About The Position

Voxel Innovations is seeking a skilled Mechanical CAD Designer / 3D Machine Design Specialist to contribute to the design, modeling, documentation, and enhancement of custom machines, tooling, fixtures, and fluid-handling systems for advanced manufacturing processes. This role primarily involves 3D modeling and design documentation using Onshape, collaborating with engineers, machinists, technicians, and vendors to translate complex concepts into practical, manufacturable, and serviceable systems. The goal is to improve the speed of machine construction, reduce errors, enhance reliability, and drive continuous improvement in equipment design.

Requirements

Strong experience creating detailed 3D CAD models of mechanical systems, machinery, tooling, automation equipment, or other complex assemblies.
High proficiency with parametric 3D CAD. Onshape experience is strongly preferred, and heavy Onshape use will be required.
Ability to create production-ready drawings for machined, fabricated, sheet metal, cast, and assembled components.
Working knowledge of GD&T and the ability to apply tolerances based on function, manufacturability, and inspection needs.
Practical understanding of how parts are machined, fabricated, inspected, assembled, and maintained.
Experience working with large assemblies, purchased components, part numbers, revisions, and bills of materials.
Strong attention to detail and a bias toward clean, organized, maintainable CAD models.
Ability to collaborate with engineers, machinists, technicians, and vendors in a fast-moving environment.
Mandatory: U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident with a valid I-551 card (green card). Work Visas are not acceptable. Employment eligibility will be verified.

Nice To Haves

Engineering, mechanical design, industrial design, or manufacturing education is helpful but not required. Demonstrated skill and relevant experience matter most.
Submittal of a cover letter describing why you are interested in working at Voxel and our mission.

Responsibilities

Create and maintain detailed 3D CAD models of machines, tooling, fixtures, and fluid-handling systems using Onshape.
Develop complex mechanical assemblies using custom-designed parts and off-the-shelf components.
Create production-ready drawings with appropriate dimensions, tolerances, materials, finishes, and manufacturing notes.
Work with design engineers to turn concepts, sketches, and layouts into detailed models and drawing packages.
Participate in design reviews and provide practical feedback on manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, cost, and reliability.
Manage CAD structure, configurations, revisions, releases, and bills of materials for large assemblies.
Communicate with vendors to source components, resolve fabrication questions, and support production.
Support hands-on assembly, measurement, troubleshooting, or testing when design feedback is needed.
Help improve Voxel’s CAD standards, drawing practices, design libraries, and machine design workflows.
