What does a 3d mechanical designer do?

A 3D Mechanical Designer is responsible for creating detailed three-dimensional models and drawings of mechanical components and systems using specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software. They work closely with engineers and other stakeholders to transform concepts and specifications into accurate digital representations that can be used for manufacturing, testing, and assembly. Their work is essential for ensuring that products function properly, meet safety standards, and can be produced efficiently.

How does a 3d mechanical designer typically collaborate with engineers and other departments during a project?

3D Mechanical Designers work closely with engineers, project managers, and manufacturing teams to ensure that their designs are both functional and manufacturable. They frequently participate in design reviews, provide technical drawings and 3D models, and incorporate feedback from engineering and production teams. Collaboration often involves using CAD software to make iterative changes and resolve design challenges, ensuring that all aspects of the project align with technical requirements and deadlines. Effective communication and teamwork are essential, as designers must translate conceptual ideas into detailed, production-ready models.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a 3d mechanical designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a 3D Mechanical Designer, you need a strong background in mechanical engineering principles, 3D modeling, and technical drawing, typically supported by a relevant degree or diploma. Proficiency with CAD software such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or CATIA, along with familiarity with PLM systems, is essential. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication help you collaborate with engineering teams and translate ideas into manufacturable designs. These skills ensure accurate, innovative, and manufacturable products that meet client and industry requirements.

Job description

Mechanical Designer
Location: San Fernando Valley, CA
Pay: $52.00–$62.00 per hour, depending on experience

This position is ideal for someone with strong SolidWorks skills who can take designs from concept through detailed manufacturing documentation.

What You’ll Do
  • Create detailed 2D and 3D mechanical designs using SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software.
  • Develop assemblies, layouts, components, and production-ready drawings.
  • Prepare and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
  • Update and revise existing product designs and drawings.
  • Apply GD&T and manufacturing tolerances to detailed drawings.
  • Support prototype builds, testing, and design modifications.
  • Work directly with Engineering and Manufacturing to resolve design and production issues.
  • Design with manufacturability, quality, and cost in mind.
  • Assist with product improvements and cost-reduction projects.
  • Maintain accurate revisions and engineering documentation.
Requirements
  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Design, Drafting, Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong proficiency with SolidWorks or comparable 3D CAD software.
  • Experience creating detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings.
  • Understanding of mechanical assemblies and manufacturing processes.
  • Familiarity with GD&T.
  • Experience working with machining, sheet metal, or other manufactured components preferred.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple design assignments.
  • Comfortable working closely with engineers, machinists, and production personnel.
This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on mechanical designer who enjoys turning engineering concepts into accurate, manufacturable designs.
