Job description

Description
TFX is looking for a highly skilled CAD designer/engineer to join our team. This role is for someone who is truly strong in CAD-not just basic part modeling, but advanced surface modeling, complex geometry, and designing with real-world manufacturing in mind.
We build a wide range of custom projects, so the right person needs to be extremely capable in CAD and comfortable working through challenging design problems. This is a hands-on, fast-moving environment where designs need to look right, function correctly, and actually be buildable.
What We're Looking For:
  • Very strong CAD skills, especially surface modeling and complex part design
  • Experience with multiple CAD platforms and the ability to learn new ones quickly
  • Strong understanding of how parts, assemblies, and products are actually manufactured and assembled
  • Ability to turn rough ideas, sketches, or concepts into clean, accurate, production-ready models
  • Good design judgment around fit, finish, tolerances, and practicality
  • Comfortable working on a wide variety of projects rather than the same thing every day
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Able to work quickly without sacrificing quality

Responsibilities
• Strong proficiency in one or more professional CAD programs
• Advanced experience with surface modeling, complex geometry, and detailed part/assembly design
• Solid understanding of real-world manufacturing methods, materials, and assembly constraints
• Ability to create accurate, organized, and production-ready CAD data
• Experience working from rough concepts, reference images, sketches, or incomplete information
• Strong grasp of fitment, tolerances, clearances, and practical design execution
• Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong problem-solving ability and close attention to detail
• Good communication skills and ability to work closely with fabrication and leadership teams
• Self-motivated, efficient, and able to work with minimal hand-holding
Qualifications
• Create high-quality CAD models, assemblies, and design packages for a wide variety of projects
• Develop complex surface models and production-ready geometry based on project needs
• Translate concepts, sketches, and verbal direction into clean, buildable designs
• Review designs for manufacturability, fit, function, and overall practicality
• Work closely with the shop and project teams to ensure designs are realistic and executable
• Revise and improve designs as projects develop, including solving issues that come up during build
• Prepare files, drawings, and related CAD data needed for manufacturing and internal use
• Maintain organized and accurate CAD files, assemblies, and revision control
• Help identify smarter, faster, and better ways to design parts and assemblies
• Support a wide range of custom projects that may vary significantly in type, scale, and complexity
