3D Solid Modeler / CAD Engineer (Automotive Coachbuilding)

Company: SaltWorks MFG Location: Sarasota, FL Job Type: Full-Time

This is not a drafting position.

If your experience is limited to making drawings from someone else’s ideas, this is not the role.

We are looking for a true problem solver—someone who understands how parts are made, how systems work together, and how to turn complex ideas into real, manufacturable components.

What We Do

SaltWorks builds high-end, one-off custom vehicles. Every part, every system, every interface is intentional. We don’t follow templates—we create them.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Design and model complex, one-off components from concept to production
• Develop manufacturable solutions for real-world problems (not theoretical CAD)
• Work directly with fabrication, machining, and assembly teams
• Create parts that go from screen → machine → vehicle with minimal iteration
• Insure designs based on fit, function, and performance

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience in 3D CAD modeling (Fusion 360 preferred)

Deep understanding of:

• Machining processes (CNC, billet, sheet forming, etc.)
• Material behavior and tolerances
• Assembly relationships and real-world constraints

Ability to think through a part before modeling it

Speed and efficiency without sacrificing accuracy

Self-driven mindset—always learning, always improving

What This Role Requires

• Problem-solving under pressure
• High attention to detail
• Ownership of your work from start to finish
• The ability to adapt quickly in a fast-moving environment

What We Value

• Passion for the automotive/custom fabrication industry
• Pride in craftsmanship—even in digital work
• People who invest in themselves and stay on top of their game
• Team players who elevate those around them

What You Won’t Find Here

• Repetitive production modeling
• Slow corporate processes
• Hand-holding or micromanagement

What You’ll Get

• Work on some of the highest-end custom builds in the industry
• Direct collaboration with elite fabricators, machinists, and builders
• A fast-paced environment where your work matters immediately
• Competitive compensation based on skill and output

How to Apply

Send:

• Resume or experience summary
• Portfolio of your CAD work (must include parts designed for real-world manufacturing)
• Brief explanation of a complex part you designed and how you approached it
