SolidWorksCAD Update & Documentation (Beta Reconciliation)

AboutRKS RKS is a 40-year industrial design and product development firm bringingcomplex products to market across consumer, medical, appliance, and industrialsectors. We integrate industrial design, mechanical engineering, andelectronics to deliver production-ready systems for global clients.

TheEngagement

Weare seeking a mid-level Mechanical or CAD Designer with strong SolidWorks experience to support reconciliation of a beta prototypewith its 3D CAD database.

Theproduct is in a working beta stage. The core architecture is established. Theimmediate need is detailed, methodical CAD updating to reflect the current betaprototype and documentation alignment to prepare the database for productionassembly reference as the CAD database may lack detail around mounting plates,wiring harnesses and other components were added in the build of the beta unit.

Thisis a hands-on CAD-intensive role suited for someone highly comfortable workingin large assemblies and managing detailed updates.

KeyResponsibilities

1.Beta Prototype vs. CAD Review

• Review physical beta prototype against existing SolidWorks assembly
• Identify discrepancies between as-built hardware and current 3D CAD
• Document differences in geometry, mounting, fasteners, routing, and interfaces

2.3D CAD Database Updates

• Update largeSolidWorks assemblies to reflect the current working prototype
• Resolve interferences and misalignments discovered during reconciliation
• Maintain proper assembly structure, part references, and configurations
• Ensure clean, organized, production-ready model structure

3.2D Documentation Updates

• Update 2D drawings to reflect revised 3D geometry
• Revise dimensions, tolerances, materials, and notes as required
• Maintain revision control and drawing standards
• Ensure drawing package aligns with updated BOM and assembly structure

RequiredQualifications

• Approximately 4–7 years of product development experience
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (large assemblies required) / 3D + 2D  CAD
• Experience updating and maintaining complex 3D CAD databases
• Experience generating and revising detailed 2D production drawings
• Strong attention to detail and methodical documentation skills
• Ability to work independently within an established engineering structure

Preferred

• Bachelor’s degree inMechanical Engineering

• Experience with sheet metal and injection-molded parts
• Familiarity with electromechanical assemblies (PCBs, wiring, motors, pumps, etc.)
• Experience preparing documentation for manufacturing release
