Job Description

Job Description:

We are seeking a detail-oriented CAD Technician with robust experience in CAD drawing, tolerancing, and design for manufacturability (DFM). The ideal candidate will excel at creating precise CAD models and drawings that adhere to tight packaging requirements, complex shapes, and moving mechanisms. An understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes, material selection and properties, and geometric tolerancing is essential. Experience with electrical wiring and testing material properties like stiffness and friction is a plus.

You will work closely with a great team of engineers to build a Robot for home use. it will be extremely exciting and extremely challenging. We need help to create the necessary CAD design in order to prototype our Robot further. Experience with DFM and designing for Moving Parts / Mechanisms is highly important. Please see the key responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities:

CAD Drawing & Modeling:

• Develop detailed 2D and 3D CAD drawings for components, assemblies, and mechanisms.
• Ensure all designs meet required tolerances and incorporate geometric tolerances accurately.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM):

• Collaborate with design and engineering teams to optimize parts and assemblies for production.
• Incorporate assembly process considerations and material selection into CAD models.

Mechanisms and Complex Shapes:

• Create designs that address tight packaging constraints and complex geometries.
• Work on mechanisms and moving parts ensuring proper clearances and functionality.

Technical Documentation:

• Prepare detailed technical documentation and assembly instructions.
• Maintain revision control and documentation standards.

Testing & Analysis Support:

• Assist in testing friction, stiffness, wear, and other manufacturing parameters to validate design performance.
• Provide feedback and suggestions for improvements based on testing outcomes.

Required Qualifications:

• Proven experience in CAD drawing and 3D modeling (experience with [specific CAD software, e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or CATIA] is preferred).
• Strong understanding of mechanical tolerances and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Familiarity with assembly processes, materials, and DFM principles.
• Demonstrated ability to work with tight packaging constraints and design for complex shapes and mechanisms.
• Excellent attention to detail, with a strong focus on precision and quality.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background or experience as an electrical technician, with knowledge and hands-on experience in wiring and circuit integration.
• Experience utilizing preliminary FEM analysis modules in CAD software.
• Background or experience in working with plastic materials and assemblies.
• Experience with 3D printing technology.
• Exposure to testing methodologies for friction, stiffness, wear, and other material properties.
• Experience in a startup or fast-paced environment is a plus.
