  • CAD Design & Optimization: Use SolidWorks to modify 3D models, update manufacturing prints, and optimize designs for efficient CNC machining.
  • Product Development: Execute reverse engineering projects, create new component designs from concept, and manage quality control processes (FAIR, PPAP).  
  • Project Management: Track customer accounts and monitor project timelines from quote to final delivery.
  • Technical Customer Support: Serve as the main point of contact for customers to clarify design intents, resolve print discrepancies, and update project statuses.  

Qualifications & Skills

  • Technical Software: Proficiency with SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD modeling software.
  • Print Reading: Understanding of blueprints, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and material types.
  • Machining Literacy: General knowledge of CNC milling/turning, setups, and tolerances.
  • Experience: 3+ years of practical machine shop experience doing estimating, quoting, or design.
  • Education: Associate or Bachelor's degree in a related discipline is beneficial.  
  • Soft Skills: Confident verbal and written communication skills to interface with customers and machinists.

What We Offer: 

  • Competitive pay with performance-based increases. 
  • A close-knit, small-business team culture. 
  • Clean, safe, comfortable, innovative, and well-maintained work environment.
  • Exposure to diverse, high-mix/low-volume manufacturing projects. 
  • Our Benefits Program Includes:
    • Employee 401(k) with Employer Contributions
    • Employee 401(k) Profit Sharing Options
    • Health and Dental Insurance
    • Life and AD&D Insurance
    • Paid Time Off (PTO)
