CAD Engineer – 3D Design Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Develop 3D CAD models from various sources, including 2D drawings, sketches, reference images, measurements, or customer requirements.

• Update existing CAD files to enhance their fit, strength, manufacturability, or printability.

• Prepare components for 3D printing using techniques such as FDM, SLS, SLA, MJF, and metal additive manufacturing.

• Convert and refine files across formats such as STEP, STL, IGES, 3MF, DXF, and DWG.

• Assess part geometry for common 3D printing challenges, including thin walls, overhangs, unsupported features, tolerances, warping potential, and assembly compatibility.

• Generate basic technical drawings that include dimensions, tolerances, materials, and notes as necessary.

• Collaborate with the Accio3D team to propose design modifications based on material, process, and supplier capabilities.

• Assist in establishing a repeatable process for transforming legacy and replacement parts into manufacturable 3D-printed components.

• Keep organized files, maintain revision history, and document details for each part.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive experience with CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo, or Autodesk Inventor.

• Proficiency in creating clean, parametric, and manufacturable models.

• Background in modifying mechanical components, including brackets, housings, fixtures, mounts, adapters, covers, jigs, or replacement parts.

• Familiarity with tolerances, assemblies, fits, wall thickness, fillets, threads, ribs, and fastening methods.

• Knowledge of 3D printing design principles and constraints associated with additive manufacturing.

• Capability to work from incomplete or messy inputs and still deliver practical CAD results.

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to effectively communicate design trade-offs.

• Comfort in working swiftly in a startup environment.

• Experience in designing parts specifically for SLS, MJF, FDM, SLA, or metal 3D printing.

• Background in reverse engineering, 3D scanning, or scan-to-CAD processes.

• Understanding of automotive, aerospace, industrial, defense, or manufacturing components.

• Familiarity with GD&T.

• Ability to evaluate material/process suitability for various parts.

• Experience in preparing files for vendors, suppliers, or manufacturing partners.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.

• Opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

• Collaborative and innovative work environment.

• Access to the latest technologies and tools in 3D printing.

• Flexible work schedule and remote work options.
