Mechanical CAD Expert (India)

Handshake AI

Up to $47/hr India Flexible hours Expert / credentialed

Remote, asynchronous review of AI mechanical design outputs on CAD, tolerancing and manufacturing workflows. Suits senior design engineers with concept-to-production experience and GD&T or simulation skills.

About the role

Opportunity Overview
Handshake is looking for experienced mechanical design engineers to support AI research through flexible, part-time contract work. This is not a traditional job — you'll draw on your hands-on experience in parametric CAD, GD&T, and design for manufacturing to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI reason like a practicing design engineer.
This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside your current role.
What You'll Do

  • Use your domain expertise to create expert-level mechanical design problems and scenarios grounded in real CAD, tolerancing, and manufacturing workflows
  • Review and evaluate AI-generated responses for technical accuracy, manufacturability, and alignment with how the work is actually done
  • Provide structured written feedback to help improve AI model performance
  • Complete tasks at your own pace with no set schedule or minimum hour requirement

Qualifications
Ideal candidates meet all three of the following:

  • Industry experience — senior-level, with a portfolio of manufactured designs and complex GD&T/FEA work. A strong portfolio carries more weight than an advanced degree alone
  • Degree — BS or MS in Mechanical Engineering paired with hands-on industry experience
  • Sub-domain depth — demonstrated expertise in one of the following areas:
  • Parametric CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, Fusion 360, Onshape)
  • GD&T and design for manufacturing (DFM)
  • FEA/simulation

Candidates who meet at least 2 of the 3 qualifications above are also encouraged to apply.
Additional qualifications (not required, but strengthen your application)

  • Proficiency across multiple CAD platforms and simulation environments
  • A portfolio demonstrating designs taken from concept through manufacturing

Required for all applicants

  • Must have Indian work authorization
  • Strong written communication and attention to detail
  • Ability to explain complex mechanical design concepts clearly
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, asynchronous environment
