Mechanical Design / CAD Expert

Role Title: Mechanical Design / CAD Expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging Mechanical Design / CAD Experts to contribute their expertise to a challenging customer project focused on advanced engineering solutions. 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. Scope of Work • Provide detailed input on mechanical design solutions, including component and assembly modeling using advanced CAD tools. • Evaluate and critique engineering drawings for accuracy, manufacturability, and adherence to GD&T standards. • Assess and provide recommendations for design for manufacturability (DFM) and tolerance analysis practices. • Contribute insights on engineering mechanics, tribology, and geometric modeling challenges relevant to real-world applications. • Review and enhance graphics and geometric modeling representations for mechanical assemblies and systems. • Offer guidance on best practices in manufacturing engineering and help simulate realistic design scenarios. • Create written and verbal explanations of mechanical engineering concepts to inform the development and training of AI models. Preferred Qualifications • BS or MS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with a strong academic foundation. • Substantial experience in production design, including hands-on use of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and DFM principles. • Proficiency with industry-standard CAD platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, NX) and demonstrated 3D modeling expertise. • Strong understanding of tribology, engineering mechanics, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. • Experience in manufacturing engineering and knowledge of end-to-end product development. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to clearly convey technical concepts and feedback. • CSWP or CSWE certification is a plus, reflecting advanced proficiency in CAD and design workflows.
