We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented CAD Designer with strong proficiency in SolidWorks to join our product development team. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in mechanical design, 3D modeling, engineering drawings, and DFM principles. This role requires a creative yet technically sound professional who can transform concepts into production-ready designs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure all components meet performance, quality, and manufacturability standards.

Responsibilities:

• Create precise 3D models and assemblies using SolidWorks

• Generate comprehensive 2D engineering drawings with proper GD&T

• Work closely with engineers and product developers to translate concepts into manufacturable designs

• Apply DFM/DFA best practices to optimize parts for injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, and other manufacturing methods (we are open to educate you along the way)

• Revise existing designs for performance, cost, and manufacturing improvements

• Maintain organized part and assembly libraries using PDM systems

• Conduct design reviews, tolerance stack-ups, and BOM generation

• Communicate with suppliers to ensure design intent is preserved through prototyping and production

Requirements:

• Proficiency in SolidWorks (3+ years experience preferred)

• Strong understanding of mechanical design and drafting standards

• Experience with DFM for plastics, metals, and assembly processes

• Familiarity with tolerancing, materials selection, and manufacturing constraints

• Ability to interpret and produce detailed technical documentation

• Strong communication, collaboration, and organizational skills

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field preferred
