Produce SolidWorks drawings for approval on in-house orders; work with the product team to create 3D models and renderings.
Maintain computer filing systems for all CAD/CAM and rendering programs.
Support product development of furniture and objects — including cast, formed, and fabricated items — through concept development, hand-sketched renderings, vendor and material research, mock-up development, and design documentation.
