What does a CAD Design Automation Engineer do?

A CAD Design Automation Engineer develops and implements automated workflows and tools to streamline the process of creating and modifying computer-aided design (CAD) models. They work closely with design, engineering, and manufacturing teams to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and ensure consistency in product development. Their responsibilities often include scripting, customizing CAD software, integrating systems, and troubleshooting automation processes to enhance productivity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a CAD Design Automation Engineer?

To thrive as a CAD Design Automation Engineer, you need strong expertise in computer-aided design (CAD), scripting/programming (such as Python or TCL), and a background in engineering or computer science. Familiarity with EDA tools like Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor Graphics, as well as experience with automation frameworks, is typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and effective communication help you collaborate with design teams and implement efficient workflows. These skills are essential to automate complex design processes, increase productivity, and ensure accurate and reliable results in electronic or mechanical design environments.

What are the typical collaboration dynamics between a CAD Design Automation Engineer and other engineering teams?

As a CAD Design Automation Engineer, you’ll frequently collaborate with hardware designers, verification engineers, and software developers to streamline design processes and ensure tool compatibility. You’ll often work in cross-functional teams, gathering requirements, troubleshooting automation scripts, and supporting the integration of new CAD tools. Effective communication and a proactive approach to problem-solving are essential, as your automation solutions will directly impact design efficiency and project timelines.

What is the difference between Cad Design Automation Engineer vs Mechanical Design Engineer?

AspectCad Design Automation EngineerMechanical Design Engineer
Primary FocusDeveloping automation tools and scripts for CAD software to streamline design processesCreating and analyzing mechanical components and systems
Required SkillsCAD software scripting, programming, automation techniquesMechanical engineering principles, CAD modeling, analysis
Work EnvironmentDesign departments, automation teams, engineering firmsProduct development, manufacturing, R&D
CertificationsCAD software certifications, engineering degreesMechanical engineering degrees, PE licenses

The main difference is that Cad Design Automation Engineers focus on creating automation solutions within CAD tools to improve efficiency, while Mechanical Design Engineers concentrate on designing and analyzing mechanical parts and systems. Both roles require strong CAD skills and engineering knowledge but serve different aspects of the product development process.

Job description

About the Role:
As a CAD Manager, you will work on a variety of high-impact initiatives spanning team leadership, technology modernization, and new capability development in support of Wabash's engineering and business growth objectives. Activities include modernizing CAD processes and modeling standards, leading the transition from Cideon to SAP ECTR, establishing data governance standards, and building net-new capabilities in product configuration and ecommerce 3D visualization. This is a newly created role with a clear transformation mandate -- you will set direction and lead a team while also being hands-on in the tools when it matters. This position will collaborate cross-functionally with product engineering, manufacturing, IT, sales, and ecommerce teams to ensure CAD data and automation capabilities are aligned with and actively enabling broader business goals.
Your Responsibilities:
  • Lead the CAD team which supports production, customer facing visualization initiatives, and ecommerce
  • Act as the primary CAD authority for internal stakeholders including product engineering, manufacturing, ecommerce, sales, and IT
  • Represent the CAD function in design reviews, program planning sessions, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Shape the future structure of the team -- identify capability gaps, define new roles, and build a hiring roadmap aligned to the expanded mission
  • Support the engineering data management roadmap -- serve as the CAD team's representative in data system planning and rollout, and drive adoption of data management standards within the team
  • Lead the transition and implementation of SAP ECTR as the primary CAD stakeholder -- coordinating with IT and implementation partners to ensure CAD workflows and data standards are effectively represented throughout the rollout
  • Define and enforce SOLIDWORKS modeling standards, templates, and best-practice guidelines that align with ECTR data structures and downstream SAP ERP integration
  • Evaluate, select, and lead implementation of a product configuration platform -- DriveWorks or equivalent -- to automate the generation of configured product models and drawings across Wabash product lines
  • Collaborate with engineering, sales, and product management to capture configuration logic, option rules, and BOM structures for the configurator build-out
  • Partner with the ecommerce team to develop and maintain 3D product assets that support the online parts catalog and visual product experiences
  • Support sales and customer engagement initiatives with configured 3D build-outs and visual representations of customer-specified trailer configurations
  • Manage and develop a team including an onsite CAD supervisor, an offshore CAD supervisor, and CAD designers
  • Establish KPIs and throughput metrics for the team; manage workload prioritization across production CAD and special projects
  • Effectively coordinate offshore resources, including workflow management, quality review, and cross-time-zone communication
  • Other duties as assigned

Let's Talk About Your Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or a closely related discipline
  • 5+ years of professional experience in a CAD-intensive engineering environment, with at least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory capacity
  • Expert-level proficiency in SOLIDWORKS, including part, assembly, and drawing environments
  • Hands-on experience with SAP-integrated CAD/document management environments -- Cideon, SAP ECTR, or equivalent SAP engineering document management systems
  • Strong understanding of engineering data management principles: revision control, BOM structure, document workflows, and ERP integration
  • Proven ability to lead teams through organizational and technology change
  • Excellent communication skills; able to translate technical CAD and data concepts for engineering, IT, sales, and leadership stakeholders
  • Organized, self-directed, and effective in a role where strategy and process are still being defined
  • Direct experience with SAP ECTR implementation, configuration, or administration preferred
  • Hands-on experience with DriveWorks or another product configurator / design automation platform preferred
  • Familiarity with ecommerce 3D data needs -- lightweight formats, interactive visualization tools, or illustrated parts catalog authoring (e.g., SOLIDWORKS Composer) a plus
  • Background in transportation, trailer manufacturing, heavy equipment, or similarly complex, custom configured-product industries a plus

Leadership Attributes:
At Wabash, we pride ourselves on being empowering, and there are some things we feel very strongly about:
  • Embrace Diversity and Inclusion -- Solicit and respect the input of others, celebrate differences, and strive for transparency and inclusiveness
  • Seek to Listen -- Actively listen to reach the best solution and make the strongest decisions
  • Always Learn -- Strive to improve; do not quit or settle for the status quo
  • Be Authentic -- Demonstrate honesty, incredible energy, and grit in everything you do
  • Win Together -- Collaborate, seek alignment, and excel at cross-group communication to success as one team and One Wabash
