CAD ENGINEER

• Develop detailed 3D solid and surface models alongside technical drawing packages using industry-standard CAD software platforms.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GDT) per ASME Y14.5 standards to ensure proper component fit, form, and function.
• Perform 1D and 2D tolerance stack-up analyses to validate assembly integrity and mitigate manufacturing risks.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to transform conceptual designs into scalable, production-ready mechanical components.
• Generate and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), and product configuration structures within PDM/PLM systems.
• Incorporate Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) guidelines across sheet metal, injection molded, and machined designs.
• Assist in prototype fabrication by collaborating with machine shops, rapid prototyping labs, and external vendors during design verification.
• Conduct structured peer reviews of CAD geometry, drawing packages, and revision control histories to ensure drawing accuracy.
• Update, optimize, and digitize legacy CAD files and engineering documentation based on field feedback and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Perform basic structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and kinematic checks to validate preliminary design feasibility.
• Standardize CAD drawing templates, part libraries, and component symbol databases to improve design pipeline efficiency.
• Participate in root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and propose mechanical design modifications to resolve identified issues.

Qualifications, Experience, Skills

• Bachelor s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 0 3 years of experience in CAD design, drafting, or product development (internship experience is also considered).
• Proficiency in at least one major CAD tool such as SolidWorks, PTC Creo, CATIA, or Autodesk Inventor.
• Understanding of engineering drawings, GDT, and mechanical design fundamentals.
• Basic knowledge of manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, or 3D printing.
• Good problem-solving ability, attention to detail, and willingness to learn in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

Nice to Have

• Exposure to FEA or simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, etc.).
• Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems such as Windchill, Teamcenter, or SolidWorks PDM.
• Experience working on battery systems, drones, robotics, or consumer hardware products.
