CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer (Remote)

Job Title: CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer Job Location : Remote Employment Type : Full Time About the Client: Our client is building a marketplace and AI platform for additive manufacturing. They help companies convert legacy, custom, and hard-to-source parts into 3D-printable parts, then match those parts with the right suppliers, materials, and manufacturing processes. They are looking for a strong CAD Engineer in India who can help create, modify, reverse-engineer, and prepare parts for 3D printing. Responsibilities: - Create 3D CAD models from 2D drawings, sketches, reference images, measurements, or customer specifications. - Modify existing CAD files to improve fit, strength, manufacturability, or printability. - Prepare parts for 3D printing across processes such as FDM, SLS, SLA, MJF, and metal additive manufacturing. - Convert and clean files between formats such as STEP, STL, IGES, 3MF, DXF, and DWG. -Review part geometry for common 3D printing issues such as thin walls, overhangs, unsupported features, tolerances, warping risk, and assembly fit. - Create simple technical drawings with dimensions, tolerances, materials, and notes when needed. - Work with the Accio3D team to recommend design changes based on material, process, and supplier capabilities. - Help build a repeatable workflow for converting legacy and replacement parts into manufacturable 3D-printed parts. - Maintain organized files, revision history, and documentation for each part. Required Skills: - Strong experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo, or Autodesk Inventor. - Ability to create clean, parametric, manufacturable models. - Experience modifying mechanical parts, brackets, housings, fixtures, mounts, adapters, covers, jigs, or replacement components. - Understanding of tolerances, assemblies, fits, wall thickness, fillets, threads, ribs, and fastening methods. - Familiarity with 3D printing design rules and additive manufacturing constraints. - Ability to work from incomplete or messy inputs and still produce practical CAD output. - Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate design tradeoffs clearly. - Comfortable working quickly in a startup environment. Nice to Have: - Experience designing parts specifically for SLS, MJF, FDM, SLA, or metal 3D printing. - Experience with reverse engineering, 3D scanning, or scan-to-CAD workflows. - Knowledge of automotive, aerospace, industrial, defense, or manufacturing parts. - Experience with GD&T. - Ability to estimate material/process suitability for a part. - Experience preparing files for vendors, suppliers, or manufacturing partners. Example Projects: - Recreate an obsolete automotive bracket from a 2D drawing. - Modify a plastic cover so it can be printed in nylon using SLS or MJF. - Redesign a part to reduce support material and improve strength. - Convert a customer’s STEP file into a clean printable STL/3MF. - Create multiple versions of a part for different materials or print processes. - Add mounting holes, ribs, fillets, tolerance changes, or assembly features to an existing model.
