What is a Solidworks modeler?

A Solidworks Modeler is a professional who uses SolidWorks, a 3D CAD software, to create and modify detailed models, assemblies, and drawings for product design and manufacturing. They interpret technical drawings, collaborate with engineers, and ensure designs meet industry standards. Their work is essential in industries like mechanical engineering, aerospace, automotive, and consumer products.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a Solidworks modeler?

A Solidworks Modeler spends most of the day creating, modifying, and optimizing 3D models and technical drawings based on project specifications and engineering input. They often collaborate closely with engineers, project managers, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are feasible and align with production processes. Daily tasks may also include revising models based on feedback, maintaining documentation, and assisting in design reviews to troubleshoot potential issues. This role requires strong attention to accuracy and detail, as the models directly influence the success of the final product.

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

A Solidworks Modeler typically needs a strong background in mechanical design, proficiency with 3D modeling, and an associate or bachelor's degree in engineering, drafting, or a related field. Expertise with SolidWorks software, familiarity with CAD standards, and certifications like Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) are highly valued. Attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and clear communication are important soft skills for collaborating with engineers and clients. These skills ensure that models are accurate, manufacturable, and meet project requirements effectively and efficiently.

Key responsibilities

  • Create 3D SolidWorks models from engineering sketches, layouts, concepts, and existing designs

  • Develop machine assemblies, subassemblies, weldments, fabricated structures, machined components, brackets, guards, fixtures, and related mechanical components

  • Modify and improve existing SolidWorks models and assemblies


Job description

Symbrium, Inc. is seeking a Mechanical Designer with strong SolidWorks skills to join our Machine Design Group.


This position is for someone who is very good at taking an engineer's concept, hand sketch, marked-up drawing, or verbal direction and turning it into a well-developed 3D SolidWorks model and machine assembly.


You do not need to be the person developing the underlying engineering concept. We need someone who can work closely with our engineers, understand what they are trying to accomplish, and rapidly turn those ideas into clean, practical CAD models.


Our work involves custom machinery, automation, tooling, fixtures, machine components, and mechanical systems. Much of what we build is one-of-a-kind, so this is not repetitive catalog-product drafting.


What You Will Do

  • Create 3D SolidWorks models from engineering sketches, layouts, concepts, and existing designs
  • Develop machine assemblies, subassemblies, weldments, fabricated structures, machined components, brackets, guards, fixtures, and related mechanical components
  • Work directly with engineers as designs evolve from rough concepts into manufacturable machines
  • Modify and improve existing SolidWorks models and assemblies
  • Maintain proper assembly relationships, part structure, configurations, and design intent
  • Incorporate purchased components such as bearings, motors, gearboxes, cylinders, actuators, linear guides, sensors, and other machine components
  • Help identify interference, packaging, access, assembly, and manufacturability issues during the modeling process
  • Support the detailing team by producing clear, organized models from which manufacturing drawings can be generated
  • Make design changes quickly as engineering and manufacturing requirements evolve
  • Maintain organized CAD files and revision control


What We Are Looking For

  • Strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks
  • Demonstrated ability to build accurate 3D parts and mechanical assemblies
  • Ability to take relatively rough engineering input and turn it into a complete CAD model
  • Good mechanical aptitude and an understanding of how machinery is actually built and assembled
  • Familiarity with machined parts, fabricated components, weldments, bearings, shafts, fasteners, motors, gearboxes, and similar machine elements
  • Ability to work collaboratively with engineers and other designers
  • Ability to manage multiple design changes without losing configuration or revision control
  • Strong attention to detail


Preferred Experience

Experience with any of the following is helpful:

  • Custom machine design
  • Automation equipment
  • Machine tools
  • Industrial equipment
  • Weldments and fabricated structures
  • Machined components
  • Fixtures and tooling
  • SolidWorks PDM or similar document-control systems


The Person We Want

We are looking for a CAD designer who likes building machines on the screen.

You should be comfortable when an engineer walks up with a sketch and says, "This is what I'm thinking," and then working with that engineer to turn the idea into a practical SolidWorks assembly.


If your strength is translating mechanical ideas into accurate, well-organized 3D models, we would like to talk with you.

Company Description

Symbrium is often referred to by our customers as "an engineer's engineering company." We deliver next generation process verification, specialized manufacturing equipment, and enterprise quality management software to some of the top engineering and manufacturing organizations around the world.
