MCAD Manager

Veev•Hayward, CA

8d•$145,000 - $180,000

About The Position

About Veev Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev’s prefabricated closed-panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on-site while delivering a more sustainable and higher-quality final product than traditional construction. As a new subsidiary of Lennar, Veev leverages the strength and scale of its parent company while maintaining the speed and disruptive approach of its roots as a Silicon Valley-based startup. Veev has developed a vertically integrated approach that involves multidisciplinary collaboration across real estate, design, development, engineering, manufacturing, and construction. This role is critical to Veev’s mission of scaling a fully integrated digital product and manufacturing platform. In this role, you will lead development of the MCAD systems, standards, and workflows that connect engineering design to manufacturing execution. Your work will directly impact Veev’s ability to scale production, improve design reuse, and ensure reliable product data across the digital thread. The Role As the Manager, MCAD, you will lead the development and standardization of Veev’s mechanical design systems, ensuring that MCAD outputs are structured, scalable, and aligned with manufacturing and production requirements. You will define and drive MCAD strategy, including parametric modeling approaches, data structures, and workflows that enable efficient design, reuse, and downstream production integration. This role owns the integrity and performance of MCAD systems across the organization, ensuring design outputs are accurate, consistent, and directly support fabrication, assembly, and downstream digital workflows. You will work closely with PLM, BIM, Software, and Engineering Production teams to ensure alignment across the digital thread and enable scalable product execution. This role is also responsible for evaluating and evolving Veev’s MCAD platform strategy, including assessing emerging tools (e.g., Onshape) and their impact on design workflows, data management, and production integration.

Requirements

Deep expertise in SolidWorks and MCAD systems, including advanced parametric modeling, large assemblies, and PDM (SolidWorks PDM or similar).
