CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer in भारत

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer based in India. As a CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer, you will transform technical drawings, sketches, measurements, and existing components into accurate, manufacturable 3D models for additive manufacturing. You will play a key role in helping businesses reproduce obsolete, customized, and hard-to-source parts through innovative 3D printing solutions. Using industry-standard CAD software, you will design new components, optimize existing geometries, and prepare files for different manufacturing processes and materials. You will also evaluate part functionality, tolerances, structural considerations, and printability to ensure designs meet technical and production requirements. Working closely with engineering teams and manufacturing partners, you will contribute to developing efficient, repeatable workflows for digital part reconstruction and production. This fully remote opportunity offers the chance to apply your mechanical design expertise in a fast-moving environment at the intersection of CAD engineering, AI-powered platforms, and advanced manufacturing. Accountabilities: - Create accurate 3D CAD models from 2D engineering drawings, sketches, reference images, physical measurements, and customer specifications. - Design, modify, and optimize existing CAD models to improve functionality, fit, strength, manufacturability, and printability. - Prepare mechanical components for additive manufacturing processes, including FDM, SLS, SLA, MJF, and metal 3D printing. - Convert, repair, clean, and validate 3D model files across formats such as STEP, STL, IGES, 3MF, DXF, and DWG. - Review component geometry to identify potential manufacturing and printing issues, including thin walls, unsupported features, overhangs, tolerance conflicts, warping risks, and assembly-fit problems.

- Develop technical drawings with appropriate dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and manufacturing notes when required. - Collaborate with engineering teams and manufacturing partners to recommend design modifications based on material properties, production processes, and supplier capabilities. - Establish repeatable workflows for reconstructing legacy components, reproducing replacement parts, and converting existing designs into production-ready 3D-printed components. - Perform reverse engineering of mechanical parts using available drawings, measurements, reference models, or scanned data. - Create alternative design versions optimized for different materials, printing technologies, performance requirements, and production constraints. - Incorporate mounting holes, ribs, fillets, threads, fastening features, and assembly modifications into existing models as needed. - Organize CAD files, maintain revision histories, and document design changes to ensure traceability and consistency throughout the engineering workflow. - Evaluate design trade-offs involving structural integrity, material selection, manufacturing feasibility, and print quality. - Work efficiently in a dynamic environment, managing multiple design requests while maintaining accuracy, quality, and delivery timelines. Requirements: - Strong hands-on experience with professional CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo, or Autodesk Inventor. - Ability to create clean, accurate, parametric 3D models suitable for engineering applications and manufacturing. - Practical experience designing or modifying mechanical components such as brackets, housings, fixtures, mounts, adapters, covers, jigs, and replacement parts. - Solid understanding of mechanical design fundamentals, including dimensional tolerances, assembly fits, wall thickness, fillets, threads, ribs, and fastening methods.
