A CAD Checker specializes in reviewing and verifying technical drawings, 3D models, and associated engineering documentation to ensure accuracy, completeness, manufacturability, and compliance with company standards. Serving as a critical quality gate within the design process, the CAD Checker evaluates drawings and models for dimensional accuracy, proper application of engineering standards, adherence to drafting requirements, and consistency between design intent and documented requirements.

They work closely with operators, designers, engineers, and manufacturing personnel to identify and resolve errors, inconsistencies, omissions, and potential manufacturing concerns before release to production, while also providing constructive feedback to improve overall drawing quality and maintain a high standard of technical documentation throughout the organization.

• Review 2D drawings, 3D CAD models, bills of materials (BOMs), and related engineering documentation for accuracy, completeness, consistency, and compliance with company standards.
• Verify dimensional accuracy, geometric tolerancing, drawing annotations, notes, and specifications to ensure designs can be manufactured and inspected as intended.
• Ensure consistency between 3D models, 2D drawings, assemblies, part lists, and supporting documentation.
• Identify and document drawing errors, omissions, conflicts, and areas requiring clarification or correction.
• Evaluate designs for manufacturability, assembly feasibility, maintainability, and compliance with established engineering practices.
