3D Designer – Sheet Metal & Injection Moulding (SolidWorks | AutoCAD)

Job Title: 3D Designer – Sheet Metal & Injection Moulding (SolidWorks | AutoCAD)

Qualification: Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical / Production / Tool Design Engineering or Equivalent.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design and develop 3D models and detailed 2D drawings for computer enclosures, brackets, bezels, and moulded plastic components.

• Work on sheet metal designs involving laser cutting, panel bending, punching, and assembly structures for PC cabinets and subframes.

• Design plastic injection moulded parts such as front panels, bezels, fan mounts, and decorative trims considering tooling feasibility and aesthetics.

• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and production teams to ensure compatibility between mechanical design and electronic components (motherboards, power supplies, cooling systems, etc.).

• Create manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T, material specifications, and fabrication notes.

• Support prototype development, validation, and modifications during the design verification phase.

• Work with vendors and toolmakers for panel bending and mould development, providing design clarifications and reviewing tooling feedback.

• Optimize existing designs for mass production, assembly efficiency, and cost reduction.

• Prepare BOMs (Bill of Materials) and maintain design documentation and revision control.

• Participate in design reviews and ensure adherence to company design and quality standards.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Diploma or Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical / Production / Tool Design Engineering or equivalent.

• Minimum 2 years of experience in SolidWorks 3D modeling (sheet metal, surface, and mould design modules).

• Strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication (laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, powder coating, etc.).

• Knowledge of plastic part design – wall thickness, draft, ribs, and gate locations for injection moulding.

• Experience in designing computer or electronic product enclosures preferred.

• Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerances, and manufacturing drawing standards.

• Good communication, teamwork, and project documentation skills.

Preferred (Optional) Skills:

• Experience with thermal management design, mounting layouts, or structural analysis for electronic housings.

• Familiarity with AutoCAD and rendering software like KeyShot or Blender for design visualization.

• Basic understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFMEA practices.

• Exposure to CNC fabrication and mould flow analysis is a plus.
