Target Toolchain

• FreeCAD (Part Design, Sketcher, TechDraw, Assembly)
• STEP / IGES export workflows
• Remote Ubuntu/Linux desktop environments (noVNC/VNC)

Key Responsibilities

• Execute multi-step parametric CAD tasks in FreeCAD within remote Linux desktop environments.
• Record clean human execution trajectories, capturing mouse clicks, sketch constraints, dimensions, and input parameters.
• Identify ambiguous design briefs, under-constrained sketches, missing library models, and FreeCAD stability issues.
• Execute alternative valid modeling paths to verify that automated grading scripts accept technically correct designs.

Requirements

• Practical, hands-on experience with FreeCAD for 3D part modeling and technical drawing.
• Strong knowledge of parametric CAD workflows, including sketches, constraints, dimensions, and assemblies.
• Ability to navigate CAD software efficiently and troubleshoot sketch constraint issues.
• High attention to dimensional accuracy and design specification adherence.
• Clear written English for submitting execution logs and solvability feedback.
• Preferred: Experience with remote Linux desktop environments (noVNC or VNC).
• Preferred: Background in CAD quality assurance, technical testing, or design benchmarking.
