Product Development CAD Technician

Job Title: Product Development CAD Technician 

Location: On-site preferred due to the hands-on nature of the role. Remote candidates may be considered based on experience, with responsibilities adjusted toward CAD, documentation, and technical support

Reports To: Product Development Manager

Position Summary
MooreCo's Product Development Group is seeking a hands-on Product Development CAD Technician to support our product development engineers and managers across both physical and digital work. This role blends shop-floor support, testing, prototyping, product inspection, documentation, and CAD work in SolidWorks. It is a strong fit for someone with practical SolidWorks experience who enjoys varied technical work and wants to contribute within an experienced product development team.

SolidWorks experience is required. We are not looking to train from the ground up, but candidates do not need to be experts. On-the-job training will be provided by our product development engineers and managers.

 This role involves frequent switching between computer-based and hands-on work. A successful candidate will be comfortable moving between CAD, documentation, product inspection, prototype assembly, testing, and general technical support throughout the day.
 

Responsibilities

Hands-On/ In-Person

• Assist product development engineers and managers with product testing, including test setup, test execution, and documentation of results
• Build, modify, and disassemble prototypes and product samples using common hand and shop tools
• Perform dimensional inspections of incoming samples and production parts and document findings
• Inspect product for quality and conformance to drawings, specifications, or approved samples
• Receive shipments of samples and production parts
• Photograph and document samples and prototypes
• Log, label, and organize samples and prototypes, maintaining accurate records

CAD & Documentation

• Create CAD parts and assemblies from established designs, sketches, dimensions, or direction from the product development team
• Modify and maintain existing parts, assemblies, configurations, and drawings
• Create and edit dimensioned drawings for vendors and for dimensional inspection
• Read dimensioned prints and verify physical parts against them for accuracy
• Maintain CAD files, revisions, and related documentation within SolidWorks PDM
• Create line art from 3D models
• Assist in creating and maintaining spec sheets and assembly instructions for new products and product updates
• Assist with technical product questions and special product requests by gathering dimensions, reviewing CAD data, and documenting product information

Required Qualifications
 Practical experience using SolidWorks to create and modify parts, assemblies, and drawings. Candidates should be comfortable navigating existing models and making basic dimensional or feature changes without step-by-step software instruction
 Ability to read and interpret dimensioned engineering drawings
 Comfort using common measurement and inspection tools such as tape measures, calipers, squares, and similar equipment
 Working knowledge of common shop and hand tools, with the ability to build, modify, and tear down samples and prototypes
 Strong attention to detail and organized documentation habits
 Ability to work both independently and collaboratively with a product development team that may include remote engineering and management support
 Working familiarity with Microsoft 365 tools, including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, and SharePoint
Preferred Qualifications
 Experience with SolidWorks PDM
 Experience in manufacturing, product development, furniture, metal fabrication, plastics, or other physical-product environments
 Familiarity with prototyping, sample building, or shop/lab environments
 Photography and technical documentation experience
Physical Requirements
 Able to safely lift, carry, and reposition product samples, prototype components, cartons, and tools, with assistance or material-handling equipment when appropriate
 Ability to perform the physical tasks required for prototype assembly, inspection, testing, and sample handling
