Job Description

Role Overview:

Seeking an experienced CADAM CAD Engineer to convert legacy 2D CADAM drawings into interoperable formats (IGES, CATIA V5, DWG/DXF) while ensuring the preservation of dimensions, geometric features, and engineering information for downstream component identification and visual inspection.

Key Responsibilities & Skills:

• Hands-on experience with CADAM 2D Drafting (CCD/CDD) and interpretation of legacy engineering drawings.

• Experience converting native CADAM drawings into 2D IGES, CATIA V5 (CATDrawing), and DWG/DXF formats using appropriate CAD conversion tools.

• Strong understanding of 2D wireframe geometry, geometric entities, dimensions, annotations, drawing structures, and attributes.

• Ability to interpret, validate, and troubleshoot CAD conversions, identifying missing geometry, attributes, or structural relationships.

• Experience extracting and correlating component and assembly specifications from CAD drawings and associated Bill of Materials (BOM) documentation.

• Ability to validate converted geometry and engineering information against original CADAM drawings to support downstream visual annotation and inspection.

Deliverables & Project Support:

• Deliver process flows and participate in data conversion and data maintenance tasks.

• Mentor and provide knowledge transfer to client project team members.

• Serve as a primary, co-, and/or contributing author on project deliverables within assigned areas of responsibility.

• Provide best practices, industry-specific solutions, and alternative (out-of-the-box) solutions.

• Deliver thought leadership as well as hands-on technical configuration/development as needed.

• Perform other functional team duties as assigned.

Screening Questions (Qualifying Criteria):

1. Do you know how to analyze and understand proprietary CADAM files and associated engineering documentation? (Mandatory: Yes)

2. Can you extract component, assembly, and attribute information from CADAM drawings while preserving hierarchical relationships and metadata? (Mandatory: Yes)
