About the Role:

The CAD Designer III plays a critical role in the development and refinement of detailed technical drawings and models that support engineering and manufacturing processes. This position is responsible for creating precise and accurate computer-aided designs that meet project specifications and industry standards. The role involves collaborating closely with engineers, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure designs are feasible, cost-effective, and aligned with client requirements. The CAD Designer III will also contribute to improving design workflows and implementing best practices to enhance productivity and quality. Ultimately, this position ensures that all design outputs facilitate smooth production and successful project completion within the United States market.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in CAD design, preferably in mechanical, architectural, or manufacturing environments.
  • Proficiency in industry-standard CAD software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar platforms.
  • Strong understanding of technical drawing standards, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and blueprint reading.
  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to work independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Certification in CAD software (e.g., Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional, AutoCAD Certified Professional).
  • Experience with 3D modeling and simulation tools beyond basic CAD software.
  • Familiarity with product lifecycle management (PLM) systems and version control software.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials to enhance design practicality.
  • Experience working in a regulated industry such as aerospace, automotive, or construction.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and produce detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings and models based on engineering specifications and project requirements.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams to interpret technical data and translate it into accurate design documentation.
  • Review and revise existing CAD drawings to incorporate design changes, improvements, or corrections.
  • Ensure all designs comply with relevant codes, standards, and company quality guidelines.
  • Support project teams by providing technical input during design reviews and assisting in problem-solving design challenges.
  • Maintain organized documentation and version control for all CAD files and related project materials.
  • Train and mentor junior CAD designers to promote skill development and adherence to best practices.

Skills:

The required skills enable the CAD Designer III to create precise and compliant technical drawings that serve as the foundation for manufacturing and construction. Proficiency in CAD software is essential for daily tasks such as drafting, modeling, and revising designs efficiently. Strong communication and collaboration skills facilitate effective interaction with engineers and project teams to ensure design intent is accurately captured and implemented. Attention to detail and problem-solving abilities help identify and resolve design issues early in the process, reducing costly errors. Preferred skills, such as certification and knowledge of advanced tools, further enhance the designer’s capability to innovate and optimize design workflows, contributing to higher quality outcomes and project success.
