$30 - $100/hour

micro1 is the leading AI data lab for training frontier models and evaluating AI agents. Experts contribute their diverse subject matter knowledge across domains such as finance, healthcare, STEM engineering, and more. micro1 transforms that real-world expertise into high-quality training data, evaluations, and feedback loops that improve how AI systems learn, reason, and perform.

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

micro1 is engaging CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialists (FreeCAD) to collaborate on a dynamic customer project focused on CAD data creation, editing, and rigorous model assessment. 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. This opportunity is ideal for professionals passionate about technical precision and the intersection of computer-aided design, Python scripting, and mechanical engineering. Contributors will be instrumental in producing exemplary CAD models and thorough documentation that meet strict engineering and manufacturing standards.

Scope of Work

• Generate, modify, and optimize parametric CAD models using FreeCAD according to customer and project specifications.
• Develop Python scripts to automate and streamline CAD workflows, ensuring reproducibility and scalability of model generation.
• Conduct comprehensive validation of CAD models, checking geometric accuracy, adherence to GD&T principles, and compliance with engineering constraints.
• Document modeling processes, decisions, and validation steps, producing clear, high-quality technical deliverables.
• Review and critique CAD data submissions for consistency, manufacturability, and alignment with project requirements.
• Collaborate asynchronously via written and verbal channels, communicating detailed technical feedback and improvement proposals.
• Support the creation of reference datasets used to train and evaluate AI models in mechanical and industrial engineering contexts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Expert proficiency in FreeCAD, with a track record of sophisticated parametric modeling for mechanical or industrial applications.
• Advanced Python skills, particularly as applied to CAD automation, customization, and data validation.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, engineering documentation standards, and manufacturing processes.
• Demonstrated experience applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) in CAD workflows.
• Meticulous attention to detail in validating CAD data for accuracy, completeness, and engineering quality.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective remote collaboration and documentation.
• Prior experience contributing to projects involving AI data generation or technical dataset curation is a plus.
