We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Autodesk Fusion 360 Specialists with strong expertise in parametric CAD modelling, mechanical assemblies, GD&T, design for manufacturability, reverse engineering, and CAD automation to contribute to an advanced AI training and engineering-data project. Selected professionals will develop, edit, audit, and document robust parametric 3D models based on detailed technical requirements, applying real-world manufacturing knowledge and professional CAD standards. Although the role targets Autodesk Fusion 360 expertise, the project itself will focus on FreeCAD, making transferable parametric-modelling experience especially relevant. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

Parametric CAD Modelling Develop fully parametric 3D models of mechanical parts and assemblies Build models from detailed written briefs and technical requirements Apply robust sketching, geometric constraints, dimensions, and feature-tree structures Ensure models remain editable, stable, and adaptable as requirements evolve Maintain strong design intent throughout complex modelling workflows CAD Editing & Model Maintenance Edit and update existing parametric CAD models Incorporate changing specifications while preserving model integrity Diagnose fragile constraints, broken references, or unstable features Refine geometry to improve robustness and downstream manufacturability Maintain organised and understandable modelling structures GD&T, DFM & Manufacturing Review Apply GD&T principles consistent with ASME Y14.5 or equivalent standards Evaluate dimensional accuracy, tolerance application, and design intent Apply Design for Manufacturability principles to mechanical designs Consider manufacturing processes such as injection moulding, sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, and casting or forging Identify geometry or tolerance decisions that may create manufacturing difficulties CAD Auditing & Quality Assurance Audit models for dimensional correctness, feature consistency, and specification compliance Identify gaps, deviations, or inconsistencies between requirements and final geometry Review assemblies as well as individual components Evaluate whether models reflect intended mechanical relationships and constraints Provide structured feedback and recommendations for correction Reverse Engineering & CAD Automation Support reverse-engineering workflows such as scan-to-CAD and point-cloud conversion Translate existing geometry or physical references into structured parametric models Use automation or scripting to improve repeatability and efficiency Apply tools such as Python, iLogic, NX Open, VBA, or comparable automation technologies where relevant Help standardise repetitive modelling and validation workflows Design Documentation & Technical Communication Document modelling decisions, assumptions, and design rationale clearly Explain technical choices in both written and verbal formats Provide structured feedback supporting continuous project improvement Communicate manufacturing and design considerations to multidisciplinary contributors Maintain high standards of clarity, accuracy, and attention to detail Ideal Profile Extensive hands-on experience with parametric CAD platforms Strong proficiency with Autodesk Fusion 360 Experience with SolidWorks, Inventor, FreeCAD, or comparable parametric CAD tools is highly relevant Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal, as the project itself will focus on FreeCAD Proven application of GD&T principles in real-world engineering work Strong Design for Manufacturability expertise across at least 2–3 manufacturing processes Experience with injection moulding, sheet metal, CNC machining, casting, forging, or comparable production methods At least 4+ years of applied CAD experience is preferred for model-editing work Approximately 10+ years of relevant experience may be appropriate for complex model-creation assignments Strong assembly-level modelling experience rather than exclusively single-part work Experience with reverse engineering, scan-to-CAD, or point-cloud conversion is highly valued Familiarity with CAD automation or scripting using Python, iLogic, NX Open, VBA, or comparable tools is advantageous Strong problem-solving skills and meticulous attention to detail Excellent written and verbal technical communication No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required Engagement Details Independent contractor engagement Fully remote Compensation: $40–$100/hour Work will involve parametric CAD modelling, model editing, CAD auditing, GD&T, DFM, assembly design, and engineering documentation The project will primarily use FreeCAD , while strong Autodesk Fusion 360 and transferable parametric CAD expertise are highly relevant Assignments may include mechanical part creation, assembly modelling, reverse engineering, manufacturing review, and CAD automation Experience requirements may vary by task complexity, particularly between model-editing and advanced model-creation assignments Project scope, workload, modelling requirements, and quality standards may evolve depending on project needs Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party About the Platform This opportunity is available through 24-MAG LLC.
