Manager Engineering
Vacancy
As a CAD Engineer at TILLEN, you are responsible for the development and integrity of 3D designs. You start with the basic design and develop it into a detailed design by following the design checklists relevant to the industry we operate in. Active communication and interdisciplinary collaboration are important to deliver the optimal final product to our clients. You ensure the quality and proper setup of production drawings and 3D models, which serve as the final deliverables.
With the final CAD models, you prepare the technical drawings in collaboration with the Design Engineer and ensure that the checking workflow is followed once the final drawings are set up. You process the results of the checks and provide the project owner with the final deliverables. Keeping up with the latest production methods and CAD skills is what helps you grow into your role. You will be a part of the Design Department, working closely with your colleagues to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you enjoy developing and optimizing complex 3D designs, and don't mind working closely with different disciplines and adhering to strict quality standards, then this is the job for you.
Working week
On an enjoyable workday, you begin with a clear project kickoff, collaborating closely with Structural and Design Engineers to refine the design. You review the initial design for manufacturability and seamlessly navigate through details, ensuring the final solution is production-feasible.
On a less enjoyable workday, delays from the client create uncertainty that hinders the engineering process. It requires active replanning, and the clarity of tasks for the week can become unclear, leading to potential confusion.
