Junior CAD Engineer

Role Overview

We are looking for a Junior CAD Engineer who is excellent with SolidWorks and is comfortable supporting hands-on prototyping and early-stage R&D work.

Your primary role is CAD, drawings, DFM, and documentation — but you will also help our engineering team with practical R&D support, including assembling prototypes, testing mechanisms, and assisting with quick design iterations.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both screen work and building real hardware.

Key Responsibilities

1. Core CAD Work (Primary Responsibility)

• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and clean manufacturing-ready drawings.
• Prepare BOMs, GD&T, tolerance considerations, and revision-managed documentation.
• Work on plastics, sheet metal, machined parts, and mechanism-heavy designs.
• Support reverse engineering and conversion/redesign of existing products.
• Perform basic design checks and assist with manufacturability assessments.

2. Prototyping & Lab Support (Secondary Responsibility)

• Operate 3D printers, basic machining equipment, and fabrication tools (training provided).
• Assemble prototypes and test fits, motion, ergonomics, and structural aspects.
• Identify engineering issues in prototypes and provide inputs for CAD fixes.
• Organize prototype inventory, maintain test setups, and help prepare test reports.

3. R&D Support Tasks (As Needed, Guided)

• Assist engineers during early concept trials and feasibility tests.
• Help prepare simple rigs, jigs, and fixtures for experiments.
• Document results, measurements, and observations.
• Research components, materials, and vendors for ongoing projects.
• Support multi-disciplinary engineering efforts (mechanical, electromechanical, automation).

(You are not expected to independently own or lead R&D projects. You will work under the guidance of senior engineers.)

Skills & Qualifications

Required

• Strong command of SolidWorks.
• Clear understanding of mechanical fundamentals, assemblies, and tolerances.
• Ability to produce clean, accurate, manufacturable drawings.
• Comfortable working with hand tools and assembling prototypes.
• Fast learner with the ability to adapt to new engineering tasks.

Preferred

• Experience with 3D printing and basic shop equipment.
• Exposure to mechanisms and motion systems.
• Familiarity with DFM principles for plastics and CNC parts.
• Any experience working on medical devices or consumer hardware is a plus.

Traits We Value

• Practical mindset — enjoys both CAD and hands-on work.
• High ownership, low ego — willing to pick up tasks outside strict CAD boundaries.
• Not afraid to get their hands dirty.
• Curiosity and willingness to learn quickly.
• Strong documentation habits and clarity in communication.
• Ability to work on multiple projects simultaneously.

Why Work at Inspire Design

• Work directly with mechanical engineers on cutting-edge products (medical & consumer).
• Be part of full product cycles: concept → prototype → testing → manufacturing.
• Exposure to multi-disciplinary engineering and rapid prototyping labs.
• Fast-moving environment with high responsibility and strong growth potential.
• 1.20 – 1.80 LPA compensation, based on experience.
• 5 Day/week work culture.
