Senior FreeCAD Engineer

The landscape of artificial intelligence is transitioning rapidly from basic text processing into deep spatial, mechanical, and technical reasoning. As autonomous agents and advanced machine learning architectures take on complex engineering tasks, the demand for precise, human-verified CAD data has surged. Leading this technical frontier is micro1, the premier AI data lab constructing the human intelligence layer required to train world-class engineering and reasoning systems.

For elite mechanical engineers, product design professionals, and open-source CAD experts looking to apply their deep technical domain knowledge to transformative technological frameworks, micro1 has opened an elite contracting engagement: the Senior FreeCAD Engineer position. This role offers top-tier professionals the freedom of remote work combined with premium hourly compensation.

Redefining AI Intelligence Through Deep Mechanical Expertise

Standard machine learning algorithms can analyze surface-level data, but true spatial intelligence requires a deep understanding of parametric geometry, mechanical assembly mechanics, manufacturing constraints, and structural integrity. Machines do not inherently understand why a specific tolerance matters, how assembly constraints behave under stress, or how to translate conceptual engineering intent into production-ready technical drawings.

As a Senior FreeCAD Engineer, your core mission is to serve as an expert architect and validator of advanced CAD workflows. You will collaborate on dynamic customer initiatives designed to teach frontier models how to comprehend, generate, and critique complex mechanical systems. Your real-world domain mastery ensures that AI models develop robust, mathematically sound, and manufacturable reasoning capabilities.

Comprehensive Scope of Work

Contractors selected for this role undertake multifaceted technical responsibilities that directly shape how artificial intelligence systems interpret spatial designs. Core day-to-day deliverables include:

• Parametric Modeling: Creating, modifying, and validating detailed parametric CAD models in FreeCAD that adhere strictly to custom project specifications.
• Assembly Optimization: Developing and optimizing complex mechanical assemblies while leveraging best practices in component integration and mechanical hierarchy.
• Applying Tolerancing Standards: Integrating rigorous GD&T and DFM principles into designs to guarantee ultimate manufacturability, structural efficiency, and quality control.
• Technical Drafting: Generating clean, precise technical drawings and documentation packages designed for rigorous engineering review and downstream production workflows.
• Engineering Quality Assurance: Conducting meticulous QA audits on CAD models and technical drawings to isolate, communicate, and resolve geometric or structural discrepancies.
• Workflow Automation: Utilizing Python scripting to build automation pipelines that optimize intricate modeling tasks and scale efficiency (highly preferred).
• Collaborative Feedback: Providing insightful, granular feedback regarding model accuracy, design intent, and continuous process improvements to the project team.
