Summary

We're looking into the mechanical design space and want to understand in detail, how CAD professionals use tools like Solidworks. What you'll do (5–10 hrs/week to start): Showing us your real workflows in SolidWorks: how you build parts and assemblies, repair a feature tree or rebuild imported geometry, run an engineering change through revision control and the BOM, and hand off drawings and exports for manufacturing - and answering questions along the way: why this step, what's the shortcut, where do people go wrong? If you use SolidWorks regularly and can talk through your process clearly, you're exactly who we're looking for. No prep needed, just your day-to-day expertise. Who you are - any of these backgrounds fits: - Medical Device / Healthcare Mechanical Engineer - you design under design controls (ISO 13485 / FDA), with revision-controlled drawings and documentation behind every change. - Aerospace & Defense Design Engineer - you live in configuration management: ECNs, drawing packages, and first-article inspection against requirements. - Automotive / Consumer Hardware / Manufacturing Engineer - you take parts from design through DFM, BOM release, tooling, and supplier hand-offs. Must-have: 5+ years of hands-on, near-daily use of SolidWorks; fluency with assemblies, drawings, configurations, and PDM/revision control; able to articulate why you do what you do, not just click through it. Nice-to-have: experience across more than one of the profiles above; PLM-connected work (Arena, Windchill, Teamcenter) or hand-offs to adjacent tools (CAM, ANSYS or other CAE, Creo/NX/CATIA at client sites) in a regulated industry.
