About The Position

Develop detailed 2D production drawings and 3D solid/surface models using specialized software. This role involves reviewing technical data for completeness and accuracy, defining processes, and developing documentation. The CAD Designer/Modeler will identify tooling, jig, and fixture requirements, support CNC file development, and identify design interferences and manufacturing concerns. This position also provides support to Project Managers and Engineering personnel in areas such as scheduling, data gathering, limited analyses, and preparation of technical reports. Collaboration with engineers, project managers, and manufacturing team members is essential to understand specifications and troubleshoot issues. The role requires the ability to interpolate or derive data for reverse engineering efforts and to update designs based on feedback or changing project scopes. Participation in project events and reporting project status are also key responsibilities.
