1. Role Overview

The CAD Engineer is responsible for supporting the design, development, and manufacturing of composite parts and tooling. This role focuses on 2D/3D design, forming simulation, and tooling development to ensure product performance and manufacturability.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Design & Engineering
  • Develop 2D flat patterns for composite layups considering forming constraints
  • Convert 2D layouts into 3D forming patterns (spring-back, forming behavior)
  • Design thermal forming molds based on 3D CAD data
  • Create waterjet nesting programs to optimize material usage

• Simulation & Analysis
  • Perform FEA analysis (forming simulation, stress/strain evaluation)
  • Provide technical feedback to optimize customer designs
