Job description

Overview

TFX is looking for a highly skilled CAD designer/engineer to join our team. This role is for someone who is truly strong in CAD—not just basic part modeling, but advanced surface modeling, complex geometry, and designing with real-world manufacturing in mind. We build a wide range of custom projects, so the right person needs to be extremely capable in CAD and comfortable working through challenging design problems. This is a hands-on, fast-moving environment where designs need to look right, function correctly, and actually be buildable.

What We’re Looking For

• Very strong CAD skills, especially surface modeling and complex part design
• Experience with multiple CAD platforms and the ability to learn new ones quickly
• Strong understanding of how parts, assemblies, and products are actually manufactured and assembled
• Ability to turn rough ideas, sketches, or concepts into clean, accurate, production-ready models
• Good design judgment around fit, finish, tolerances, and practicality
• Comfortable working on a wide variety of projects rather than the same thing every day
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• Able to work quickly without sacrificing quality

Compensation: $60,000 - $90,000 yearly
