Role Description
Handshake is looking for skilled SolveSpace users to support AI research through flexible, hourly contract work. This is not a traditional job. You'll draw on your hands-on experience with geometric constraint modeling, mechanism design, or parametric 3D CAD to evaluate AI-generated content and provide feedback that helps AI better understand mechanical design tasks and engineering workflows. This is an ongoing, project-based opportunity you can take on alongside anything else you have going on.
Qualifications
-
At least 3+ years of hands-on experience with SolveSpace, whether through professional work or freelance projects
-
A working knowledge of geometric constraint solving, mechanism design, and parametric modeling concepts
-
Strong written communication skills and attention to detail
-
The ability to work independently and follow written guidelines
Requirements
-
Experienced SolveSpace user who has worked in or around roles like Mechanical Engineer, Mechanism Design Engineer, Robotics Engineer, R&D Engineer, Kinematics Researcher, or CAD Designer
-
Solid experience with one or more of the following:
-
Geometric constraint modeling, mechanism design, or parametric 3D CAD using SolveSpace
-
Robotics CAD, kinematic analysis, or mechanical assembly workflows
-
Annotating or labeling CAD models and engineering drawings
-
Reviewing mechanical designs for accuracy, performance, or design consistency
Benefits
-
Status: Independent contractor (not a full-time employee role)
-
Location: Fully remote; work from anywhere with a reliable internet connection and access to a desktop or laptop computer
-
Schedule: Flexible and asynchronous, with no minimum hour requirement. Many contributors work approximately 5β20 hours per week when assigned to an active project
-
Duration: The Handshake AI program runs year-round, with projects opening periodically across different areas of expertise. Placement depends on current project needs, with opportunities to be considered for future projects as they become available
Work Authorization
-
Must be currently residing in the United States.
