Open Positions

Foreword

The mission of the FreeCAD project association (FPA) is to gather donations and spend that money on behalf of the FreeCAD project and the community. The FPA is not directly responsible for developing FreeCAD. That is the job of the community of developers who are working on FreeCAD. At the FPA, our responsibility is to help developers develop. Therefore, it is important to understand the primary goal of the money gathered by the FPA is to help FreeCAD developers. Funding priority will always be given to existing and active FreeCAD community members.

One of the funding programs developed by the FPA is the Grants program. The grants program allows any FreeCAD developer who feels money could help them to do a better job with FreeCAD to request an amount of money to perform a certain task.

Alongside the Grants program, the FPA also sponsors specific positions and tasks designed to help the overall FreeCAD development process. Below are the current open positions. If you are interested in one of these programs, send us an email at fpa@freecad.org. Make sure you read all the requirements below!

Current open positions

Job offer: Regression Bisect Specialist (Posted 1 September 2025)

The FPA is seeking applicants to help identify and document code regressions in FreeCAD.

Key responsibilities:

This role requires both technical persistence and emotional intelligence. Since regressions are often the result of well-meaning contributions, the grantee must approach the work with tact and respect—focusing on shared goals and not assigning blame. The ability to give clear, actionable feedback without alienating contributors is essential.

This is a six month trial program grant for 500 euros per month. On successful completion of this period, the program will be considered for an ongoing role. The selected applicant is expected to stay on top of new regression reports and build a backlog of bisected regressions, as well as mentor others to spread this skill throughout the developer community.

Position open until filled. Send resume and cover letter to fpa@freecad.org to apply.
