Join a leading automotive engineering company as a CAD Author, creating and developing detailed 3D models, technical drawings, and digital prototypes for complex engineering projects. This role focuses on translating engineering requirements into accurate CAD designs, supporting simulation and validation activities, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimise component performance. Ideal candidates will have strong experience in CAD/CAM/CAE tools, attention to detail, and the ability to manage design tasks in a fast-paced environment. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative product development using advanced digital engineering techniques.

Job Description:
Computer Aided Design & Drafting (CAD/CAM/CAE):
• Assessing engineering requirements and translating into technical blueprints, drawings, layouts, and simulation models using CAD/CAM/CAE software or applying standard CAD/CAM/CAE techniques to digitise, edit, and revise engineering drawings of components, parts, and assemblies
• Customizing CAD/CAM/CAE software to model complex or unusual designs
• Creating digital prototypes and conducting design simulations for purposes of verifying reliability/safety and optimising engineering processes
• Collaborating with product/manufacturing process engineers by recommending changes to component designs based on outcomes of digital prototyping and design simulations
• May provide materials lists and cost estimates

Responsibilities typically include:
• Managing projects/processes, working independently with limited supervision
• Coaching and reviewing the work of lower-level professionals
• Problems faced are difficult and sometimes complex
