Cad Engineer

Job Description

TFX is looking for a highly skilled CAD designer/engineer to join our team. This role is for someone who is truly strong in CAD—not just basic part modeling, but advanced surface modeling, complex geometry, and designing with real-world manufacturing in mind.

We build a wide range of custom projects, so the right person needs to be extremely capable in CAD and comfortable working through challenging design problems. This is a hands-on, fast-moving environment where designs need to look right, function correctly, and actually be buildable.

What We’re Looking For:

Very strong CAD skills, especially surface modeling and complex part design

Experience with multiple CAD platforms and the ability to learn new ones quickly

Strong understanding of how parts, assemblies, and products are actually manufactured and assembled

Ability to turn rough ideas, sketches, or concepts into clean, accurate, production-ready models

Good design judgment around fit, finish, tolerances, and practicality

Comfortable working on a wide variety of projects rather than the same thing every day

Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Able to work quickly without sacrificing qualityCompensation:

$60,000 - $90,000 yearly

Responsibilities:

Strong proficiency in one or more professional CAD programs

Advanced experience with surface modeling, complex geometry, and detailed part/assembly design

Solid understanding of real-world manufacturing methods, materials, and assembly constraints

Ability to create accurate, organized, and production-ready CAD data

Experience working from rough concepts, reference images, sketches, or incomplete information

Strong grasp of fitment, tolerances, clearances, and practical design execution

Ability to manage multiple projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment

Strong problem-solving ability and close attention to detail

Good communication skills and ability to work closely with fabrication and leadership teams

Self-motivated, efficient, and able to work with minimal hand-holding

Qualifications:

Create high-quality CAD models, assemblies, and design packages for a wide variety of projects

Develop complex surface models and production-ready geometry based on project needs

Translate concepts, sketches, and verbal direction into clean, buildable designs

Review designs for manufacturability, fit, function, and overall practicality

Work closely with the shop and project teams to ensure designs are realistic and executable

Revise and improve designs as projects develop, including solving issues that come up during build

Prepare files, drawings, and related CAD data needed for manufacturing and internal use

Maintain organized and accurate CAD files, assemblies, and revision control

Help identify smarter, faster, and better ways to design parts and assemblies

Support a wide range of custom projects that may vary significantly in type, scale, and complexity
