Tech Transfer CAD Engineer
About The Position
As a CAD Engineer, you will be crucial in supporting and improving the products that are already powering major electrification programs. Rather than starting from a blank sheet of paper, you'll work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to optimize existing designs, improve manufacturability, and help bring innovative products to production at scale. In addition to design support, you will play a key role in transferring new and existing products from development into manufacturing. This includes partnering with Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Operations teams to ensure designs are production-ready, technical documentation is complete and accurate, and engineering changes are successfully implemented during product launches and process transfers.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, CAD Design, or a related technical field
- 2+ years of CAD design experience, preferably supporting electrical, electromechanical, automotive, or manufacturing-related products
- Experience managing large assemblies and complex 3D CAD models
- Strong problem-solving skills and a desire to continuously learn and improve
- Detail-oriented with excellent organizational skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment
- Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with engineering and manufacturing teams
Nice To Haves
- SolidWorks experience
- Experience supporting technology transfer, product transfer, NPI, or manufacturing ramp-up activities
- Experience supporting manufacturing or production environments
- Familiarity with engineering change management (ECN/ECO), product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, and release processes
- Startup experience
- Familiarity with wire harnesses, flexible circuits, battery systems, or electromechanical assemblies
Responsibilities
- Create and maintain 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings for wire harnesses, flexible circuits, and battery interconnect assemblies using established CAD standards and best practices
- Support technology transfer and new product introduction (NPI) activities by transitioning designs from development into manufacturing environments
- Modify and improve existing designs to support manufacturing, quality, and customer requirements
- Collaborate with Design, Process, Manufacturing, and Product Engineering teams to implement engineering changes and manufacturability improvements
- Add manufacturing features and design updates that improve production efficiency and product robustness
- Support the release and revision of engineering components, assemblies, and documentation
- Apply and maintain geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) practices in engineering drawings
- Manage and distribute CAD data to internal stakeholders and cross-functional teams
- Develop CAD best practices, standards, and training materials to support engineering consistency and efficiency
- Contribute design support and technical expertise to future product development initiatives
