Developing process flow diagrams and layout drawings to help visualize systems and processes.
Producing technical images and renderings for manuals, data sheets, and customer-facing materials.
Preparing detailed components and production drawings directly from 3D models, ensuring they are ready
for fabrication or machining.
Collaborating with the wider team to review designs, optimize manufacturability, and ensure everything
meets practical, safety, and quality standards.
Managing and maintaining drawing files and revision control to keep project documentation organized and
up to date.

Requirements

You have experience using Autodesk Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, or similar 3D CAD software.
You have a solid understanding of sheet metal design, including bending, folding, and fabrication principles.

You have a good grasp of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.
You’re detail-oriented, organized, and take pride in producing accurate, well-presented work.
You communicate clearly and enjoy being part of a small, friendly team that values collaboration and initiative.
Experience designing machinery or process equipment is a bonus, but we’re open to all backgrounds if you have the right attitude and skills.
