What is an Onshape job?

An Onshape job typically involves working with Onshape, a cloud-based CAD (Computer-Aided Design) platform used for product design and engineering. Professionals in this role may include mechanical engineers, designers, or CAD specialists who create, modify, and manage 3D models and assemblies. They may also collaborate with teams using Onshape’s cloud-based tools for real-time design, version control, and project management. Knowledge of parametric modeling, CAD principles, and product development processes is usually required.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Onshape position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Onshape CAD Designer, you need strong 3D modeling skills, experience in engineering design principles, and a solid background in mechanical or product design. Familiarity with the Onshape platform, cloud-based CAD tools, version control systems, and, in some cases, relevant certifications such as Certified Onshape Associate are highly beneficial. Excellent communication, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate within multidisciplinary teams set top candidates apart. These competencies are crucial for efficiently designing innovative products and effectively iterating in fast-paced engineering environments.

What types of projects and team collaborations can I expect as an Onshape CAD Designer?

As an Onshape CAD Designer, you will typically work on projects ranging from conceptual product design to detailed mechanical assemblies, often collaborating closely with engineers, product managers, and manufacturing teams. The cloud-based nature of Onshape facilitates real-time collaboration, meaning you'll frequently share designs, incorporate team feedback, and resolve technical challenges using collaborative tools. Your daily responsibilities might include creating and revising 3D models, preparing technical drawings, and ensuring designs meet project requirements and timelines. Because Onshape is often used in agile environments, you should be prepared for rapid iteration and ongoing teamwork. This role provides exposure to a variety of industries and opportunities to expand your skills as you take on increasingly complex design responsibilities.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Design and improve components and systems based on existing products (“like design”)
  • Develop and release mechanical designs using Onshape
  • Drive improvements in performance, manufacturability, and reliability
  • Support testing, root cause analysis, and design iteration
  • Prototype and evaluate alternative design approaches
  • Contribute to system integration (mechanisms, motion systems, assemblies)
  • Develop and refine assembly and test processes
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and field teams
  • Build, assemble, and validate prototypes and hardware hands-on

  • 8+ years of mechanical design experience
  • Strong proficiency with Onshape (required)
  • Experience across key domains: machined parts, sheet metal, plastics, mechanisms, power transmission, and thermal systems
  • Experience with testing, debugging, and iterative design
  • Strong understanding of DFM and practical manufacturing considerations
  • Hands-on capability, including building and validating designs independently
  • Experience with electromechanical systems and system integration
  • Ability to adapt and improve existing designs
  • Comfortable working onsite in a collaborative environment

Nice to have:

  • Experience with large weldments and structural design (FEA a plus)
  • Experience working around rotating machinery
  • Background in reliability, failure analysis, or assembly/test process development

 Engagement Details

  • Type: Contract / Temporary
  • Location: Onsite (no remote)
  • Duration: 6 month +
  • Start: Immediate
  • Growth Opportunity: This role has the potential to convert to a full-time position based on performance and business needs

Impact of the Role

This role is critical to driving near-term design execution, product improvements, and reliability gains. You will directly influence the performance and success of systems deployed in real-world environments.
