Computer Aided Design Designer

As a CAD Designer specializing in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software, your primary responsibility will be to create and modify 3D CAD models and assemblies. You will be tasked with producing detailed 2D drawings and technical documentation from these 3D models, including part drawings, assembly drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs). Collaborating closely with engineers and other stakeholders, you will play a vital role in transforming design specifications into functional and manufacturable designs. Utilizing design software, you will conduct simulations such as stress testing, motion analysis, and kinematic analysis to ensure optimal product performance. Participation in design review sessions will be essential, where your input and ideas for improving existing designs will be highly valued. It will also be your responsibility to ensure that all designs adhere to company standards and industry regulations. Additionally, you will be expected to modify and update existing CAD files for product revisions or improvements, while managing and organizing CAD files following version control practices. Your support will be crucial during the prototyping, testing, and production phases by creating detailed design drawings and specifications. Troubleshooting issues during the manufacturing process and offering design solutions when required will also be part of your role. To qualify for this position, you should hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related field, or possess equivalent work experience. Proven expertise as a CAD Designer or CAD Drafter, with proficiency in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar design software, is required. Strong knowledge of engineering principles, materials, and manufacturing processes is essential, along with experience in 3D modeling and simulations for mechanical parts and assemblies. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and excellent communication skills are necessary for success in this role. Familiarity with CAD software version control, file management, and product lifecycle management (PLM) tools will be advantageous. Preferred skills include certifications in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar software, experience with CAM software, and knowledge of industry standards such as ISO and ASTM. In summary, as a SolidWorks designer, you will play a critical role in product development, ensuring that designs are functional, manufacturable, and of high quality from initial concept to final production. Collaboration with cross-functional teams, quality control through design reviews, adherence to industry standards, participation in prototyping and testing, and continuous learning to stay updated with the latest trends and best practices are key aspects of this role.,
