The company:

One of our clients is a US construction technology company in California's Bay Area, building homes through a prefabricated manufacturing process rather than traditional on-site construction. They run their own production facility where engineering, manufacturing and design come together to deliver new homes at scale.

Role and Responsibilities:

You will sit inside the engineering team responsible for translating home designs into production-ready CAD. The work feeds directly into what comes off the factory floor — your assemblies, drawings and BOMs are what fabrication and field teams build from.

• Produce production-ready SolidWorks models, assemblies, drawings and BOMs
• Make sure designs are manufacturable and meet internal standards
• Work across teams to resolve design challenges as they come up
• Support fabrication and field teams during builds
• Contribute to internal modeling standards and workflows

Job Requirements:

• 3 to 4 years of hands-on SolidWorks, building production-level CAD
• Parametric modeling with clear design intent
• Understanding of manufacturing methods, materials and production workflows
• Ability to produce technical drawings for manufacturing and installation
• Working knowledge of mechanical systems and MEP-related components
• B.Sc. or Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent certificate
• Strong documentation discipline

Nice to Have:

• Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP)
• Sheet metal and CNC design experience
• PLM/PDM system familiarity
• MEP-integrated mechanical design background

Benefits:

• Medical, dental and vision coverage
• 401(k) match
• PTO
• Life and disability insurance
• EV charging subsidies
• Professional development support

Interview Process:

Two-stage interview process, run on an expedited timeline.
