What is a 3D SolidWorks?

A 3D SolidWorks job involves using SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) software, to create, modify, and analyze 3D models and assemblies. Professionals in this role work in industries like manufacturing, engineering, and product design to develop detailed technical drawings and prototypes. Tasks may include designing mechanical components, performing simulations, and ensuring models meet industry standards. Strong knowledge of SolidWorks tools, drafting techniques, and material properties is essential.

What are the typical daily tasks of a 3D SolidWorks professional?

As a 3D SolidWorks professional, your day-to-day tasks may include creating and modifying detailed 3D models, generating technical drawings, collaborating with engineers and project managers, and reviewing design specifications to ensure accuracy. You might also be involved in creating assemblies, running simulations for stress or motion analysis, and preparing files for manufacturing. Communication with other team members, such as engineers, drafters, and quality control specialists, is a routine part of the job to ensure designs meet project requirements and industry standards. This hands-on, collaborative approach helps turn innovative concepts into production-ready solutions.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for a 3D SolidWorks role?

To succeed in a 3D SolidWorks position, you need strong skills in computer-aided design (CAD), mechanical drafting, and a relevant engineering background, often supported by a degree or certification in mechanical engineering or a related field. Mastery of SolidWorks software, as well as familiarity with Product Data Management (PDM) systems and industry-standard file formats, are typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are key soft skills that enhance performance in this role. These competencies are crucial for producing accurate designs, working efficiently with engineering teams, and ensuring seamless product development from concept to manufacture.

Job description

Symbrium, Inc. is seeking a Mechanical Designer with strong SolidWorks skills to join our Machine Design Group.


This position is for someone who is very good at taking an engineer's concept, hand sketch, marked-up drawing, or verbal direction and turning it into a well-developed 3D SolidWorks model and machine assembly.


You do not need to be the person developing the underlying engineering concept. We need someone who can work closely with our engineers, understand what they are trying to accomplish, and rapidly turn those ideas into clean, practical CAD models.


Our work involves custom machinery, automation, tooling, fixtures, machine components, and mechanical systems. Much of what we build is one-of-a-kind, so this is not repetitive catalog-product drafting.


What You Will Do

  • Create 3D SolidWorks models from engineering sketches, layouts, concepts, and existing designs
  • Develop machine assemblies, subassemblies, weldments, fabricated structures, machined components, brackets, guards, fixtures, and related mechanical components
  • Work directly with engineers as designs evolve from rough concepts into manufacturable machines
  • Modify and improve existing SolidWorks models and assemblies
  • Maintain proper assembly relationships, part structure, configurations, and design intent
  • Incorporate purchased components such as bearings, motors, gearboxes, cylinders, actuators, linear guides, sensors, and other machine components
  • Help identify interference, packaging, access, assembly, and manufacturability issues during the modeling process
  • Support the detailing team by producing clear, organized models from which manufacturing drawings can be generated
  • Make design changes quickly as engineering and manufacturing requirements evolve
  • Maintain organized CAD files and revision control


What We Are Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks
  • Demonstrated ability to build accurate 3D parts and mechanical assemblies
  • Ability to take relatively rough engineering input and turn it into a complete CAD model
  • Good mechanical aptitude and an understanding of how machinery is actually built and assembled
  • Familiarity with machined parts, fabricated components, weldments, bearings, shafts, fasteners, motors, gearboxes, and similar machine elements
  • Ability to work collaboratively with engineers and other designers
  • Ability to manage multiple design changes without losing configuration or revision control
  • Strong attention to detail


Preferred Experience

Experience with any of the following is helpful:

  • Custom machine design
  • Automation equipment
  • Machine tools
  • Industrial equipment
  • Weldments and fabricated structures
  • Machined components
  • Fixtures and tooling
  • SolidWorks PDM or similar document-control systems


The Person We Want

We are looking for a CAD designer who likes building machines on the screen.

You should be comfortable when an engineer walks up with a sketch and says, "This is what I'm thinking," and then working with that engineer to turn the idea into a practical SolidWorks assembly.


If your strength is translating mechanical ideas into accurate, well-organized 3D models, we would like to talk with you.

Company Description

Symbrium is often referred to by our customers as "an engineer's engineering company." We deliver next generation process verification, specialized manufacturing equipment, and enterprise quality management software to some of the top engineering and manufacturing organizations around the world.
