About the RoleWe are seeking a skilled Jewelry CAD Modeler to work closely with our lead designer in transforming approved jewelry concepts and sketches into precise, production-ready 3D CAD models. This position focuses on technical execution rather than creative design, ensuring all models are accurate, manufacturable, and ready for rendering, prototyping, and production.
Responsibilities- Create detailed 3D CAD models from designer sketches, renderings, and specifications.
- Build production-ready files for rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and custom jewelry pieces.
- Ensure proper stone placement, settings, metal thicknesses, and structural integrity.
- Prepare files for 3D printing, casting, and manufacturing.
- Make revisions based on designer feedback and production requirements.
- Collaborate with the design and production teams to resolve technical challenges.
- Maintain organized CAD files and project documentation.
- Meet project deadlines while maintaining high levels of accuracy and quality.
Qualifications- Proficiency in Rhino, MatrixGold, or similar jewelry CAD software.
- Experience creating production-ready jewelry models.
- Strong understanding of jewelry manufacturing processes, including casting and stone setting.
- Ability to interpret sketches, technical drawings, and design specifications.
- Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
- Strong communication and time-management abilities.
Preferred Experience- Previous experience in custom jewelry production.
- Knowledge of gemstone setting techniques and manufacturing tolerances.
- Experience preparing files for 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
Success in This RoleThe ideal candidate is highly technical, detail-oriented, and capable of accurately translating a designer's vision into manufacturable CAD models while minimizing production revisions and maintaining design integrity.
