Job description

We don't make boring trophies or awards.

TrophySmack is building the next generation of awards, recognition, and trophies—products designed to make winning feel bigger, better, and impossible to forget. We're not interested in doing things the way they've always been done.

If you're the kind of person who sees a piece of manufacturing equipment and immediately starts thinking about what else it could do, looks at a product and wonders how you'd build it, or hears "that's how we've always done it" and thinks there's probably a better way... You're probably our kind of person.

We're in the business of WINNING. In order to SERVE champions, we have to BE champions.

About the Role

We're looking for a highly skilled, hands-on 3D Modeling & Fabrication Specialist to bring creative concepts and product ideas to life. This role is ideal for someone who has a strong background in 3D modeling and understands how to translate digital designs into physical products using a variety of creative, outside-the-box fabrication and production technologies.

The primary focus of this position is advanced 3D modeling, design, and 3D printing, with additional responsibilities across laser cutting, UV printing, equipment maintenance, and general fabrication.

We're looking for someone who is technically skilled, detail-oriented, resourceful, and comfortable working through the entire process — from concept and digital design to finished physical product.

What You'll Do:

3D Modeling & Design

• Create detailed, accurate, and production-ready 3D models from concepts, sketches, references, and existing designs.
• Develop and modify 3D models for product development, prototyping, and manufacturing.
• Optimize models for 3D printing, ensuring proper dimensions, tolerances, structural integrity, and printability.

3D Printing & Fabrication

• Operate and manage 3D printers, including preparing files, configuring print settings, selecting materials, and monitoring production.
• Support additional fabrication processes, including laser cutting, engraving, and UV printing.
• Prepare and execute production files for various fabrication equipment and technologies.

Equipment Operation & Maintenance

• Operate, maintain, and troubleshoot 3D printers, laser cutters, UV printers, and other production equipment.
• Perform routine equipment maintenance, calibration, cleaning, and basic repairs.
• Maintain an organized, safe, and efficient fabrication workspace.

Product Development & Production Support

• Collaborate with internal teams to translate product concepts into manufacturable designs.
• Identify opportunities to improve production workflows, material usage, and overall efficiency.
• Maintain quality and consistency across finished products.

What We're Looking For:

• Strong professional experience in 3D modeling, with the ability to independently create complex, detailed, and production-ready models.
• Proficiency with professional 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or comparable platforms.
• Experience preparing and optimizing files for 3D printing and other digital fabrication processes.
• Working knowledge of laser cutting, engraving, and UV printing technologies.
• Mechanical aptitude and experience maintaining, calibrating, and troubleshooting production equipment.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to independently troubleshoot technical challenges.
• Excellent attention to detail, organization, and commitment to quality.
• Familiarity with CAD/CAM workflows and production file preparation.
• A portfolio showcasing 3D modeling projects, physical prototypes, or fabricated products.
• $55,000 - $65,000 annual salary based on experience, skills, education, and qualifications
• Flexible PTO - take the time off when you need it. No fixed amount of days - we are happy to support the work/life balance of our employees!
• Fully stocked kitchen and game room - You'll find our employees playing games throughout the day! We LOVE to have fun!! We've got a bowling alley, basketball hoops, ping pong tables, arcade games & more!
• Smackology culture - we believe in a little chaos, a lot of banter, zero corporate robot energy.
• Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance with 50% employer contribution
• 401(k) plan
• Paid Holidays - New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
• Employee Discounts
• Opportunity to join a high-growth ecommerce company
• Collaborative, high-performing team environment
• Career growth and advancement opportunities
