Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. 24-MAG LLC is offering an independent consulting opportunity for a Manufacturing Design Engineer to create, modify, document, and validate production-ready mechanical parts and assemblies. The role focuses on parametric CAD modelling, mechanical and assembly design, engineering drawings, design for manufacturing, CAD validation, and technical documentation supporting an AI training project.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical components
• Develop and modify assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable parametric CAD software
• Apply robust constraints, feature structures, and design intent
• Maintain model stability and editability as requirements evolve
• Translate written and technical requirements into accurate production-oriented geometry
• Design mechanical parts and assemblies for real manufacturing environments
• Define interfaces, fits, constraints, and assembly relationships
• Evaluate component interactions across larger mechanical systems
• Apply practical mechanical-design judgement throughout the modelling process
• Incorporate reviewer feedback into revised CAD designs
• Produce comprehensive engineering drawings suitable for manufacturing handoff
• Apply GD&T principles and dimensional controls appropriately
• Develop tolerance stack-ups where required
• Ensure drawings accurately reflect model geometry and design intent
• Maintain clear, consistent, and production-ready drawing documentation
• Apply DFM principles throughout component and assembly development
• Design for processes such as sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection moulding
• Identify geometry that may create unnecessary manufacturing complexity
• Evaluate designs against practical manufacturability constraints
• Refine designs to improve production feasibility while preserving function
• Perform detailed reviews of CAD models for accuracy and completeness
• Validate geometry against dimensional and manufacturing requirements
• Identify modelling errors, inconsistencies, or missing design information
• Confirm models are suitable for downstream production or engineering use
• Maintain consistent quality standards across modelling assignments
• Prepare clear technical documentation and assembly instructions
• Explain modelling choices, assumptions, and design rationale
• Create reference materials suitable for AI training workflows
• Document revisions and validation findings clearly
• Communicate technical feedback effectively in both written and verbal formats

Skills

• Minimum of 2 years of experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing environments
• Strong expertise in FreeCAD or comparable parametric CAD platforms
• Experience with advanced 3D modelling, assemblies, and engineering drawing generation
• Practical exposure to sheet metal, CNC machining, plastics, and injection moulding
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis
• Solid understanding of Design for Manufacturing principles
• Proven ability to create production-grade CAD models
• Experience validating models against real-world manufacturability requirements
• Strong mechanical-design and spatial-reasoning skills
• Excellent written and verbal technical communication
• Strong attention to detail and engineering quality
• No prior experience in AI is required

Benefits

• Fully remote
