SolidWorks Designer / Draftsperson

Studio Cortez is a high-end steel door and window design and fabrication company known for precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. We’re seeking an experienced  SolidWorks Designer / Draftsperson  who does more than draft — someone who thrives in a  solutions-oriented environment  and wants to be a critical part of product development, refinement, and delivery.

This is not a task-only drafting position. The right candidate will be deeply engaged in understanding product intent, responding to field conditions, and participating in design iterations that improve function and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Produce precise 3D models and fully detailed 2D production drawings using SolidWorks, including step files, DXFs, and fabrication-ready documents.
  • Collaborate with project managers and fabricators to ensure drawings reflect buildable, efficient, and cost-effective solutions.
  • Translate design intent into buildable documentation while responding to evolving site conditions.
  • Manage and modify our part and assembly library using  SolidWorks PDM , including revision / version control and product evolution tracking.
  • Actively participate in design reviews, contributing critical thinking and feedback toward continuous product improvement.
  • Support quality assurance by validating 3D / 2D outputs against fabrication requirements and checking drawings before release.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years professional experience  using SolidWorks in a fabrication-oriented environment.
  • Experience in SolidWorks PDM , including both user and admin-level capabilities (e.g., managing revisions, modifying product libraries, branching versions).
  • Proven ability to work through  iterative design processes  and contribute meaningfully to design improvements.
  • Demonstrated experience producing drawings that respond to  site-specific conditions  (not just isolated part modeling).
  • Understanding of QA / QC processes for both modeling and 2D production drawings.
  • Familiarity with  steel fabrication and glazing  strongly preferred.
  • Who You Are

  • A detail-oriented professional who sees drafting as part of the  product development team , not just a service provider.
  • A  problem-solver  who enjoys working through complex conditions and iterations to reach better design outcomes.
  • Skilled in managing multiple versions, legacy designs, and evolving product libraries.
  • Clear communicator who can advocate for what’s needed to complete work accurately and on time.
  • What We Offer

  • Paid vacation, sick time, and holiday pay
  • Health, dental, and life insurance
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • A collaborative environment that values your input and expertise
  • Complex, rewarding design challenges that evolve your skills
  • To Apply :

    Please provide  2 – 3 samples of production drawings you created for fabrication. These should demonstrate how you communicate assembly, conditions, and fabrication intent.

  • Please share some insights into your PDM Administration experience.
