Create and edit 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on technical specifications.
Develop parametric models using sketches, constraints, dimensions, and feature trees.
Design and modify mechanical components while considering functionality, manufacturability, and engineering requirements.
Review CAD models for dimensional accuracy, tolerances, geometric consistency, and manufacturing feasibility.
Complete advanced CAD design tasks and document your workflows step by step, explaining key decisions and modeling techniques.
Create clear technical instructions and detailed prompts for mechanical design tasks.
Apply engineering judgment to identify design issues, improve models, and explain potential solutions.
Preferred qualifications
Hands-on experience with 3D parametric CAD modeling, mechanical parts, and assemblies.
Good understanding of mechanical design principles, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and manufacturing processes.
English proficiency at B2 level or higher.
Professional experience using SolidWorks or similar parametric CAD software.
A master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Previous experience with human data projects, such as data annotation, reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), or AI model evaluation.
Familiarity with manufacturing methods such as CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, or reverse engineering.
