We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Mechanical Design and CAD professionals with strong expertise in parametric modelling, GD&T, tolerance stack-up, design for manufacturability and assembly, production drawings, and engineering release workflows to contribute to an advanced AI training and mechanical-design evaluation project.
Selected professionals will solve and review complex mechanical-design problems, assess AI-generated engineering responses, analyse production-ready designs, and provide rigorous feedback across CAD modelling, tolerancing, manufacturing constraints, and drawing release. No prior experience in AI is required.
Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Design, CAD & Tolerancing
- Solve advanced part and assembly design problems across realistic production scenarios
- Review parametric CAD models for design intent, robustness, constraints, and maintainability
- Apply GD&T principles in accordance with ASME Y14.5
- Evaluate datum schemes, feature control frames, fits, interfaces, and dimensional requirements
- Perform or review worst-case and statistical tolerance stack-up analyses
DFM/DFA & Production Release
- Evaluate designs for manufacturability and assembly across machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting, and related processes
- Identify tooling, access, draft, fixturing, assembly, and producibility constraints
- Review engineering drawings for dimensions, tolerances, notes, and release readiness
- Support concept-to-detail design development and ECR/ECN-related changes
- Recommend practical improvements balancing function, manufacturing, and reliability
AI Evaluation & Technical Review
- Review AI-generated mechanical-design responses for technical correctness and practical applicability
- Identify incorrect assumptions, incomplete reasoning, or unrealistic design recommendations
- Distinguish substantive engineering issues from acceptable alternative approaches
- Provide clear, structured technical feedback supporting model improvement
- Collaborate remotely with other subject-matter experts and project participants
Ideal Profile
- BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related discipline
- 5+ years of production-design or comparable mechanical-engineering experience
- Proven experience owning designs through GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, drawing release, and production
- Expert knowledge of parametric CAD modelling
- Strong knowledge of GD&T per ASME Y14.5 and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Experience with machining, sheet metal, injection moulding, casting, or related manufacturing processes
- Familiarity with SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Inventor, or comparable CAD platforms
- PLM/PDM, CAM, CNC programming, or ASME B89 experience is advantageous
- CSWP or CSWE certification is a plus
- Strong technical problem-solving and communication skills
- Evidence of rigorous technical-review or problem-authoring experience, including standards work, competitions, publications, research recognition, or comparable achievements, is highly valued
- No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required
Engagement Details
- Independent contractor engagement
- Fully remote
- Displayed compensation range: $60–$130/hour
- Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
- Task completion time may vary depending on experience and workflow
- Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
- Work will involve mechanical design, CAD modelling, GD&T, tolerance stack-up, DFM/DFA, production drawing review, and AI-generated engineering-content evaluation
- Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
- Selected experts are expected to begin initial tasks within approximately 24–48 hours after onboarding
- Project scope, workload, design problems, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
- Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, manufacturer, engineering organisation, institution, or other third party
