Role Title: CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD) Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialists (FreeCAD) to contribute to a leading-edge customer project focused on AI model training. 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. Scope of Work
- Produce, edit, and validate precise parametric CAD models using FreeCAD, focusing on robust geometric accuracy and engineering best practices.
- Develop a diverse library of mechanical parts, assemblies, and features to support AI dataset creation and model training needs.
- Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles to ensure models reflect real-world mechanical design standards.
- Conduct quality assurance reviews of CAD data, identifying and resolving discrepancies while maintaining detailed engineering documentation.
- Implement feedback and revisions efficiently to continually refine CAD deliverables in response to evolving project requirements.
- Optionally utilize Python scripting to automate modeling tasks or enhance model parametrization for increased efficiency and dataset richness.
- Document modeling workflows and decisions to ensure reproducibility and transparency in the dataset creation process. Preferred Qualifications
- 2+ years of experience in mechanical design, CAD modeling, manufacturing, or industrial engineering, with a strong track record using FreeCAD or equivalent parametric CAD software.
- Demonstrated expertise in parametric modeling and mechanical design, with a deep understanding of engineering best practices.
- Proficiency in CAD validation and the application of GD&T for real-world manufacturing scenarios.
- Familiarity with industrial engineering principles and common manufacturing processes.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to precision and quality in all deliverables.
- Experience preparing comprehensive engineering documentation for technical and non-technical audiences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply to Micro1 from outside the US or UK?
Yes. Micro1 accepts applicants from most countries worldwide, unlike DataAnnotation or Outlier, both of which cap access to a handful of English-speaking countries. Most roles still require strong written and spoken English.
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Design work look like for a CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD)?
Tasks here are scoped to Design, not generic labeling. As a CAD Data Generation & Validation Specialist (FreeCAD), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Design) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Design background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 50 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
