Role Responsibilities
- Create fully-parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on written briefs.
- Edit and update existing parametric models to meet new technical requirements with complete documentation.
- Audit and review models for dimensional accuracy, proper tolerance application, and manufacturability.
- Apply deep knowledge of DFM principles for various manufacturing processes throughout modeling tasks.
- Translate design intent and requirements into clear, structured CAD data suitable for AI model training.
- Communicate effectively with project coordinators and fellow contributors through detailed reports and updates.
Requirements
- Have strong relevant experience in parametric CAD modeling (SolidWorks, FreeCAD, Fusion 360, or Autodesk Inventor).
- Practical application of GD&T per ASME Y14.5 or equivalent standards in manufacturing contexts.
- Track record in supporting at least two manufacturing methods: injection molding, sheet metal, CNC, or casting/forging.
- Current, active involvement in mechanical/industrial CAD modeling.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with emphasis on clear, concise project documentation.
- Reverse engineering capability (e.g., scan-to-CAD, point cloud conversions) considered a significant advantage.
