Product Design Engineer (Remote, Contract)

About the role

We are seeking a skilled Product Design Engineer to work remotely on a contract basis. You will translate conceptual sketches into production‑ready 3D models using OpenSCAD, delivering high‑quality designs for a variety of projects.

Key responsibilities

• Develop, document, and optimise OpenSCAD scripts for simple and complex CAD models.
• Convert conceptual sketches into detailed, production‑ready designs.
• Utilise advanced OpenSCAD features such as Boolean operations, list comprehensions, and flow control to create diverse geometries.
• Apply techniques like linear_extrude, rotate_extrude, and minkowski to construct innovative 3D forms.
• Build 3D shapes from 2D shadows and efficiently place basic forms within the design space.
• Design repeatable components using nesting and loop constructs.

Required profile

• Deep, hands‑on experience with OpenSCAD; proficiency in other CAD systems is not sufficient.
• Strong command of OpenSCAD syntax, constants, operators, special variables, and modifier characters.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills to explain technical concepts clearly.
