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?

Job description

SolidWorks Mechanical Designer – Electrical Equipment Manufacturing

Location: Mira Loma, CA – Onsite
Target Market: Ontario / Riverside / Inland Empire
Pay Range: $32.00–$45.00 per hour
Employment Type: Full-Time


Opportunity

Legacy Career Solutions is partnering with a rapidly growing electrical equipment manufacturer in the Inland Empire that designs and manufactures custom power-distribution equipment for commercial and industrial applications.


We are seeking an experienced SolidWorks Mechanical Designer / Drafter to produce detailed 2D and 3D models, assembly drawings, and fabrication prints supporting custom electrical equipment manufacturing.

This position works directly with engineering and manufacturing personnel and requires someone who can translate designs and specifications into accurate, production-ready drawings in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Create, modify, and maintain detailed SolidWorks drawings and 3D models for custom electrical equipment assemblies.
  • Develop and update mechanical and electrical blueprints, including component placement, bus configurations, and related layouts.
  • Translate conceptual designs and specifications into detailed fabrication drawings.
  • Revise and maintain drawing documentation throughout the product lifecycle.
  • Prepare Bills of Materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, and supporting documentation.
  • Communicate design changes to production and quality teams to ensure accurate manufacturing.
  • Organize drawing files within company design and data-management systems.
  • Support technical drawing requirements associated with product certification.
  • Coordinate with vendors and fabrication partners regarding part fitment and manufacturability.
  • Manage multiple drawing projects and changing production priorities.


Required Qualifications

  • Strong SolidWorks proficiency, including both 2D and 3D modeling.
  • 2+ years of experience as a Drafter, Mechanical Designer, Design Technician, or similar position in a mechanical or electrical engineering environment.
  • Experience working with sheet metal, switchgear, or related fabricated products.
  • Experience with bending and forming materials.
  • Ability to interpret and develop mechanical drawings, schematics, and related technical documentation.
  • Excellent attention to detail and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with engineering and manufacturing teams.
  • Ability to work onsite in Jurupa Valley, California.


Highly Preferred

  • Switchgear, switchboard, panelboard, electrical-equipment, or control-panel manufacturing experience
  • Sheet-metal design
  • Bus bar layout
  • Enclosure fabrication
  • Electrical panel layouts and power-distribution equipment
  • UL 891 familiarity
  • Knowledge of UL, NEMA, and NEC standards applicable to electrical equipment
  • AutoCAD Electrical or similar software
  • PDM/Product Data Management systems
  • 3D visualization/rendering tools


An Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Mechanical Design, or a related technical field is preferred; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.


What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate is more than someone who can simply operate SolidWorks. We are seeking someone who understands how drawings become manufactured products and can create accurate designs that fabrication and production teams can actually build.


Legacy Career Solutions is an equal opportunity staffing and recruiting firm. Qualified candidates will be considered without regard to legally protected characteristics.
