CAD Designer
About The Position
We are seeking a CAD Designer to join our design team supporting the development of Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) blanket systems. This role is ideal for candidates with a background in industrial design, apparel/technical design, or pattern development who are interested in applying their 3D-to-2D translation skills in a high-performance manufacturing environment. This is not an engineering role. We are looking for someone with strong spatial visualization skills, attention to detail, and an interest in growing their CAD capabilities — particularly in Creo. This role operates with direct mentorship and structured guidance while building technical proficiency.
Requirements
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in CAD Design, Industrial Design, or a related field.
- 2+ years of CAD engineering or design experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment.
- Basic proficiency in Creo (preferred) or equivalent CAD platforms such as SolidWorks.
- Strong ability to conceptualize 3D forms and translate them into accurate 2D flat patterns.
- High attention to detail and strong visual-spacial skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong organizational skills and ability to follow structured processes.
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite or similar tools.
- Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, production-focused environment.
Responsibilities
- Create and modify 3D CAD models in Creo based on design inputs and guidance from engineering.
- Translate 3D models into accurate 2D flat patterns for fabrication and production.
- Develop detailed drawings and documentation to support manufacturing.
- Assist with configuration updates and drawing revisions.
- Prepare layout files and ensure pattern accuracy for production use.
- Support internal design reviews and incorporate feedback into revisions.
- Maintain organized CAD files and follow established naming and revision control processes.
- Collaborate with engineering and production teams to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable.
- Learn and apply company design standards and CAD best practices.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of templates and workflow processes as skills develop.
