Solidworks Job information

What is a Solidworks job?

SolidWorks jobs are positions that involve the use of SolidWorks, a popular 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software, to create, modify, and analyze models and drawings for engineering and manufacturing projects. Professionals in these roles may work as designers, engineers, drafters, or technicians in industries such as automotive, aerospace, product design, and manufacturing. Responsibilities often include developing detailed 3D models, producing technical drawings, collaborating with other teams, and ensuring designs meet specifications and standards.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in Solidworks roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals working in Solidworks often encounter challenges such as managing large assemblies, ensuring compatibility between different file formats, and optimizing designs for manufacturability. Staying organized with file management and regularly updating software can alleviate performance issues. Collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams helps resolve design constraints early, and ongoing training in advanced Solidworks features can further enhance efficiency and accuracy.

What is the difference between Solidworks Job vs Mechanical Drafter?

AspectSolidworks JobMechanical Drafter
Required CredentialsProficiency in Solidworks, often an engineering or technical degreeDrafting certification or technical diploma, familiarity with CAD software
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, engineering firms, manufacturing companiesEngineering departments, manufacturing plants, design studios
Employer & Industry UsageUsed across engineering, manufacturing, product designPrimarily in manufacturing, engineering, and construction sectors
Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding roles involving Solidworks designComparing drafting roles with Solidworks skills

Solidworks Jobs focus on designing and modeling products using Solidworks software, often requiring engineering knowledge. Mechanical Drafters create technical drawings, sometimes using Solidworks, but may also work with other CAD tools. Both roles are essential in product development and manufacturing, with Solidworks Jobs typically demanding more advanced CAD proficiency and engineering background.

Job description

R & D Engineer
Indianapolis, IN - Full Time - Hybrid
Productive Resources (www.productiveresources.com) is seeking a candidate to be part of our engineering team for our customer's facility in Indianapolis, IN. As a member of our team, the selected candidate will be a highly motivated, hands-on R&D Engineer to joining small, fast-moving motorsports development team focused on the design, development, testing, and fabrication of high-performance racing equipment. The successful candidate will be involved throughout the entire product development process-from benchmarking and 3D scanning, to CAD and reverse engineering, fabrication, testing, and design refinement. Because the team is small, this individual will take significant ownership of projects and must be comfortable working independently with minimal support. The ideal candidate is a go-getter and hands-on problem solver who can move seamlessly between SolidWorks, the shop floor, the test environment, and the racetrack.
This is a full-time position that is indefinite in duration with the opportunity of professional growth, and additional opportunities within our organization.
Duties:
  • Lead mechanical design and product development activities for racing helmet and motorsports applications.
  • Benchmark existing racing helmets and other competitive products using 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and CAD modeling to understand design, geometry, and performance characteristics.
  • Develop complex helmet geometries and compound surfaces using SolidWorks.
  • Create and maintain detailed 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and product documentation.
  • Provide engineering direction and support to drafting resources.
  • Take ownership of fabrication activities and build prototypes, fixtures, test articles, and product components as required.
  • Collaborate with the development team to move designs from initial concept through prototype, testing, refinement, and final implementation.
  • Support aerodynamic development by evaluating designs with an understanding of drag, airflow, and aerodynamic performance in racing environments.
  • Develop test plans and design experiments to evaluate product performance and material/geometry selections.
  • Support both laboratory and field testing, including aerodynamic testing and impact testing.
  • Analyze test results and use findings to drive design improvements and product development decisions.
  • Perform or support PEW analysis for material selection and component geometries.
  • Collaborate with other engineering resources on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), FEA, and other engineering analysis as appropriate.
  • Work closely with fabrication and testing activities to quickly iterate designs based on real-world performance.
  • Maintain engineering documentation, test results, CAD data, and development records.
  • Identify opportunities to improve product performance, manufacturability, durability, and safety.
  • Take ownership of projects and drive them forward with limited day-to-day supervision.

Requirements:
  • Demonstrated engineering capability through professional experience, hands-on development, motorsports experience, or equivalent technical background.
  • Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, particularly complex surface modeling and compound-curved geometry.
  • Experience with mechanical design and product development.
  • Ability to interpret engineering concepts and translate them into practical, manufacturable designs.
  • Hands-on fabrication and prototyping experience.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to work independently in a small-team environment with minimal support.
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple development activities simultaneously.
  • Willingness to spend significant time outside of the office performing fabrication, testing, and hands-on development work.
