Industrial Designer and Manufacturer, CAD/CAM – Competitive Salary - Oakwood Village, Ohio

Are you tired of design roles where your work never leaves the screen? Do you want to build real tooling, run the machines, and see the parts you design used in production?

In this role, you will take projects from concept through machining and final inspection. You will strengthen your CAD/CAM skills, gain hands-on CNC experience, and build practical manufacturing knowledge that few design roles offer.

The role

You will design and manufacture foundry patterns, molds, fixtures, and models using CAD/CAM tools such as SolidWorks, Autodesk PowerMILL, or Autodesk Fusion360. Then you will help machine and fabricate those designs using CNC equipment and manual tools.

Because you follow each project from start to finish, you gain a deeper understanding of how designs perform in real manufacturing and how to improve them.

Key Responsibilities

• Each part of your work helps you build valuable technical skills.
• Turn 2D drawings into 3D CAD models and grow your advanced CAD/CAM capability
• Design and manufacture foundry tooling used in casting processes
• Set up and operate 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machining centers and routers to build hands-on machining experience
• Design molds and fixtures used in plastics, polymer, concrete, and ceramic production
• Work with materials such as aluminum, steel, plastics, tooling boards, and wood to expand your fabrication skills

You will also manage multiple projects and see them through design, machining, and inspection. This gives you ownership of your work and practical experience across the full manufacturing process.
