Role Description and Project Context

This article organizes the employer-supplied scope, eligibility and application details by topic. Publication on the Global Remote job blog does not indicate that micro1 operates a physical office or offers local employment contracts there.

Note on Software: We're looking for experts with strong 3D parametric CAD modelling experience — for example, in Autodesk Fusion 360 Specialist. This experience is directly transferable to FreeCAD, which is the software this project will focus on. Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop fully parametric 3D models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs, emphasizing robust sketching, constraints, and feature trees.
• Edit and update existing parametric CAD models to reflect evolving requirements, ensuring manufacturability and compliance with specifications.
• Audit and review CAD models for dimensional accuracy, tolerance application, and alignment with design intent, calling out any gaps or deviations.
• Support AI model training by delivering consistent, high-quality CAD data and clear documentation of design decisions.
• Apply deep working knowledge of manufacturing processes—such as injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and casting/forging—to optimize designs for production.
• Communicate design rationale, feedback, and technical insights with clarity—both in writing and verbally—in support of collaboration and continuous project improvement.

Preferred Qualifications

• Extensive hands-on experience with parametric CAD platforms (ideally FreeCAD, with strong proficiency in Autodesk Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or Inventor acceptable).
• Proven application of GD&T principles (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent) in real-world projects.
• Demonstrated DFM expertise across at least 2-3 manufacturing processes relevant to the project scope.
• 4+ years of applied experience for model editing tasks; 10+ years for complex model creation assignments.
• Proven ability to tackle assembly-level modeling, not just single-part tasks.
• Experience in reverse engineering workflows, such as scan-to-CAD or point cloud conversions, is highly valued.
• Familiarity with CAD automation or scripting (e.g., Python, iLogic, NX Open, VBA) considered a strong plus for automating and standardizing workflows.
