Job Description

NOTE: This job is not for a full-time employee role.

Are you the change agent responsible for deploying a model-based definition (MBD) initiative? 

If so, you might be a good fit for Lifecycle Insights’ Industry Expert Program.  

We are paying $150 to $300 an hour to interview subject-matter experts about how their organizations have decided to assess, plan, and depl oy MBD initiatives across their company and supply chain.  

Excellent candidates have worked to assess, plan, and deploy initiatives for:  

• Engineering to develop design documentation, moving from 2D drawings to 3D models with PMI, 
• Procurement or sourcing to use a 3D model with PMI as part of their RFQ or RFP process,
• Manufacturing to develop machining toolpaths based on a 3D model with PMI,  
• Quality to develop inspection approaches using a 3D model with PMI, or  
• Suppliers to accept and use a 3D model with PMI for their internal processes to deliver materials back to your company.  

In a model-based definition ( MBD ) initiative, engineering creates design documentation as 3D models with embedded PMI instead of 2D drawings. These deliverables are used throughout the product development and production processes to make mechanical components, assemblies, and products.
