WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

~ A creative and technically minded problem solver who can take a customer's idea or concept and turn it into a functional, manufacturable design from the ground up. Someone with strong 2D and 3D CAD design skills who can create detailed drawings, models, and layouts that meet customer and production requirements (SolidWorks & Draft site Program usage). A programmer and designer who can translate CAD designs into accurate machine programs while ensuring parts can be produced efficiently and accurately. Someone who thrives on soft design work and enjoys collaborating with customers, engineers, and internal teams to develop solutions when a project starts with an idea rather than a finished drawing. A detail-oriented individual who can review designs, dimensions, materials, and specifications to identify potential issues before they reach the production floor. A hands-on team player who is comfortable spending approximately 80% of their time in an office environment and 20% on the shop floor , gaining firsthand understanding of how designs translate into production. A proactive problem solver who can troubleshoot design, programming, and manufacturing challenges and make adjustments to improve quality, efficiency, and manufacturability. A strong communicator who can clearly understand customer needs and work closely with Production, Engineering, and other departments to bring designs from concept to completion. Someone who takes ownership of their work and is committed to accuracy, continuous improvement, and delivering designs that meet both customer expectations and production goals.
