CAD Administrator

Description

• Administer and maintain GTI’s CAD environment, including SolidWorks 3DExperience, SolidWorks PDM, AutoCAD, and Revit.
• Coordinate with suppliers and external engineering partners to ensure compatibility and compliance with GTI data standards.
• Act as GTI’s subject matter expert for CAD/PDM system selection, configuration, and continuous improvement.
• Participate in defining GTI’s long-term CAD and design systems roadmap.
• Maintain system templates, drawing standards, and libraries for consistency across disciplines.
• Lead the migration from 3DExperience to SolidWorks PDM, overseeing configuration, data migration, and user adoption.
• Support integration between CAD systems and GTI’s Dozuki work instruction software to ensure seamless flow of engineering data to the production floor.
• Develop and deliver user training on CAD best practices, standards, and PDM workflows.
• Shape the future of GTI’s digital engineering systems infrastructure.
• Coach engineers and designers on efficient modeling techniques, revision control, and system utilization.
• Manage user access, workflows, and permissions within CAD/PDM platforms to ensure compliance and data integrity.
• Establish and enforce company-wide CAD standards for file naming, revision management, and design documentation.
• Provide first-line support for CAD-related issues, troubleshooting modeling, file management, and workflow challenges.
• Partner with manufacturing engineering to ensure design outputs are production-ready and optimized for fabrication.
• Evaluate and recommend tools to improve collaboration, version control, and design throughput.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering teams to align processes across product lines.
• Work closely with the IT, Engineering, and Operations teams to align CAD system capabilities with business needs.
• Be part of an innovation-driven team building mission-critical modular solutions for global markets.
• Collaborate with world-class engineers across multiple disciplines.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and design change processes through proper CAD/PDM integration.

Requirements

• Knowledge of lean manufacturing principles and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) practices.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and structural design principles and how they integrate in complex assemblies.
• Experience developing and maintaining CAD standards, templates, and libraries.
• Proven ability to train and mentor design teams across disciplines.
• Familiarity with industrial fabrication, modular steel construction, or energy storage systems.
• Exposure to PLM systems or 3DEXPERIENCE, even if not directly responsible for implementation.
• 5–8 years of experience administering SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Revit environments in a manufacturing or industrial setting.
• Experience leading CAD system migrations (e.g., from 3DEXPERIENCE to PDM).
• Experience integrating CAD data into work instruction platforms (Dozuki or similar).
• Demonstrated expertise in SolidWorks PDM (Professional or Manage) setup, workflow design, and user management.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Design Engineering—or equivalent experience.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, benefits, and growth opportunities.
