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

• Project & Process Support
  • Participate in mold tuning and forming trials
  • Collaborate with machine shop during tooling fabrication
  • Apply DOE (Design of Experiments) for process optimization
  • Manage engineering tasks, timelines, and deliverables
• Cross-functional Collaboration
  • Work with customers and internal teams to align technical solutions
  • Support manufacturing and process teams during production

3. Requirements

• Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, or related field
• Experience
  • 0–3 years in CAD/FEA engineering (composites, plastics, thermoforming preferred)
• Technical Skills
  • Proficient in CAD: SolidWorks, CATIA, NX
  • Experience with FEA tools: Abaqus, Ansys
  • Understanding of thermoplastic materials & forming processes
  • Knowledge of waterjet cutting / nesting
• Soft Skills
  • Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking
  • Good communication with customers and cross-functional teams
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure
• Preferred
  • Experience in continuous fiber composites
  • Lean / Six Sigma knowledge
  • Mandarin & English communication
