CAD Design Engineer

As a CAD Designer, you will design, develop and build technical drawings, 3D models and blueprints for all the parts needed by the chassis department. You will closely work with the other members of the team in order to understand the requirements of their initial designs and turn them into accurate and detailed technical drawings in 2D and 3D models. These drawings are used at all stages of a project, from estimating cost and feasibility to creating the blueprints for manufacturing and instructions for installation. CAD Engineers are also responsible for the selection of materials and components required for the end product and, if necessary, carry out trials and experiments with them. The construction of the first prototypes is also one of the tasks of a CAD engineer.
