Parts Designer information

What does a parts designer do?

A Parts Designer is responsible for creating detailed designs and specifications for mechanical or electronic parts used in products or machinery. They use computer-aided design (CAD) software to develop drawings, models, and prototypes, ensuring that each part meets functional, safety, and manufacturing requirements. Parts Designers often collaborate with engineers, production teams, and suppliers to refine designs and address any technical challenges. Their work is crucial in industries like automotive, aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a parts designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Parts Designer, you need strong proficiency in mechanical design, 3D modeling, and engineering principles, typically supported by a degree in mechanical engineering or a related field. Experience with CAD software such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD, and familiarity with manufacturing processes and industry standards, are crucial. Attention to detail, creativity, and effective communication skills help you collaborate with cross-functional teams and innovate solutions. These skills ensure parts are designed efficiently, meet quality standards, and support seamless production workflows.

How does a parts designer typically collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams during a project?

Parts Designers work closely with both engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure that their designs are both technically feasible and manufacturable. They often participate in design reviews, share detailed CAD models, and incorporate feedback from engineers regarding performance and safety requirements. Additionally, Parts Designers address manufacturability concerns by consulting with production teams to optimize designs for cost-effective fabrication and assembly. This collaborative approach helps prevent issues during prototyping and production, leading to smoother project execution.

What is the difference between Parts Designer vs Mechanical Drafter?

AspectParts DesignerMechanical Drafter
CredentialsTypically requires a diploma or degree in mechanical design or engineeringUsually holds a diploma or certificate in drafting or CAD technology
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, manufacturing plants, or engineering firmsArchitectural or engineering drafting departments, manufacturing settings
Industry UsageUsed across manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectorsCommonly employed in architecture, engineering, and manufacturing industries
Job FocusCreating detailed parts and component designs, often using CAD softwarePreparing technical drawings and schematics based on specifications

Parts Designers focus on developing detailed component designs and specifications, often requiring advanced CAD skills and engineering knowledge. Mechanical Drafters primarily prepare technical drawings and schematics based on engineers' concepts. While both roles involve CAD work, Parts Designers are more involved in the design process, whereas Mechanical Drafters focus on documentation and drafting tasks.

Job description

This position requires activities that are subject to US Export Control Laws and require US Citizenship or Green Card Holder.

As a Product Designer, you will play a key role in the evolution of Paperless Parts, helping us build innovative new products as we aspire to build the best technology platform in manufacturing. You can think in systems, prototype in real code, and partner deeply with engineering, product, and marketing to translate ambiguous customer problems into intuitive, production-ready solutions.

What You'll Do
  • Lead design execution across key areas of the product by triangulating customer workflows, technical capabilities, and product strategy into intuitive, production-ready experiences.
  • Prototype at multiple levels, from high-fidelity mockups to real front-end implementations that enable validation with customers and inform engineering direction.
  • Strengthen collaboration between Design and Engineering by acting as a partner who improves speed, quality, and shared understanding throughout the build process.
  • Design with intention for AI and data-driven features: partner with Product and Engineering to evolve how automation, intelligence, and insights appear within the product, balancing power, clarity, and trust.
  • Participate in user discovery along with Product to learn directly from job shops, manufacturers, and buyers to ensure both new and existing solutions solve real workflow challenges.
  • Collaborate and work closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams to deliver high quality work, ensuring customers are successful in solving problems around the delivered features.
  • Partner with Marketing on content marketing design: create graphics, illustrations, and visual assets for blog posts, website, case studies, tradeshow events, email campaigns, and social content.
What We're Looking For
  • 4+ years' experience in Product Design, Design Engineering, or Design Technology roles
  • A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped work, systems thinking, and technical depth
  • Curious, driven problem-solver
  • Strong communication and facilitation skills
  • Comfort working in or alongside modern front-end frameworks (React, design systems, prototyping in code, etc.)
  • Proven experience in one or more of the following:
  • Understanding of modern application architectures
  • B2B or B2C SaaS with a metrics-driven methodology
  • Design systems and component libraries
  • Content, brand, or event/tradeshow design
  • Experience designing user-facing AI or data-driven workflows (LLMs, automation, or intelligent assistance) is a plus; deep ML expertise is not required
  • Experience designing for marketing surfaces (web, brand, and campaign design) preferred but not required
  • Manufacturing industry experience preferred but not required
