Product Development CAD Technician

MooreCo Inc•Temple, TX

About The Position

MooreCo's Product Development Group is seeking a hands-on Product Development CAD Technician to support product development engineers and managers with physical and digital work. The role combines shop-floor support, testing, prototyping, product inspection, documentation, and CAD work in SolidWorks. It is suited to someone with practical SolidWorks experience who enjoys varied technical work and contributing within an experienced product development team. SolidWorks experience is required; candidates need not be experts, and on-the-job training will be provided by product development engineers and managers. The position involves frequently switching between computer-based and hands-on activities, including CAD, documentation, product inspection, prototype assembly, testing, and general technical support. On-site work is preferred because of the hands-on nature of the role. Remote candidates may be considered based on experience, with responsibilities adjusted toward CAD, documentation, and technical support.

Requirements

Practical experience using SolidWorks to create and modify parts, assemblies, and drawings; ability to navigate existing models and make basic dimensional or feature changes without step-by-step software instruction.
Ability to read and interpret dimensioned engineering drawings.
Comfort using common measurement and inspection tools such as tape measures, calipers, and squares.
Working knowledge of common shop and hand tools, with the ability to build, modify, and disassemble samples and prototypes.
Strong attention to detail and organized documentation habits.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively with a product development team that may include remote engineering and management support.
Working familiarity with Microsoft 365 tools, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint.
Ability to safely lift, carry, and reposition product samples, prototype components, cartons, and tools, with assistance or material-handling equipment when appropriate.
Ability to perform the physical tasks required for prototype assembly, inspection, testing, and sample handling.

Nice To Haves

Experience with SolidWorks PDM.
Experience in manufacturing, product development, furniture, metal fabrication, plastics, or other physical-product environments.
Familiarity with prototyping, sample building, or shop/lab environments.
Photography and technical documentation experience.

Responsibilities

Assist product development engineers and managers with product testing, including test setup, execution, and documentation of results.
Build, modify, and disassemble prototypes and product samples using common hand and shop tools.

Inspect products for quality and conformance to drawings, specifications, or approved samples.
Receive shipments of samples and production parts.
Photograph and document samples and prototypes.
Log, label, and organize samples and prototypes while maintaining accurate records.
Create CAD parts and assemblies from established designs, sketches, dimensions, or direction from the product development team.
Modify and maintain existing parts, assemblies, configurations, and drawings.
Create and edit dimensioned drawings for vendors and dimensional inspection.
Read dimensioned prints and verify physical parts against them for accuracy.
Maintain CAD files, revisions, and related documentation within SolidWorks PDM.
Create line art from 3D models.
