About The Position

We are seeking a skilled Manufacturing Design Engineer to create and modify detailed parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies using FreeCAD or comparable software. The role involves developing comprehensive engineering drawings, including GD&T and tolerance stack-ups, suitable for manufacturing handoff. You will design for a variety of manufacturing processes such as sheet metal fabrication, CNC machining, plastics, and injection molding. Responsibilities include performing CAD validation and quality assurance reviews to ensure model accuracy and readiness for production use, as well as preparing clear, concise technical documentation and assembly instructions for AI model training. Incorporating feedback from technical reviewers to revise and improve CAD models and supporting documents is also a key part of this role.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years' experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing environments.
• Expertise in FreeCAD or similar parametric CAD software for advanced modeling, assemblies, and drawing generation.
• Hands-on exposure to sheet metal, CNC, plastics, and injection molding design considerations.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices.
• Proven ability to produce production-grade CAD models and validate them against real-world manufacturability criteria.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, ensuring clarity in documentation and collaborative exchanges.

Nice To Haves

• Python scripting experience for CAD automation is highly preferred, though not required.
