CAD Design Technologist (2D/3D)

A day in the life — Appleton, WI

Step into a role where ideas take shape. As our CAD Design Technologist, your morning might begin with a quick huddle alongside engineers and project managers. By mid-morning, you’re translating concepts into accurate 2D schematics and 3D models. After lunch, you’re tightening tolerances with GD&T, refining details to meet deadlines, and logging revisions so the team always has the latest drawings at hand. You’ll wrap the day by contributing to design standards, ensuring tomorrow’s work is even sharper.

How you’ll make an impact

• Produce precise 2D and 3D CAD drawings from requirements, sketches, and design intent.
• Partner with engineers and project managers to validate feasibility and accuracy.
• Iterate quickly—review and revise drawings to meet scope, schedule, and quality goals.
• Maintain organized, searchable records of drawings and revision histories.
• Use CAD tools to create clear visualizations that guide fabrication and construction.
• Help develop and refine drafting standards and best practices.
• Participate in team meetings to report progress and resolve design challenges.
