3D CAD Operator - Mechanical CAD (Japan Projects)

Company: Confidential Engineering & Design Hub

Location: On-site /Vijaywada

Job Type: Contract / Freelance (Monthly renewable contract with potential for full-time conversion based on performance)

Compensation: Above INR 30,000 per month

Working Hours: 10:00 AM 6:00 PM, Monday to Friday

About the Role

We are looking for dedicated 3D CAD Operators to model mid-level mechanical drawings meeting the high-quality standards expected by Japanese manufacturing clients.

In this hands-on production role, you will work directly on real customer drawings, with quality reviews and feedback provided by senior technical teams. This engagement takes place during an initial Proof of Concept (PoC) phase, with strong opportunities for top-performing contractors to transition into permanent, full time positions as the design hub grows.

Key Responsibilities

- 2D to 3D Conversion: Build accurate 3D models using SOLIDWORKS from customer 2D drawings—primarily focusing on single parts, simple castings, and assemblies (including breaking assemblies down into component part drawings).
- 3D to 2D Detailing: Create precise 2D manufacturing drawings from 3D data where required.
- Standards & Compliance: Follow regional drafting conventions (such as JIS standards) and precise instructions from technical reviewers. Perform independent preliminary research (web, AI tools) when details are unclear before confirming with reviewers.
- Time & Quality Tracking: Maintain detailed logs for every drawing, tracking time taken, roadblocks, research notes, and lessons learned to help build team standard operating procedures.
- Work Estimation: Evaluate incoming mechanical drawings and estimate required modeling hours.




- Workflow Delivery: Submit completed data securely to designated cloud storage following standard operational workflows.

Candidate Requirements

- Experience: Minimum 1yr of experience required; selection is based strictly on evaluated skills and test performance.
- Core Software Skills: Strong SOLIDWORKS modeling skills covering parts, assemblies, and detailed drawings.
- Technical Interpretation: Accurate ability to read and interpret 2D mechanical drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish symbols.
- Domain Knowledge: Basic understanding of mechanical machining and casting processes.
- Communication: Basic proficiency in written English for daily communication with project coordinators.

Nice-to-Have Skills

- Knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T;).
- Familiarity with Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) or prior experience handling projects for Japanese clients.
- Practical experience working with assembly drawings and breaking them down into individual part drawings.
- Experience utilizing AI productivity tools in day-to-day workflows.

Work Environment & Security Due to the handling of confidential design data from overseas corporate clients, strict security measures are enforced:

- Mandatory Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signing prior to accessing customer drawings.
- Personal smartphones are strictly prohibited in the work area.
- Work PC USB ports are disabled, web/email use is restricted, and systems are monitored.

How to Apply If you have strong SOLIDWORKS proficiency and an eye for precision engineering details, please reply with your updated CV. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a practical modeling assessment, followed by technical tasks and interviews.
