Job Summary
Job Title: CAD Designer
Location: Fairport NY
Duration: 12 Months
Shift - Mon - Fri 8:00am - 5:00pm
Position Summary
We are seeking a CAD Designer to support the development of detailed part specification drawings and manufacturing tooling used in precision fabrication processes. This role will be responsible for creating and maintaining high-quality CAD models and drawings in Creo with a focus on tooling and fixtures for grinding polishing and metrology applications.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience in GD&T detailed manufacturing documentation and design for manufacturability across both traditional machining methods and FDM additive manufacturing. This individual will work closely with engineering manufacturing and metrology teams to ensure designs are accurate functional and optimized for production.
Day to Day Responsibilities
Create detailed 3D models part drawings assembly drawings and tooling documentation using Creo
Develop part specification drawings that clearly define geometry tolerances materials finishes and critical functional requirements
Design tooling fixtures and related hardware for grinding polishing and metrology operations
Apply GD&T principles in accordance with ASME Y14.5 to ensure drawings support manufacturing and inspection requirements
Collaborate with engineers machinists technicians and manufacturing personnel to develop practical manufacturable design solutions
Incorporate design for manufacturability (DFM) principles for both conventional manufacturing methods and FDM 3D printing
Support revision control and maintenance of released drawings and CAD models
Review and interpret engineering concepts sketches legacy drawings and existing hardware to create detailed and accurate documentation
Ensure drawings and models comply with internal standards quality requirements and configuration management practices
Support tolerance fits and interface considerations for precision components
Assist in the development of tooling concepts that improve handling repeatability throughput and measurement accuracy in optic production processes
Required Qualifications
Associate degree or technical certification in Drafting Mechanical Design Engineering Technology or a related field
3 years of professional drafting/CAD experience in precision mechanical or optomechanical environments
Proficiency in mechanical CAD software with strong preference for Creo
Strong working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
Experience creating detailed manufacturing drawings for machined fabricated and precision components
Ability to read and interpret mechanical and assembly drawings metric and imperial systems
Experience designing tooling fixtures or production support hardware
Demonstrated understanding of design for manufacturability for traditional manufacturing processes and FDM
Strong attention to detail and ability to produce accurate release-ready documentation
Preferred Qualifications
Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Technology Ceramic Engineering Glass Science Chemical Engineering or related
Experience with optic generation processes and/or optomechanical systems
Familiarity with FDM 3D printing
Experience with PLM/PDM systems such as Windchill Teamcenter or Agile
Knowledge of tolerance stack-up analysis materials and surface finishes
Experience supporting precision tooling or metrology-related designs
Additional Skills and Attributes
Strong communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional technical team environments
Ability to manage multiple design tasks and priorities effectively
Practical understanding of manufacturing processes and inspection requirements
Self-motivated organized and capable of working with minimal supervision
