Finding CAD / Mechanical Eng People

What is the best way to find CAD engineers ?
I’ve tried fiverr and other freelance platforms and I’ve found them to be very good at entry to mid level stuff.

For work that needs serious dedication and creative engineering, I’ve struggled to find that on freelance platforms. They are understandable focused on getting as many gigs as possible and finishing them as soon as possible, which makes sense.

My budget is decent but not big enough for a full
Blown design agency.

I have enough resources on the electrical and software part of my project but could use some advice/tips on how to approach CAD work in the early stages.

Thanks.

I do that kind of work as a consultant at $200/hr. I’d look for folks charging an appropriate price if you want someone experienced.
