Job summary

Dream Job in Pune is seeking a skilled Jewelry CAD Designer to craft precise 3D CAD models of rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets and bangles using Matrix/MatrixGold or Rhino3D suites. You will ensure designs are manufacturable, considering metal shrinkage, stone tolerances, and ergonomics.

Collaborating with bench jewelers and production teams, you will produce photo-realistic renders for client approvals and marketing catalogs, and revise designs based on feedback or stone size changes.

Qualifications

• Experience as Jewelry CAD Designer in fine jewelry or manufacturing (2–5+ years).
• Strong portfolio showing precise assembly design and realistic renders.
• Solid understanding of jewelry manufacturing processes (casting, setting, finishing).

Responsibilities

• 3D Modeling & Design: Create precise 3D CAD models of fine jewelry pieces (rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, bangles) using industry-standard software.
• Technical Design & Feasibility: Ensure design specs are manufacturable—accounting for metal shrinkage, stone tolerances, prong security, wall thickness, and ergonomics.
• Photo-Realistic Rendering: Generate high-quality 3D renders and visual presentations for client approvals or marketing catalog usage.
• Collaboration: Work closely with bench jewelers, master setters, product managers, and production teams to resolve manufacturing challenges early.
• CAM & 3D Printing Preparation: Slice, support, and prepare CAD files (.STL, .3DM) for 3D wax/resin printing and investment casting.
• Design Revisions: Modify existing designs based on client feedback, stone size variations, or structural modifications.
