1. Oversee comprehensive parametric modeling projects in FreeCAD, guiding them from initial concept to production-ready outputs.
2. Employ BIM and IFC standards to coordinate, manage, and document building elements such as walls, slabs, and structures.
3. Handle the import, export, and validation of IFC data to guarantee smooth compatibility with various CAD/BIM platforms.
4. Create and maintain constrained sketches, parametric model hierarchies, and building components throughout the duration of projects.
5. Generate detailed documentation, including technical drawings and model exports in formats like STEP, STL, DXF, and IFC.
6. Clearly communicate your modeling approaches, BIM organizational strategies, and interoperability considerations through written documentation and verbal presentations.
7. Work collaboratively with technical teams to document the reasoning behind your workflows, aiding AI training and learning initiatives.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

1. Advanced expertise in FreeCAD, demonstrated by a strong portfolio of intricate, completed projects.
2. Established experience managing end-to-end parametric 3D CAD workflows using FreeCAD, from concept development to production.
3. In-depth practical understanding of BIM processes and IFC standards, including proficiency with relevant FreeCAD workbenches.
4. Practical experience working with building elements, model structuring, and managing data for interoperability purposes.
5. Proficient skills in AutoCAD, CAM, and other 3D CAD software systems.
6. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with meticulous attention to documentation detail.
7. Ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative setting, consistently upholding high levels of professionalism and technical excellence.

Preferred Qualifications:

1. Experience contributing to the FreeCAD open-source community or developing custom plugins.
2. Background in AI, machine learning projects, or technical knowledge documentation.
3. Knowledge of workflows that integrate FreeCAD with other BIM/CAD platforms.
