CAD Design Engineer (SolidWorks) – Pilot Dataset Project
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
