- Hands-on experience with any CAD platform (e.g. Fusion 360, AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Onshape, Inventor, CATIA, Creo).
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with an emphasis on clarity and detail.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Autodesk tools, particularly Fusion 360 or AutoCAD.
- Experience using coding agents and Python.
- Background in CAM, CNC machining, or digital manufacturing workflows.

- Experience developing or applying process evaluation rubrics.
Process:
- Apply to the role, filling out the screening questions
- Complete AI interview (aprox. 30 minutes)
- Hiring Manager review
