Parametric CAD Engineer – OpenSCAD

Summary: The role of Parametric CAD Engineer – OpenSCAD involves leading OpenSCAD projects from inception to final model export, focusing on parametric design and Constructive Solid Geometry techniques. The position requires collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and documentation of workflows to support AI-driven design initiatives. The engineer will work remotely, committing between 10 to 40 hours per week, and must demonstrate strong communication skills and attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead end-to-end OpenSCAD projects from requirements gathering through final model export.
• Structure and document parametric scripts with reusable modules and clearly defined parameters.
• Apply Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) techniques to develop complex 3D models and 2D-to-3D extrusions.
• Rapidly iterate on parametric designs, demonstrating logical, script-driven engineering decisions.
• Prepare and export files (STL, OFF, and other standard formats) for manufacturing or prototyping workflows.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, clearly explaining design rationale and technical trade-offs.
• Document professional workflows and thought processes to support AI-driven design initiatives.

Key Skills:

• Extensive hands-on experience completing full OpenSCAD projects from concept to final export.
• Strong foundation in CAD principles and CSG methodologies.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD or comparable CAD tools.
• Experience creating and optimizing reusable parametric modules and scripts.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong technical clarity.
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment while contributing to team objectives.
• High attention to detail in engineering logic and design progression.
