Responsibilities
3D Modeling & Assembly Build – Create accurate 3D parts and assemblies from 2D layouts, prints, and engineer-provided specs; model components with practical clearances and fit considerations to support downstream engineering
Drafting & Drawing Support – Produce or update 2D drawings as needed to support engineering documentation, manufacturing, and internal review (including basic callouts and layout support)
Engineer Partnership & Iteration – Work directly with design and controls engineers to iterate models quickly, incorporate feedback, and support final tolerance application and design intent verification
Legacy Model Updates – Pull from historical CAD library to revise existing models, adjust geometry strategically, and modernize assemblies while preserving intent and standardization
From-Scratch Design Support – Build new models and assemblies from detailed engineering handoffs, maintaining clean modeling practices and structure for future reuse and edits
Complex Assembly Management – Support complicated, multi-component assemblies (often 100+ parts) with strong discipline around constraints, naming, BOM structure, and file organization
Cross-Functional / International Coordination – Collaborate with engineering partners across departments and geographies to align CAD outputs, ensure documentation clarity, and support global engineering workflows
CAD Standards & Data Hygiene – Maintain organized files, revision discipline, and modeling standards to ensure engineering can reliably reuse, modify, and tolerance models over time
Manufacturability Awareness – Apply practical shop-floor thinking—clearances, stack-ups, envelope constraints, and basic tolerance awareness—so models reflect real-world build considerations before final engineering tolerancing
Continuous Improvement Support – Help improve internal CAD workflows, templates, libraries, and modeling conventions to reduce rework and accelerate engineering throughput
Qualification
Required
5+ years of professional CAD drafting/modeling experience supporting engineers (design, controls, manufacturing, or tooling)
Proficiency in Autodesk CAD tools (or strong equivalent experience with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into Autodesk environments)
Strong ability to translate 2D layouts/prints into clean 3D models and assemblies with disciplined structure and constraints
Experience building and maintaining multi-part assemblies, including modeling best practices that enable iterative design updates
Strong attention to detail and file discipline: organization, naming conventions, revision control, and clean modeling methodology
Comfortable working in a collaborative workflow where engineers drive design intent and you drive modeling quality, speed, and accuracy
Clear communicator who can coordinate across teams, clarify missing inputs, and keep work moving without constant oversight
Preferred
Experience supporting industrial automation, tooling, or equipment design (especially complex equipment with tight packaging constraints)
Experience with 100+ part assemblies, structured CAD libraries, and reusable modular model systems
Familiarity with manufacturing realities: clearances, tolerance stack-up basics, fit-up, envelope constraints, and assembly sequencing considerations
Experience collaborating with international engineering teams and supporting shared CAD standards across locations
AAS or BS in Drafting/Design, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, or related technical discipline (or equivalent hands-on experience)
