It offers opportunities for specialization, skill development, and employment in various industries, with a typical work environment that includes office settings and project deadlines. Success often depends on technical proficiency, attention to detail, and ongoing learning of new tools and standards.

What jobs can you do with computer-aided design?

What can I do with an Associates in CAD?

A Computer Aided Design (CAD) Associate degree prepares individuals for roles such as CAD technician or drafter, where they create technical drawings and plans for engineering, architecture, or manufacturing projects. Graduates can work in design firms, construction companies, or manufacturing environments, often using CAD software like AutoCAD or SolidWorks.

Job description

About Star:

At Star, we specialize in the custom design and manufacturing of physical experiences. Our clients' needs range from exhibits, retail and corporate environments, and branded events. Wherever a brand lives, Star is there to make it shine.


We are seeking a skilled and driven CAD Drafter with experience in tradeshow, millwork, cabinetry, or related fabrication environments. In this fast-paced role, you'll produce detailed drawings and technical documentation for tradeshow exhibit booths, corporate interiors, marketing event structures, and retail rollout programs.


No two projects are the same-this position is ideal for someone who enjoys creative problem solving and thinking on their feet.



The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:


  • Pivotal in translating design concepts into detailed technical drawings and 3D models using CAD software.
  • Collaborate closely with Project Engineers, Design Engineers, and builders, to ensure accurate communication of design intent.
  • Manage design files to prevent conflicts, prioritize tasks for project deadlines, and provide technical support during manufacturing, ensuring designs meet quality standards.
  • Use problem-solving skills to address design challenges and optimizing designs for functionality and cost-effectiveness.
  • Complete AutoCAD drawings (2D and 3D, technical, graphic, CNC, and setup) for assigned projects in a timely manner
  • Actively participate in internal project meetings, including project margin and variance reviews, new business production meetings and project debriefs
  • Complete daily reporting responsibilities
  • The ideal candidate for this job will possess a collaborative spirit, a commitment to exceeding client expectations, fanatical attention to detail, and an exceptional ability to manage assigned tasks and timelines.


Qualifications:


  • 2-year degree in drafting / design.
  • 2+ years of experience in CAD drafting (experience in retail, tradeshow or cabinetry strongly preferred)
  • Software proficiency (AutoCAD, Rhino, Autodesk Inventor)


STAR offers a competitive salary and full benefits in an engaging and collaborative work environment. Qualified candidates committed to making a strong impact in a thriving organization are encouraged to submit a resume online to STAR.


STAR is an equal opportunity employer.
