CAD Engineer

Job description

About the employer At the employer, we create exceptional mobility experiences through innovation to move the world forward. Built on the employer's proprietary technology and software-defined vehicle architecture, our award-winning vehicles bring our “Compromise Nothing” approach to the global automotive market. This means refusing to choose between performance and sustainability, design and engineering, ambition and integrity. At the employer Air and the employer Gravity, we've designed and built vehicles that redefine their segments, combining exceptional range, performance, design and space into one experience. We achieve this through deep vertical integration, where design, engineering and production are done in-house across our global offices and manufacturing facilities. Our teams come from across industries around the world, united by a shared commitment to excellence. By refusing to compromise, you can help redefine what is possible and shape the future of mobility. A CAD engineer is responsible for programming, operating, optimizing, and troubleshooting 5-axis CNC machining processes for casting die manufacturing, die repair, and precision component production. This role requires strong experience in CAD/CAM software such as Tebis and Mastercam for CNC programming, toolpath generation, manufacturing simulation and process optimization. The Engineer will collaborate closely with the design, metrology and maintenance teams to ensure high quality, efficient and cost-effective manufacturing processes while supporting continuous improvement initiatives. Key Responsibilities CNC Programming and Machining • Develop CNC machine programs using CAD/CAM programs such as Tebis, Master CAM and similar programs. • construction and optimized tool paths for milling, drilling, boring and finishing operations. • Create manufacturing strategies for die inserts, punched blocks, patterned steels, and die components. • Perform manufacturing simulations and validate software before releasing it to production. • Improve cycle times while maintaining required quality standards. Mold manufacturing and repair • Support new mold manufacturing and mold modification activities. • Replace software and hardware components during maintenance and engineering changes. • Collaborate with mold design engineers to improve manufacturability of mold components. • Support testing and troubleshooting activities. Process Improvement • Analyze machinery performance and implement continuous improvement initiatives. • Optimize cutting parameters, tool selection, feeds and speeds. • Reduce automation costs, setup times, and tool consumption. • Develop standardized manufacturing procedures and best practices. Quality and Inspection • Ensure that machine components meet drawing and GD&T requirements. • Coordinate with the metrics team to validate dimensions. • Review inspection reports and implement corrective actions when needed. • Maintain machinery documentation and audit control equipment and technology support • Support CNC machine setup and troubleshooting. • Coordinate preventive maintenance requirements with maintenance teams. • Recommend new tools, fixtures and manufacturing techniques. • Support the implementation of Industry 4.0 and digital manufacturing initiatives. Safety and Compliance • Follow all safety regulations and company procedures. • Ensure compliance with quality management systems and manufacturing standards. Participate in risk assessments and audits
