We are seeking a hands-on engineer to improve CAD systems, engineering workflows, and product-development processes across R&D and manufacturing operations. This position requires practical engineering experience and a strong understanding of how products progress from initial concept through design, development, and production.

Experience with eCAD is highly preferred. Candidates with strong CAD/PLM integration experience and knowledge of Solid Works, Creo, NX, or similar platforms are encouraged to apply.

• Partner with engineering, R&D, manufacturing, and production teams to understand existing workflows and operational challenges.
• Evaluate CAD processes, tools, and system integrations to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Recommend and implement practical solutions that simplify engineering workflows and improve productivity.
• Support product-development activities from initial concept and design through manufacturing release and production.
• Identify process gaps, inefficiencies, and user-experience issues across engineering systems.
• Challenge established processes and promote continuous improvement.
• Translate complex engineering problems and stakeholder requirements into actionable solutions.
• Improve collaboration and information flow between CAD, PLM, R&D, engineering, and manufacturing teams.
• Support CAD/PLM integration, workflow optimization, and engineering-system usability initiatives.
• Operate effectively in changing environments with incomplete or evolving requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline, or equivalent hands‑on engineering experience.
• Professional experience in an engineering, manufacturing, production, or R&D environment.
• Hands‑on experience with Solid Works, Creo, NX, eCAD, or comparable CAD platforms.
• Experience improving CAD workflows, CAD integrations, or engineering processes.
• Strong understanding of the complete product-development lifecycle, from concept through production.
• Ability to analyze complex technical issues and develop practical process improvements.
• Demonstrated experience identifying inefficiencies and challenging existing ways of working.
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

• Hands‑on eCAD experience.
• Experience using Windchill.
• Knowledge of PLM systems and CAD/PLM integrations.
• Experience supporting engineering teams in manufacturing or production environments.
• Background in continuous improvement, process optimization, or operational excellence.
• Experience collaborating across R&D, design engineering, manufacturing, and production functions.
