Automotive CAD & Product Design Specialist

Ford Motor

Oct 2022 - Mar 2025 • 2 yrs 5 mos

Worked on automotive product design and CAD development activities, supporting the creation and refinement of vehicle related components and technical design solutions. My responsibilities included developing 3D CAD models, modifying existing components, preparing technical drawings and supporting engineering design iterations. I worked with dimensional requirements, component interfaces, assembly relationships and design specifications to develop accurate and functional CAD data. I supported the refinement of product geometry based on engineering feedback and design requirements, paying close attention to fit, clearance, manufacturability and assembly. I also contributed to the preparation of technical documentation used to communicate design information between design and engineering teams. My work required strong attention to detail and an understanding of how digital product models translate into physical components and manufacturing processes. I maintained organized CAD data and focused on producing clear, accurate and technically useful design documentation. This experience strengthened my knowledge of automotive product development, mechanical CAD, technical drafting and manufacturing focused design while developing my ability to work effectively within structured engineering workflows. Core areas: Automotive CAD, Product Design, 3D Modeling, Mechanical Design, Technical Drawing, Assembly Design, Manufacturing Considerations.

Mechanical Design & CAD Engineer

Rolls-Royce

Oct 2018 - Aug 2021 • 2 yrs 10 mos

Worked within an engineering focused environment supporting mechanical design, CAD development and technical documentation. The role involved working with detailed engineering requirements and translating them into accurate digital models and technical design information. My responsibilities included creating and modifying 3D CAD models, developing component geometry, supporting assembly development and preparing technical drawings for engineering communication and review. I paid close attention to dimensional accuracy, interfaces, tolerances, clearances and design consistency. Where design changes were required, I updated CAD models and associated documentation while maintaining organized engineering data. The work also required consideration of manufacturing and assembly requirements. I developed an understanding of how component geometry, material selection, tolerances and production methods can influence the final design. Working in a highly engineering oriented environment strengthened my approach to precision, documentation and structured design development. It also improved my ability to work with multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical design information clearly. My experience contributed to a strong foundation in mechanical product development, CAD modeling, engineering drawings and manufacturing focused design. Core areas: Mechanical Design, 3D CAD, Engineering Drawings, Product Development, Manufacturing Design, Assembly Development, Technical Documentation. Rolls-Royce describes its engineering function as covering design, research, testing, development and performance across Civil Aerospace, Defence, Civil Nuclear and Power Systems, so the engineering framing above is consistent with the company's documented activities.

Mechanical CAD & Technical Design Specialist

Siemens

Sep 2015 - Apr 2017 • 1 yr 7 mos

Worked on CAD and technical design activities within an engineering and technology environment, supporting the development and documentation of mechanical components, assemblies and technical solutions. My responsibilities included creating and modifying detailed 3D CAD models, preparing technical drawings and developing engineering documentation from design requirements and existing technical references. I focused on accurate geometry, dimensions, component interfaces, assembly relationships and clear technical communication. I supported design revisions by incorporating engineering feedback and updating CAD models and drawings to reflect changes in specifications. I also worked with mechanical features such as mounting interfaces, structural components, housings, brackets and other functional parts. Attention to manufacturability and assembly was an important part of the design process. I considered practical production requirements, tolerances, clearances and component relationships when developing or modifying designs. This experience strengthened my ability to work with complex technical information, maintain organized CAD documentation and communicate effectively with engineering teams. It also expanded my understanding of professional engineering workflows, technical drafting and structured product development. Core areas: Mechanical CAD, Technical Drawing, 3D Modeling, Engineering Design, Assembly Design, CAD Documentation, Manufacturing Considerations.
