About the Client
Our client is building a marketplace and AI platform for additive manufacturing. They help companies convert legacy, custom, and hard-to-source parts into 3D-printable parts, then match those parts with the right suppliers, materials, and manufacturing processes. They are looking for a strong CAD Engineer in India who can help create, modify, reverse-engineer, and prepare parts for 3D printing.
Responsibilities
- Create 3D CAD models from 2D drawings, sketches, reference images, measurements, or customer specifications.
- Modify existing CAD files to improve fit, strength, manufacturability, or printability.
- Prepare parts for 3D printing across processes such as FDM, SLS, SLA, MJF, and metal additive manufacturing.
- Convert and clean files between formats such as STEP, STL, IGES, 3MF, DXF, and DWG.
- Review part geometry for common 3D printing issues such as thin walls, overhangs, unsupported features, tolerances, warping risk, and assembly fit.
- Create simple technical drawings with dimensions, tolerances, materials, and notes when needed.
- Work with the Accio3D team to recommend design changes based on material, process, and supplier capabilities.
- Help build a repeatable workflow for converting legacy and replacement parts into manufacturable 3D-printed parts.
- Maintain organized files, revision history, and documentation for each part.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Required Skills
- Strong experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Siemens NX, CATIA, Creo, or Autodesk Inventor.
- Ability to create clean, parametric, manufacturable models.
- Experience modifying mechanical parts, brackets, housings, fixtures, mounts, adapters, covers, jigs, or replacement components.
- Understanding of tolerances, assemblies, fits, wall thickness, fillets, threads, ribs, and fastening methods.
- Familiarity with 3D printing design rules and additive manufacturing constraints.
- Ability to work from incomplete or messy inputs and still produce practical CAD output.
- Strong attention to detail and ability to communicate design tradeoffs clearly.
- Comfortable working quickly in a startup environment.

Nice to Have
- Experience designing parts specifically for SLS, MJF, FDM, SLA, or metal 3D printing.
- Experience with reverse engineering, 3D scanning, or scan-to-CAD workflows.
- Knowledge of automotive, aerospace, industrial, defense, or manufacturing parts.
- Experience with GD&T.
- Ability to estimate material/process suitability for a part.
- Experience preparing files for vendors, suppliers, or manufacturing partners.
Example Projects
- Recreate an obsolete automotive bracket from a 2D drawing.
- Modify a plastic cover so it can be printed in nylon using SLS or MJF.
- Redesign a part to reduce support material and improve strength.
- Convert a customer’s STEP file into a clean printable STL/3MF.
- Create multiple versions of a part for different materials or print processes.
- Add mounting holes, ribs, fillets, tolerance changes, or assembly features to an existing model.
