Job Description:

Insight Global is looking for a SolidWorks CAD Designer to support a client project by providing independent modeling and drafting support for fire-protection equipment, electrical I&C enclosures, sensors, connectors, connection boxes, mounting arrangements, and related mechanical components. Using SolidWorks, this individual will translate engineering specifications and preliminary concepts into complete 3D models and production-quality drawings while applying established drafting standards, GD&T, and revision-control requirements. The designer will independently evaluate component fit, mounting, clearances, mechanical interfaces, manufacturability, and overall design integration while working closely with mechanical, electrical I&C, and fire-protection engineers to incorporate technical feedback and design changes. Approximately 60% of the work will support electrical applications, but the position is focused on the physical and mechanical representation of electrical equipment rather than electrical schematic design
