CAD Jobs in Overland Park, KS

A Computer-Aided Design (CAD) professional plays a critical role in the manufacturing engineering industry. They utilize specialized software to create design plans for products, structures, and systems. CAD professionals are instrumental in the design process, transforming initial conceptual sketches into detailed plans that manufacturing teams use to produce the final products. They also test and optimize designs, ensuring they meet the necessary specifications and safety standards. Furthermore, they can simulate and visualize designs in a 3D space, which enables engineers and designers to examine the object from every angle and make necessary alterations before physical production begins.

Prior to becoming a CAD professional, one might have served in roles such as Design Drafter, CAD Technician, or Junior Engineer. These positions provide valuable experience in technical drawing, product design, and the use of CAD software. Important skills for a CAD professional include strong technical drawing skills, proficiency in CAD software (such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks), a keen understanding of engineering technology, and the ability to visualize objects in three dimensions. Most employers require a degree in a relevant field such as mechanical engineering or industrial design. Additionally, obtaining certification from software vendors or industry organizations can significantly enhance job prospects. Certifications like Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP), AutoCAD Professional Certification, or Autodesk Certified User demonstrate a high level of competence and expertise in the field.
