Job Title: SolveSpace Expert

Job Type: Contract

Location: Remote

As an expert in SolveSpace, you will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact by demonstrating your proficiency in CAD workflows within a dynamic remote setting. In this distinct role, your practical knowledge will contribute to training AI on how leading professionals address real-world engineering and design challenges utilizing SolveSpace.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lead end-to-end parametric CAD projects in SolveSpace, from initial concept through to manufacturing export.
2. Document and articulate your real workflow, design reasoning, and decision-making process while working on live projects.
3. Create robust parametric sketches, applying comprehensive geometric and dimensional constraints.
4. Develop complex 3D features including extrudes, revolves, and helixes, as well as perform Boolean operations and refine fully constrained designs.
5. Organize assemblies, simulate mechanisms/linkages, and iterate designs based on engineering best practices.
6. Prepare and export CAM-ready files (DXF, STL, STEP, etc.) for a variety of manufacturing methods such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and waterjet machining.
7. Communicate effectively with team members, clearly explaining your process both verbally and in writing, to inform AI model development.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Extensive, hands-on expertise with SolveSpace, demonstrated by managing multiple full-cycle parametric CAD projects independently.
2. Strong knowledge of AutoCAD and CAD/CAM workflows, including experience with 3D modeling and computer-aided manufacturing.
3. Proficient in creating and constraining parametric sketches, building 3D features, and managing assemblies within SolveSpace.
4. Experience preparing files for various manufacturing technologies (e.g., 3D printing, laser cutting).
5. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, able to articulate complex design logic and engineering decisions clearly.
6. Proven ability to think critically about design intent, constraint logic, and iterative problem-solving in CAD environments.
7. Comfortable working independently in a remote setting with a focus on collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Prior experience teaching, mentoring, or documenting workflows for CAD users or teams.
2. Background in mechanical engineering, product design, or related technical fields.
3. Familiarity with mechanism/linkage simulation or advanced constraint management in SolveSpace.
