Responsibilities
- Work with existing 3D mechanical CAD models in Siemens NX and other CAD tools as needed.
- Convert and export Siemens NX part and assembly files into STEP (.stp/.step) formats for engineering and manufacturing use.
- Review converted models to verify that geometry, features, and assemblies transfer accurately into STEP format.
- Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve basic issues that arise during the CAD file conversion process.
- Validate 3D geometry after conversion to ensure it meets project and quality requirements.
- Organize, label, and manage original and converted CAD files in accordance with project standards and data management practices.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineering and manufacturing teams to clarify requirements and address any CAD-related questions.
- Maintain clear documentation of conversion processes, file versions, and any issues encountered during conversion.
Essential Skills
- Hands-on experience with Siemens NX or other professional 3D CAD software.
- Proficiency working with 3D mechanical parts and assemblies in a CAD environment.
- Demonstrated ability to export or convert CAD models to STEP/STP file formats.
- Ability to review and validate 3D geometry and assemblies after conversion for accuracy and completeness.
- Strong attention to detail when handling complex CAD models and file structures.
- Solid file and data management skills to maintain organized CAD libraries and project folders.
- General mechanical design and mechanical engineering understanding to interpret CAD models correctly.
- Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Creo, and AutoCAD or similar platforms.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
- Experience collaborating with mechanical engineering and manufacturing teams on CAD-related tasks.
- Familiarity with multiple CAD systems (for example, Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD) and their export workflows.
- Ability to follow established engineering standards and naming conventions for parts and assemblies.
- Strong organizational skills to manage multiple CAD files and conversion tasks simultaneously.
- Effective communication skills to discuss technical CAD issues and resolution steps with team members.
