CAD Designer

About the role

Design mechanical components, jigs, fixtures, and automated machinery systems based on project requirements. Develop comprehensive 3D models and 2D fabrication drawings using CAD software. Apply correct welding symbols, machining tolerances, and surface finish requirements to all technical drawings to ensure precision. Generate and prepare accurate Bills of Materials (BOM) for every project to guide procurement and assembly. Work with other Engineers, Production, Purchasing and Sales to establish and evaluate design concepts for automated machines and products. Support the Sales Team through technical visitations to client sites to assess project feasibility and requirements. Deliver technical presentations of project proposals to clients, ensuring complex automation concepts are clearly explained.
