SolidWorks Mechanical Designer

SolidWorks Mechanical Designer High Voltage SwitchgearIndianapolis, INContract-to-Hire | Full-Time | OnsiteUp to $32/hourMonday–FridayIf you're good with SolidWorks and enjoy seeing your designs turn into something real, this is worth a conversation.We're looking for an experienced SolidWorks Mechanical Designer to join a stable, collaborative engineering and manufacturing team supporting High Voltage Switchgear and Circuit Breaker products in Indianapolis.This is not a short-term project. It's a Contract-to-Hire opportunity designed for someone who wants to come in, learn the operation, contribute to the team and potentially build something long-term.What You'll Be DoingYou'll work closely with engineering and manufacturing to develop, update and maintain mechanical designs used in high-voltage electrical equipment.Your day-to-day work will include:Creating and modifying detailed 3D models and mechanical drawings in SolidWorksTranslating engineering concepts and specifications into accurate, manufacturable designsReading and interpreting technical drawings, specifications and engineering documentationCreating and maintaining multi-level indented bills of materialsMaking design revisions and accurately incorporating engineering changesWorking with engineers and manufacturing personnel to resolve design and production issuesMaintaining organized and accurate design documentationSupporting projects from initial design through manufacturingWorking within established engineering standards while identifying opportunities to improve designs and processesUsing SolidWorks PDM or similar document/data-management tools when applicableWhat We're Looking ForWe're interested in someone who knows SolidWorks beyond the basics and can comfortably work in a real engineering and manufacturing environment.The strongest candidates will bring:Solid hands-on SolidWorks experienceCertified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) certificationExperience developing and modifying mechanical designs and drawingsAbility to read and understand detailed engineering drawingsExperience creating and working with multi-level bills of materialsStrong attention to dimensions, tolerances, revisions and design detailsAn understanding of how designs ultimately translate to manufacturingGood communication skills and the ability to work closely with engineering and production teamsSolidWorks PDM experience is highly desirableSwitchgear, circuit breaker, electrical equipment, power distribution or similar industrial manufacturing experience would be especially valuableWhy This One Is InterestingThere are plenty of jobs where you'll spend your day making revisions without ever feeling particularly connected to the finished product.This isn't one of them.You'll be supporting equipment used in high-voltage power applications and working alongside the people responsible for actually building it. Your designs matter, accuracy matters, and you'll have the opportunity to see how your work moves from the screen to the manufacturing floor.It's also Contract-to-Hire.That gives both sides an opportunity to make sure it's the right long-term fit rather than making that decision based entirely on a few interviews.Let's TalkYou don't have to be actively looking for a job to have a conversation.If you're a strong SolidWorks professional and this sounds interesting, we'd like to hear about what you've been doing and where you'd like to go next.Interested?
