Job Title: FreeCAD Expert (BIM & IFC Focus)

Job Type: Contract

Location: Remote

Job Summary:

Join our customer’s team as a FreeCAD Expert specialized with BIM and IFC workflows. In this pivotal role, you’ll showcase your expertise by completing end-to-end parametric CAD projects, while also revealing your professional process and decision-making to help train next-generation AI. Your command of FreeCAD, combined with in-depth BIM and IFC knowledge, will directly shape how advanced technology understands engineering and design logic.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Lead full parametric modeling projects in FreeCAD from conception through production-ready deliverables.
2. Utilize BIM and IFC, coordinate, and document building models (walls, slabs, structures, etc.).
3. Import, export, and validate IFC data to ensure seamless interoperability with other CAD/BIM platforms.
4. Develop and manage constrained sketches, parametric model trees, and building components throughout project lifecycles.
5. Prepare detailed documentation sets, including technical drawings and model exports (STEP, STL, DXF, IFC).
6. Articulate your modeling strategies, BIM structuring choices, and interoperability considerations clearly in both written documentation and verbal recordings.
7. Collaborate with technical teams to capture and convey the rationale behind your workflow, supporting AI learning objectives.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Expert-level proficiency in FreeCAD, with a strong portfolio of complex, completed projects.
2. Proven track record managing full parametric 3D CAD workflows using FreeCAD from concept to production.
3. Deep practical knowledge of BIM methodologies and IFC standards, including relevant FreeCAD workbenches.
4. Hands-on experience with building elements, model structuring, and data management for interoperability.
5. Solid skills in AutoCAD, CAM, and other 3D CAD software environments.
6. Exceptional written and verbal communication abilities, with attention to detail in documentation.
7. Ability to self-direct in a remote, collaborative environment, meeting high standards of professionalism and technical rigor.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Experience contributing to FreeCAD’s open-source community or developing custom add-ons.
2. Background in AI, machine learning projects, or technical knowledge capture.
3. Familiarity with workflows bridging FreeCAD to other BIM/CAD platforms.
