CAD Assembly Design Expert

The work

You will create and review multi-part assemblies that show sound professional CAD practices. The work includes explaining design intent, assembly logic, manufacturability, and the trade-offs behind technical decisions.

• Interpret product requirements and create robust, manufacturable multi-part assemblies.
• Build, annotate, optimize, and review 3D models using advanced parametric CAD methods.
• Make and explain decisions about assembly architecture, component placement, mating strategies, and tolerance stack-ups.
• Document modeling practices, design rationale, trade-offs, and design-for-manufacturability considerations.
• Review sample designs and give detailed feedback on modeling strategies, design intent, and feasibility.
• Explain complex CAD decisions clearly in writing and discussion within an asynchronous remote setting.
• Contribute mentoring or educational content that helps others understand expert CAD methods.
