Computer Aided Design (CAD) Designer

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Designer uses software to create three-dimensional models of complex structures for various industries such as automotive, manufacturing, product development, and many more. One specialized in this created designs to generate 2D images (surface modeling), 3D images (solid modeling), or both.

Some titles for CAD Designer are:

• Design Engineer: They are in charge of designing functional products that meet the wants and needs of clients. In an engineering department, they draft blueprints, create test prototypes, and supervise the manufacturing process, among other things.
• Mechanical Designer: They create mechanical devices, tool designs, and technical drawings. They collaborate with engineers and other professionals to develop illustrations for various machines, including computers and buildings.
• Design Specialist: They assist clients in communicating a visually appealing image via digital, electronic, and print media. They create logos, brochures, signs, movie credits, and website graphics.

Some duties and responsibilities of Computer-Aided Design(CAD) Designer are:

• Managing a digital library of as-built records for complete capital engineering projects and process equipment changes, as well as leading teams of technical employees on AutoCAD design projects for semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and advanced manufacturing facilities.
• Using CAD software to create detailed 2D and 3D designs, attending development meetings, establishing project timelines and budgets, making corrections or revisions to 2D or 3D models as needed, and staying current with the latest developments and technologies in the CAD process.
• Creating complex layouts following the requirements of the projects, coordinating with other team members for relevant information for drawings, adhering to timelines and budgets while designing, and making recommendations after reviewing design concepts.

Major educational qualifications required for Computer Aided Design (CAD) Designer are:

• Minimum 2 year degree in related field (preferred)
• Bachelor's or Certifications (preferred)
• Experience utilizing CAD software
• Minimum 2 years working in a professional environment
• Strong organizational skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• An abundance of patience to see a complicated project to the end
• Ability to think in a three-dimensional manner
• Comfortable with sitting for long periods of time

Some alternate job roles for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Designers are:

• Project Engineer: Oversees and manages the planning, design, and execution of engineering projects.
• Mechanical Engineer: Applies principles of physics and materials science to design, analyze, and manufacture mechanical systems.
• Engineering Technician: Assists engineers in the design, development, and testing of various engineering projects.
• Electrical Designer: Creates and drafts electrical system designs for construction and engineering projects.
• Computer Operator: Monitors and controls computer systems, ensuring their smooth operation and resolving any technical issues.
• Computer-Aided Design Engineer: Utilizes specialized software to develop, modify, and optimize engineering designs.
• Computer-Aided Design Drafter: Creates detailed technical drawings and plans using computer-aided design software.

By 2030, India's real estate and Civil or Construction sector is expected to be the third largest in the world. This industry is expected to become India's largest employer by 2022, employing more than 75 million people. According to the report, as India's urban population is expected to exceed 580 million by 2030, there will be a need for nearly 110 million houses in rural and urban India by 2022 to ensure that all citizens have access to housing.
The expansion of the construction sector in India is fueling demand for computer-aided design (CAD) designers due to factors such as the government's initiatives to facilitate infrastructure development and increase foreign direct investment (FDI). According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), by 2022, India will have the world's third-largest construction industry. As a result, the need for CAD (computer-aided designs) Designers is increasing exponentially in India.
