1. Job Purpose
To design and develop high quality 2D plans and 3D models using computer-aided design software applications.
2. Primary Duties Performed
1. Create technical and detailed design drawings using CAD software applications with virtual models and plans to ensure precision to the smallest details
2. Develop design flows, create backup files to prevent data loss, review tools, and select specific software for design functionality
3. Produce designs that meet targets for feasibility, performance, costs, quality, safety, legislation and timing
4. Interact with the management / R&D Director, as necessary to obtain critical design information necessary to complete project within intended time frame
5. Create schematics, flow charts, and diagrams of design concepts and update and maintain product design files by coordinating filing and structured storage for easy retrieval of drawings
6. Assist in improving daily processes to ensure that the CAD systems meet customer requirements
7. Test new designs in computer simulations before building prototypes
8. Build prototypes by the 3D printer or CNC machines. Make improvements to the drawings based on prototype inspection.
9. Confirm the final drawings and send them to the supplier creating the mould, and communicate with the supplier for the technical topics.
