About the Role
micro1 is engaging Autodesk Inventor Specialists to contribute to a customer-focused project involving advanced mechanical design. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. Note on Software: We're looking for experts with strong 3D parametric CAD modelling experience — for example, in Autodesk Inventor Specialist. This experience is directly transferable to FreeCAD, which is the software this project will focus on. Prior FreeCAD experience is ideal.
What You'll Do
- Develop fully-parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs using Autodesk Inventor (or comparable platforms).
- Edit and update existing models to reflect revised requirements, ensuring all changes remain fully parametric and in line with best practices.
- Audit and review CAD models for compliance with dimensional, tolerance, and manufacturability criteria, identifying and documenting any gaps or issues.
- Create and interpret detailed technical drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 or equivalent GD&T standards.
- Ensure robust Design for Manufacturability (DFM) considerations across processes such as injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, and casting/forging.
- Support AI training initiatives by providing clear documentation and rationale for design decisions, edits, and audits.
- Communicate effectively in written and verbal formats, delivering precise feedback and solution-oriented insights to project stakeholders.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: autodesk inventor, parametric 3d cad modeling, gd&t (asme y14.5), design for manufacturability (dfm), technical drawing interpretation, assembly-level design, reverse engineering (scan-to-cad, point cloud-to-model), manufacturing process knowledge (injection molding, sheet metal, cnc machining, casting), cad model auditing, cad automation and scripting (python, ilogic, vba, nx open), documentation, written and verbal communication, problem-solving, attention to detail
- Minimum 4 years of hands-on parametric modeling experience for edit-level tasks; 10+ years for complex creation work.
- Expertise in Autodesk Inventor, with fluency in similar platforms like FreeCAD, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360 considered highly relevant.
- Demonstrated proficiency with GD&T (ASME Y14.5 or equivalent), with practical, real-world application.
- Proven DFM experience covering at least two to three manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, casting).
- Experience with reverse engineering workflows, such as scan-to-CAD or point cloud-to-model reconstruction.
- Ability to manage assembly-level designs and complex mechanical systems, not just single-part modeling.
- Familiarity with CAD automation, scripting (Python, iLogic, VBA, NX Open), or similar tools for enhancing workflow efficiency.
