Our client is an innovative engineering technology company developing advanced tools that support mechanical design, simulation, and manufacturing workflows. As part of their continued growth, they are seeking a Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Reviewer to join their team and play a key role in ensuring designs meet manufacturability and quality standards. Job descriptionOur client is building a labelled dataset of mechanical CAD parts annotated with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) attributes for Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining and injection moulding.Your job is to analyze 3D part geometry and apply structured, consistent DFM labels — identifying features that drive cost, complexity, or manufacturability risk. This labelled data trains machine learning models that can automatically evaluate parts for manufacturability. You dont need to be an ML engineer; you need to be an expert manufacturer who can think systematically about what makes a part hard or easy to make.What you would do Review 3D CAD geometry (parasolid files) and apply structured DFM labels across a large library of mechanical partsFor CNC machining: identify and label features such as deep pockets, thin walls, undercuts, poor tool access, non-standard radii, tight tolerances implied by geometry, and setup count driversFor injection molding: identify and label draft angle violations, sink risk zones, undercuts requiring side actions or lifters, wall thickness non-uniformity, weld line risk areas, and gate location constraintsApply severity ratings and flags (e.g., minor rework, requires special tooling, mold-breaking feature) consistently across partsWork within a structured labelling taxonomy — providing feedback to refine and expand label categories where the schema falls shortOccasionally annotate at the feature level (specific faces, edges, or regions) rather than just part-level flagsValidate labels for consistency and flag ambiguous cases for review RequirementsHands-on experience in CNC machining, injection molding, or DFM review in a manufacturing or engineering services contextStrong ability to read and interpret 3D CAD geometry — you dont need to model, but you need to look at a geometry file (STEP) and immediately identify manufacturability issuesExperience performing or reviewing DFM analyses in a production context (not just academic)Systematic, detail-oriented approach — labelling work requires consistency above all elseComfortable working with structured schemas and documentation requirementsCNC-Specific Knowledge (Required if labelling CNC parts)Deep familiarity with milling, turning, and m
