About the Role
micro1 is engaging Mechanical Design Engineer – CAD & Manufacturing experts to contribute technical expertise on a customer's engineering project. 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.
What You'll Do
- Create and interpret professional engineering drawings, ensuring all relevant details are conveyed for manufacturing.
- Translate complex design requirements into clear, manufacturable CAD specifications, with a focus on accuracy and precision.
- Produce detailed 2D and 3D models using industry-standard tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Inventor, Creo, NX) and reference models in FreeCAD.
- Apply advanced principles of tolerancing, dimensioning, and Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) to all deliverables.
- Document and communicate manufacturing processes and design intent in clear, well-structured written and verbal formats.
- Review, critique, and improve existing engineering documentation to enhance clarity and manufacturability.
- Contribute insights on design for manufacture (DFM) and help optimize parts for real-world production scenarios.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: solidworks, fusion 360, onshape, inventor, creo, nx, freecad, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (gd&t), engineering drawing interpretation, technical documentation, design for manufacturing (dfm), manufacturing processes, material selection, drafting standards, remote collaboration, written communication, verbal communication, feedback and critique, precision and accuracy, problem-solving
- Extensive industry experience in mechanical design, with parts successfully transitioned from concept through to manufacturing.
- Expert-level proficiency in CAD software, with demonstrated capability across multiple platforms (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape, Inventor, Creo, NX).
- Solid hands-on knowledge of FreeCAD for interpreting or referencing models.
- Strong command of drafting standards, GD&T, tolerancing, and the creation of technical documentation suitable for manufacturing.
- Deep understanding of various manufacturing processes, material selection, and DFM best practices.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, able to document decisions and explain engineering concepts clearly.
- Experience collaborating on engineering projects remotely and sharing feedback in a constructive, professional manner.
