Digital Surface Modeler

Position Overview

As a Digital Surface Modeler on the Industrial Design team, you will be responsible for developing both conceptual and production-ready CAD surface models that become visible, customer-facing products. This role partners closely with Mercury Marine’s Engineering, Product Integration, and Manufacturing team members to ensure surfaces meet aesthetic, functional, and manufacturing requirements while supporting Mercury Marine’s premium brand and performance expectations.

Essential Functions

• Create both Conceptual and Class-A surface geometry for customer-facing marine systems, including exterior outboard cowlings, peripheral covers, touchpoint-critical components, marine control systems, or hardware related to exterior displays.
• Develop Conceptual surface geometry when applicable to programs that require surface construction exploration, less defined constraints, and sensitivity to rapid iterations.
• Display high proficiency by interpreting 2D sketches and renderings, clay models, or foam mockups. Digital models may also be based on modifications to existing 3D surface models.
• Translate Industrial Design and Engineering criteria inputs into high-quality CAD surfaces that meet requirements for digital craftsmanship standards on fit and finish. Ensure G2/G3 surface continuity, curvature control, highlight quality, and draft-ready geometry that can be turned into high fidelity prototypes or used downstream into production-intent Class-A surface data.
• Maintain surface integrity through design changes and feedback loops from Engineering criteria, packaging requirements, tooling/molding requirements, specific CFD analysis feedback, and DFM or Supplier-based feedback loops.
• Balance multiple CAD projects, Data management responsibilities, and understanding engineering criteria effectively, with a strong focus on meeting program deadlines.
• Participate in Design reviews, Engineering reviews milestone gates, and overall technical program reviews.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Transportation Design or Product Design
• 5 years of experience in Digital Surfacing, both Conceptual and Class-A surface models
• Exceptionally strong proficiency with Autodesk Alias software
• Strong portfolio demonstrating Surfacing abilities, knowledge of design fundamentals integral to proper surface execution including proportions, volumes/masses and clean surface construction
• Proficiency in additional tools such as KeyShot, Adobe Creative Suite
• Awareness of the most recent digital surface modelling techniques
