• 3D part and assembly design/modification.
• Parametric modeling.
• Siemens NX, CATIA V5/V6 and/or comparable 3D CAD platforms.
• GD&T interpretation and application.
• 2D drawing and 3D CAD data interpretation.
• Interference and clearance checks.
• Vehicle coordinate systems / automotive packaging.
• Redesign of mounting and connection features.
• Tolerance stack-ups.
• CAD data management.
• Data export including STEP, IGES, PKG, etc.
• Understanding of manufacturability and tooling implications.
• Ability to evaluate design against performance, quality, cost, and customer requirements.

• Teamcenter experience preferred.

Ideal Candidate Profile:
Senior CAD Designer / Senior Product Designer / Mechanical Designer with approximately 10-20 years of hands-on automotive/product design experience.
