Job Title: CAD Design Engineer (SolidWorks) – Pilot Dataset Project

Role Overview

Seeking experienced CAD professionals to develop a structured dataset of high-quality SolidWorks parts across Automotive, Aerospace, and Healthcare domains. The role involves end-to-end part modeling, annotation, documentation, and reasoning capture aligned with strict engineering and quality standards.

This is a short-term pilot project (weekend delivery) with potential for extended collaboration based on performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and build SolidWorks parts (SLDPRT) based on detailed engineering briefs and problem statements

• Follow step-by-step build directions to ensure reproducibility and consistency

• Create fully constrained sketches and clean feature trees (no suppressed/unused elements)

• Record screen capture of the modeling process with clear voiceover, subtitles, or annotations

• Develop and validate working macros to rebuild parts from scratch

• Produce 2D drawings (.SLDDRW) aligned with engineering standards

• Apply Model-Based Definition (MBD) with complete GD&T (datums, tolerances, dimensions)

• Document engineering reasoning in structured JSON format for all annotation decisions

• Ensure assemblies (where applicable) are properly mated and functional

Dataset Complexity distribution: Easy / Medium / Hard (as per specification)

Each part must include:

• 3D model

• Macro

• Screen recording

• 2D drawing

• MBD annotations

• Reasoning log

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience and strong proficiency in SolidWorks (part modeling, assemblies, drawings, MBD)

• Deep understanding of GD&T and engineering design principles

• Experience with parametric modeling and feature tree optimization

• Ability to create fully constrained, production-grade CAD models

• Familiarity with automation/macros in SolidWorks

• Strong documentation and communication skills (for annotations and reasoning logs)

• Prior experience in Automotive, Aerospace, or Healthcare design preferred

Deliverables Quality Expectations

• Clean, reproducible models with no errors or missing constraints

• Engineering-grade annotations reflecting real-world functional intent

• Clear, structured, and traceable design reasoning

• High-quality recordings demonstrating build methodology and thought process

Engagement Details

• Project Type: Pilot / Freelance

• Timeline: Weekend delivery

• Collaboration: Individual contributors

Application Requirements

• Confirmation of availability and interest

• Number of parts that can be delivered within the timeline

• One sample SolidWorks part (with documentation) demonstrating capability

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Detail-oriented CAD expert with strong engineering judgment

• Able to balance speed, quality, and documentation rigor

• Comfortable working with structured specifications and reproducible workflows
