CAD Modeler Position

We are seeking a highly skilled CAD Design Professional to develop detailed and accurate 2D/3D CAD models and drawings for sheet metal components, ensuring manufacturability, structural integrity, and compliance with standards.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of fabrication and welding techniques, weld joints, symbols, and sequencing, manufacturing limitations and tolerances.

The successful candidate will play a critical role in developing detailed designs that meet the needs of our customers and ensure high-quality products.

Key Responsibilities

• Interpret project briefs and customer drawings to develop manufacturable designs.
• Create accurate 2D and 3D CAD models using SolidWorks for base frames, acoustic canopies, electrical cabinets, and portable light towers.
• Ensure feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and design intent alignment.

• Apply strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication techniques including material types and gauges, bend allowances and K-factors, weld joint planning and laser-friendly nesting.
• Incorporate features that simplify assembly and improve quality.

• Define detailed dimensions, GD&T, and fit tolerances.
• Use industry-standard welding symbols for MIG, TIG, fillet, groove, and corner welds.
• Ensure proper weld sequences and access considerations for ease of fabrication.

• Coordinate with engineering, fabrication, and project management teams.
• Address feedback from fabrication and QA for continuous improvement.
• Contribute to design optimization and cost-saving solutions.

• Design sheet metal enclosures for electrical components with proper ventilation, cable routing provisions, safety clearances, and access points.
• Understand mechanical-electrical integration challenges.

• Conduct self-checks on all drawings to minimize rework.
• Participate in internal design reviews, DFM reviews, and compliance checks.
• Ensure all designs follow customer and ISO/industry standards.

• Maintain a clean and organized repository of all design files, BOMs, and change logs.
• Document design revisions clearly and follow version control protocols.
• Generate assembly instructions and exploded views for shop floor clarity.

• Stay updated on the latest SolidWorks features, add-ins, and industry tools.
• Suggest improvements in standard design practices and CAD automation.
• Attend webinars, technical expos, and training workshops as needed.
