CAD / Fusion 360 Engineer

Engineering-Grade CAD Modeler, Novel Geometry (Aerospace / Federal R&D) We are seeking an experienced CAD engineer to produce engineering-grade 3D models of a patented novel turbine geometry for downstream CFD and structural analysis. This is a federal R&D engagement with active NASA and NSF SBIR submissions. This is not a design or rendering role. Output must be simulation-ready: dimensionally accurate, fully parametric, and importable directly into ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, or OpenFOAM without rework. Immediate deliverable: Engineering-grade Fusion 360 model of a quarter-scale unit based on issued USPTO patent drawings and written specifications provided at project start. Exports required in .step, .iges, and .stl formats. Follow-on work available for the right candidate as the platform expands. Requirements Fusion 360 at the engineering level, not consumer/hobbyist Experience producing simulation-ready geometry for CFD or FEA workflows Ability to work from patent drawings and written specifications U.S.-based required Must be willing to sign NDA before project start. Preferred Experience with non-standard or curved surface geometry Familiarity with ANSYS, COMSOL, or OpenFOAM file requirements Prior federal R&D or aerospace work To apply, include: Portfolio samples showing engineering-grade CAD, especially curved or parametric geometry Brief description of experience producing simulation-ready files Rate and availability Budget: Open based on demonstrated capability. Timeline: Phase 1 delivery within 3-4 weeks preferred.
