunity to contribute to research focused on engineering and AI-related applications.
• Ability to showcase advanced CAD modeling expertise through practical assignments.
