Remote | Mechanical Design & Manufacturing Engineer
We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, design review, CAD workflows, tolerance analysis, and structured engineering documentation processes. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured engineering review, mechanical design analysis, manufacturing workflow assessment, documentation review, change management support, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their engineering expertise to review realistic mechanical and industrial engineering scenarios, evaluate technical requirements, prepare structured written outputs, and support accurate, evidence-based engineering workflow tasks.
Key Responsibilities
Professionals in this role may contribute to: Mechanical Design & Drawing Review
- Review engineering scenarios involving 2D drawings, CAD models, dimensional requirements, GD&T, defect lists, and design documentation
- Evaluate mechanical drawings and design artifacts against specified dimensions, tolerances, annotations, and documented requirements
- Support structured review of CAD-related workflows, design packages, and mechanical documentation
- Identify missing information, drawing inconsistencies, tolerance issues, and expected engineering review outcomes
Tolerance, DFM/DFA & Manufacturing Analysis
- Review tolerance stack-ups, manufacturability assessments, assembly constraints, and manufacturing process considerations
- Evaluate DFM/DFA reviews against defined checklists, process requirements, and documented design constraints
- Support structured analysis of machining, injection molding, sheet metal, additive manufacturing, or related manufacturing workflows
- Prepare clear written explanations for engineering decisions based on source materials and verifiable technical criteria
BOM, ECO & Change Management Support
- Review engineering change scenarios involving ECOs, BOM structures, revision control, required fields, and change documentation
- Evaluate BOMs against target structures, product requirements, engineering records, and defined documentation standards
- Support structured review of PLM workflows, change control materials, and product development documentation
- Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work
Ideal Profile Strong candidates may have:
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, product development, design engineering, or related technical roles
- Experience with one or more areas such as CAD design, GD&T, tolerance analysis, DFM/DFA, BOM management, ECO workflows, PLM systems, manufacturing process review, or product documentation
- Familiarity with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Inventor, or similar engineering software
- Familiarity with PLM or engineering documentation systems such as Arena, Teamcenter, Windchill, Agile PLM, or similar platforms
- Comfort reading and preparing mechanical engineering artifacts such as 2D drawings, CAD models, BOMs, tolerance analyses, ECOs, DFM reviews, and product documentation
- Strong written communication skills and ability to explain engineering reasoning clearly
- Ability to follow structured instructions and produce evidence-based work
Educational Background
- Bachelor's or master's degree in mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, product design, systems engineering, or a related technical field is helpful
- Equivalent practical experience in mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, product development, engineering change control, or technical documentation workflows is also highly relevant
Nice to Have
- Experience with machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, additive manufacturing, assembly processes, or supplier manufacturing workflows
- Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, design for manufacturing, design for assembly, and mechanical documentation standards
- Experience preparing or reviewing ECOs, BOMs, CAD drawings, product specifications, manufacturing plans, or DFM/DFA reports
- Familiarity with regulated product development, supplier quality, manufacturing transfer, or new product introduction workflows
- Strong attention to detail in technical documentation-heavy engineering environments
