Product Design - CAD

Robert Half Marketing and Creative is working with a client that is looking for a skilled CAD specialist to support the development of production-ready documentation for complex electromechanical hardware in Colorado. This Long-term Contract position will focus on translating prototype builds, rough concepts, and engineering input into accurate design packages that can be used confidently for fabrication, assembly, purchasing, and controlled release. The role works closely with cross-functional technical teams and requires strong judgment, independence, and attention to detail to ensure documentation is complete, manufacturable, and aligned with hardware configuration needs.

Responsibilities:

• Build and update detailed 3D models and assembly structures for rack-based electronic and electromechanical products using CAD tools such as Onshape, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD.

• Turn prototype units, lab assemblies, sketches, and early-stage concepts into fully documented design packages ready for manufacturing and repeatable production.

• Prepare and maintain fabrication drawings, assembly documentation, bills of materials, installation packages, and related technical records needed to support hardware builds.

• Take ownership of document accuracy and ensure drawings, models, and product records reflect the intended design and released configuration.

• Administer revisions, engineering updates, and controlled product data within documentation management systems such as Arena.

• Partner with scientists, engineers, technicians, and manufacturing teams to gather missing design details and convert technical intent into complete documentation.

• Assist prototype and first-article build activities, then incorporate build feedback into released documentation and formal design updates.

• Apply design for manufacturing and design for assembly principles to improve build efficiency, consistency, serviceability, and overall production readiness.

Qualifications:

• Associate’s degree, technical certification, or equivalent practical experience in drafting, mechanical design, engineering technology, mechanical engineering, or a related discipline.
• Advanced experience creating detailed mechanical documentation for electromechanical assemblies and products.
• Strong hands-on capability with 3D modeling and design tools, including experience with platforms such as Onshape, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD.
• Demonstrated ability to create clear fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and structured bills of materials for production use.
• Familiarity with product data control, revision management, and engineering change processes in a regulated or configuration-managed environment.
• Ability to work from incomplete inputs, identify information gaps, and independently drive documentation to a production-ready state.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills for working effectively with technical and manufacturing stakeholders.
