CAD Specialist

Join to apply for the CAD Specialist role at Lynn Rodens.

Work alongside a team of designers, drafters, and engineers to create and control mechanical designs for boilers and similar industrial steam equipment, spearheading company‑wide integration of 3D models. Utilize 2D and 3D CAD software plus advanced tools such as PDM, configurations, and rendering tools. Apply knowledge of machine design and manufacturing processes to ensure products are properly designed and suitable for manufacturing.

Manage documentation on drawings and within the ERP system. Participate in the formal engineering change order process to evaluate and implement design changes. Act as a representative of product designs providing support to other departments by interpreting designs, creating customer‑specific drawings, resolving BOM issues, and similar. The focus of this role will evolve over time. Following successful migration from 2D to 3D designs, this position will have the opportunity to contribute more directly to design, engineering, and product development projects.

• Create 3D models in Solidworks PDM from 2D drawings, ensuring accuracy and alignment with original designs.
• Organize long‑term project tracking and documentation, staying on track without supervision.
• Maintain and update product documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), manuals, and installation instructions.
• Communicate clearly and collaborate with other team members and departments to ensure designs meet all applicable requirements.
• Support the review, evaluation, and execution of Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) in a timely manner, including participation in drawing checking procedures.
• Support the creation of drawings and models for custom product designs as requested by customers, sales team members, and other engineers.
• Apply your knowledge and experience to ensure that products are designed correctly and are suitable for manufacturing.
• Create and maintain engineering design standards and best practices as they pertain to 3D modeling.

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering.
• 3+ years of experience designing and drafting industrial products with exposure to steel construction, piping and ducting, combustion systems, fans and pumps, and electrical components.
• 2+ years of experience with product lifecycle management of industrial products including BOM management and ECO functions within PDM and ERP systems.
• Expert working knowledge of CAD design and drafting standards and software such as Solid Works and AutoCAD.
