• Translate sketches, concepts, engineering requirements, scan data, and design references into accurate digital surface models.
• Develop and refine surface geometry to achieve required aesthetic, functional, dimensional, and manufacturing standards.
• Create and maintain detailed CAD models, engineering drawings, assemblies, and technical documentation.
• Perform surface analysis, curvature analysis, continuity checks, and geometric validation.
• Apply appropriate surface modeling techniques to achieve smooth transitions, accurate profiles, and high-quality geometry.
• Collaborate with Industrial Designers, Product Designers, Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, and other technical teams.
• Support reverse engineering and surface reconstruction activities using 3D scan data where required.
• Prepare surface models for tooling, prototyping, manufacturing, simulation, and production processes.
• Ensure models meet GD&T, tolerance, dimensional, and engineering requirements.
• Participate in design reviews and provide technical recommendations regarding surface quality and manufacturability.
• Modify and optimize existing surface models based on engineering changes, testing results, customer feedback, or manufacturing requirements.
• Support prototype development, design validation, and product improvement initiatives.
• Maintain organized CAD files, model libraries, revisions, and technical documentation.
• Identify opportunities to improve modeling workflows, design accuracy, efficiency, and CAD standards.
• Stay current with advanced surface modeling techniques, CAD technologies, and industry best practices.

• Proven experience in surface modeling, CAD design, product design, automotive design, aerospace design, or a related engineering field.
• Strong experience with advanced surface modeling and freeform geometry.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as CATIA, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, Solid Works, Autodesk Alias, or similar platforms.
• Strong understanding of Class-A surface development, continuity, curvature, and surface quality.
• Experience with solid modeling, wireframe modeling, assemblies, and engineering drawings is preferred.
• Knowledge of GD&T, dimensional tolerancing, design standards, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience working with scan data, point clouds, reverse engineering, or surface reconstruction is an advantage.
• Strong understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Excellent attention to detail and strong spatial visualization skills.
• Strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving abilities.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with engineering, design, manufacturing, and quality teams.
• Strong understanding of product development and engineering change processes.
• Ability to manage multiple design projects and meet technical deadlines.
• Bachelor's degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Design, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field is preferred.
• Relevant CAD, engineering, or professional design certifications are an advantage.

• Opportunity to work on complex 3D surface modeling and advanced product design projects.
• Exposure to advanced CAD technologies, product development, engineering, manufacturing, and digital design.
• Opportunity to contribute to innovative products from concept through production.
• Career progression into Senior Surface Modeling Specialist, Lead Surface Designer, Class-A Surface Modeler, Senior CAD Designer, Product Design Engineer, Surface Design Manager, or Design Engineering Manager roles.
• A technology-driven, creative, and engineering-focused work environment.
• Access to advanced CAD tools, technical training, mentorship, and professional development opportunities.
• Competitive compensation, performance incentives, and comprehensive benefits package.
