Role Title: FreeCAD Expert Role Type: Contractor Location: Remote micro1 is engaging FreeCAD Experts to collaborate on a project supporting a customer in the mechanical engineering, aerospace, or industrial design sector. 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
- Author objective, precise, and non-guessable question-and-answer sets based on multi-part CAD assemblies provided in native FreeCAD format.
- Analyze complex mechanical designs, focusing on geometry, assembly relations, and engineering function to craft several technical questions per assembly.
- Ensure each question has an exact, verifiable answer that requires application of domain expertise.
- Deliver high-quality written content, demonstrating clarity and technical accuracy in both questions and answers.
- Collaborate asynchronously via written and verbal communication to clarify requirements, review feedback, and iterate on deliverables.
- Document insights or ambiguities encountered during the authoring process to support continuous improvement. Preferred Qualifications
- Extensive background in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or industrial design with strong foundational CAD knowledge.
- Significant experience working with multi-part assemblies and interpreting engineering drawings.
- Familiarity with FreeCAD or comparable CAD platforms; direct FreeCAD experience is a plus but not a strict requirement.
- Proficiency in communicating complex technical concepts clearly in both written and verbal formats.
- Demonstrated ability to author detailed technical questions or training material for engineering applications.
- Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to producing objective, assessment-ready content.
- Profile consistent with an expert or consultant who values accuracy and clarity in technical communication.
Requirements
- freecad
- mechanical engineering
- multi-part cad assembly analysis
- technical writing
- engineering drawing interpretation
- Must be eligible to work in Remote
How long hiring takes
Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for this one.
Key responsibilities
- Author objective, precise, and non-guessable question-and-answer sets based on multi-part CAD assemblies provided in native FreeCAD format.
- Analyze complex mechanical designs, focusing on geometry, assembly relations, and engineering function to craft several technical questions per assembly.
- Ensure each question has an exact, verifiable answer that requires application of domain expertise.
- Deliver high-quality written content, demonstrating clarity and technical accuracy in both questions and answers.
Why this role
The FreeCAD Expert role has you working directly inside multi-part CAD assemblies, writing precise technical questions about geometry, assembly relations, and engineering function that each have one exact, verifiable answer. It pays $40-$80 per hour and expects several detailed questions per assembly, delivered with the same clarity you would want in engineering documentation. Micro1 is looking for people with a real background in mechanical engineering, aerospace, or industrial design and strong CAD fundamentals; direct FreeCAD experience helps but comfort with comparable platforms works too.

Common questions
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 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 Design work look like for a FreeCAD Expert ?
Tasks here are scoped to Design, not generic labeling. As a FreeCAD Expert , 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 specific skills does this listing call for?
freecad, mechanical engineering, multi-part cad assembly analysis, and technical writing are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
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, 30 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $40–$80/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
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.
Do I need a Master's to qualify?
This role lists a master's degree as a requirement. In practice, the domain assessment is the real gate. If you can pass it, the degree is usually secondary. However, some platforms verify credentials formally, so list your actual qualifications accurately on your profile.
