CAD Engineer / 3D Design Engineer

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.

Requirements

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.
