CAD Automation Lead 📍 Remote / Chennai / Bengaluru / Coimbatore | Full-time We’re looking for an experienced CAD Automation Lead (8–12 years) to drive automation initiatives in CAD environments for the automotive sector. You’ll lead the development of scripts, tools, and workflows that make design faster, smarter, and more efficient. What You’ll Do Build and maintain automation tools for CATIA, NX, and 3DExperience. Work with engineering teams to translate design needs into functional automation. Write clean, reliable code (VBA, EKL, C/C++, Python, JavaScript). Test, debug, and document tools to ensure smooth adoption. Lead projects using Agile methods and guide team members in tool usage. What You’ll Bring Strong programming + CAD API skills. Proven track record in CAD automation within automotive. Excellent problem-solving, collaboration, and leadership skills. Experience with AI in CAD automation is a plus. 🚀 Why Us? Cutting-edge projects, collaborative culture, and real impact on automotive design productivity.
CAD Automation Lead: We are building an engineering automation stack that elevates CAD capabilities, streamlines complex design logic, and advances next-generation workflows. As a CAD Automation Lead, you will drive the automation layer that enables faster decisions, cleaner models, and smarter engineering across multiple programs. What You will Do: Develop advanced CAD automation through scripts, plug-ins, macros, and rule-driven workflows that enhance modelling speed and consistency. Build Python-based engineering logic that defines components, assemblies, constraints, and decision rules for automated design generation. Implement intelligent CAD validation systems to assess geometry quality, feature integrity, clearances, compliance with engineering standards and regulatory compliance. Create reusable computational libraries for geometry extraction, spatial analysis, and high-performance data processing across design programs. Translate engineering requirements into scalable automation logic and continuously refine these systems to support evolving product needs. Enable generative and early-concept exploration by developing routing logic, assembly structures, and configurable design variants. Maintain a modern, well-documented codebase with proper version control, testing frameworks, and continuous improvement practices. Accelerate engineering workflows by embedding automation seamlessly into daily design operations for multiple teams. What You Bring: Around 5 years of deep, hands-on experience in CAD automation or customization. Strong command of at least one CAD API (VBA, EKL, CATScript, NXOpen, 3DX/CAA, or similar). Serious Python skills with object-oriented modelling, geometry handling, data processing. A sharp understanding of 3D assemblies, product structures, feature trees, and engineering constraints. The ability to break down complex engineering rules into simple, reliable automation logic. Curiosity, rigor, and the drive to raise the bar for how design gets done. Nice to Have: Experience with design-rule automation or CAD quality systems. Understanding of mechanical/thermal/routing systems and early-stage architecture flows. Comfort working in an iterative, product style development environment. Why This Role Matters: You are not just writing scripts. You are building the core automation backbone for a company that wants to redefine engineering execution. The tools you develop will accelerate design cycles, eliminate tedious work, and enable teams to operate at a different level of speed and precision. If you want to be at the heart of a tech-driven engineering organization this is your seat.
