Expert Opportunity - Mechanical / CAD Design Engineer, AI Task Reviewer ($100/hr)

Job summary

Review engineering drawing packages, CAD models, feature trees, and parts lists for completeness, consistency, and engineering realism. Provide concise findings and a clear pass, fix, or reject recommendation.

Job details

About This Opportunity We’re working with a leading AI lab that needs experienced mechanical design engineers to review a set of engineering drawing packages and CAD models for quality and realism. Each package is a small mechanical product: engineering drawings, part and assembly models, a bill of materials etc. Your job is to review it the way a drawing-office checker would and tell us whether it is complete, consistent and something a real engineering team would issue. What You’ll Do Check drawings for completeness and ambiguity: views, dimensions, datums, tolerances and notes Judge whether the design is realistic: manufacturable parts, sensible fits and hardware, mechanisms that work as described Check CAD models and feature trees against the drawings and the parts list Write short, specific findings with a clear pass / fix / reject call Compensation: $100/hour Commitment: Up to 10 hours, with the possibility of this being extended Location: Fully remote, work on your own schedule Start date: ASAP Key Requirements 5+ years as a mechanical or product design engineer, with your name on drawings and assemblies released for manufacture Fluent in at least one parametric CAD package (SolidWorks, NX, Creo, Fusion 360, Onshape or FreeCAD) and willing to work in FreeCAD Confident reading and critiquing engineering drawings to ISO or ASME conventions: GD&T, fits, datums, section and detail views Practical knowledge of machining, sheet metal, castings and standard hardware, and of what a real drawing office would and would not issue Experience checking or approving other engineers’ drawings is a strong plus Clear, concise written feedback and attention to detail

What you’ll do

Review engineering drawing packages, CAD models, feature trees, and parts lists for completeness, consistency, and engineering realism. Provide concise findings and a clear pass, fix, or reject recommendation.

Requirements

Requires at least five years of mechanical or product design engineering experience, including drawings and assemblies released for manufacture, and fluency in a parametric CAD package with willingness to use FreeCAD. Candidates should be confident reviewing ISO or ASME drawings and GD&T, understand manufacturing processes and standard hardware, and provide clear, detailed feedback.
