These cases protect and transport high-value AV equipment under demanding conditions.We are looking for a high-level SolidWorks user with a strong background in manufacturing and product design—someone who doesn't just model parts, but understands how things are built, assembled, and improved.This role requires a mechanically inclined, detail-oriented problem solver who can look at an assembly and immediately understand:How it functionsWhere it might failHow to improve itWhat tolerances and hardware are appropriateHow to execute changes quickly and efficiently in SolidWorksEvery project is custom, so success in this role depends on critical thinking, adaptability, and deep practical experience—not just software proficiency.Key ResponsibilitiesResearch, analyze, and accurately model customer equipment for case integrationDesign fully customized, manufacturable road case solutions based on client requirementsCreate robust 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks with a focus on real-world manufacturabilityProduce detailed 2D technical drawings with appropriate tolerances, fits, and calloutsSelect and apply correct hardware and fastening methods based on load, material, and use caseIdentify design improvements for durability, usability, and production efficiencyReverse engineer parts and assemblies when requiredGenerate manufacturing-ready files (DWG, DXF, STEP, etc.)Maintain clean, organized file structures and revision control across all design assetsCollaborate closely with production to optimize builds, reduce errors, and improve throughputWork with vendors/suppliers to source components and validate design feasibilityManage multiple projects simultaneously with strong time and priority managementWhat We're Looking ForThis is not an entry-level or purely CAD-focused role.
