Local AI Engineer – CAD & Technical Drawing Analysis (Offline)

We are looking for an experienced AI/ML engineer to set up a fully offline AI system capable of analyzing mechanical engineering documents. Project requirements: Run an open-source AI model locally (no cloud APIs). Analyze technical drawings in PDF format. Read and interpret 3D CAD files (STEP/STP). Identify components, part numbers, quantities, and relationships between parts. Cross-reference information between 2D drawings and 3D models. Generate structured assembly/disassembly instructions based on the analyzed files. Expected deliverable: A working local Proof of Concept (PoC) that processes a technical PDF and its corresponding STEP file and produces a structured technical procedure. Ideal skills: Local LLMs, Vision-Language Models (VLMs), Python, CAD processing (OpenCascade/CadQuery), document understanding. Important: All processing must happen locally. No external API calls or cloud-based AI services. Please briefly describe your relevant experience, proposed technical approach, and estimated implementation time.
