Conduct engineering quality-assurance reviews of CAD models and drawings, identify issues, communicate findings, and help resolve them.

Use Python scripting for CAD automation to streamline repetitive or complex modeling tasks, when applicable.

Provide feedback on model accuracy, design intent, and process improvements.

Qualifications 2+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, product design, industrial engineering, or a related field focused on parametric CAD modeling.

Advanced proficiency with FreeCAD or an equivalent parametric CAD platform.

Strong mechanical design knowledge, including GD&T and design-for-manufacturing best practices.

Ability to produce comprehensive technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing and assembly.

Experience with engineering QA, model-integrity verification, and specification compliance.
