SolidWorks Specialist

Responsibilities

• Create fully parametric 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies based on detailed written briefs.
• Build robust feature trees with precise dimensions, constraints, and clearly defined design intent.
• Edit and update existing parametric models to satisfy revised technical and engineering requirements.
• Document CAD model modifications and associated design decisions clearly.
• Audit models for dimensional accuracy, tolerance application, feature-tree quality, and manufacturability.
• Apply GD&T principles and appropriate tolerances to mechanical designs.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability principles across injection molding, sheet metal, CNC machining, casting, and forging workflows.
• Translate engineering requirements and design intent into structured, high-quality CAD data suitable for AI training.
• Perform assembly-level modeling and manage relationships between mechanical components.
• Provide detailed written reports and technical feedback to project coordinators and other contributors.
• Contribute professional mechanical design expertise to improve AI model training and evaluation.

Skills
