Reverse Engineering Engineer/3D Tool designer

Role & responsibilities

We are looking for a 3D Tool Designer / Reverse Engineering Engineer with hands-on experience in 3D scanning data processing, reverse engineering, mesh-to-CAD conversion, surface modeling, and deviation analysis. The candidate will be responsible for converting physical components and scan data into accurate, editable CAD models and supporting product/tool development activities.

Preferred candidate profile

• Convert STL/mesh scan data into parametric CAD models using STEP/IGES and other suitable formats.
• Process, clean, align, and prepare 3D scanning data for reverse engineering.
• Develop accurate 3D CAD models and surface models from scanned components.
• Perform surface modeling and Class-A/complex surfacing as required.
• Conduct deviation analysis between the original STL/scan data and CAD model to verify dimensional accuracy.
• Operate and support 3D scanning equipment for capturing physical component geometry.
• Measure physical parts using Vernier Caliper, Micrometer, and other precision measuring instruments.
• Interpret engineering drawings and understand component dimensions, tolerances, and geometrical requirements.
• Prepare and modify CAD models based on physical part measurements and scan data.
• Coordinate with Design, Production, Tooling, Quality, and Engineering teams for model development and corrections.
• Maintain proper documentation of scan data, CAD models, revisions, and engineering changes.

• Strong knowledge of Reverse Engineering and 3D Scan Data Processing.
• Hands-on experience in Mesh-to-CAD conversion.
• Good working knowledge of SolidWorks and/or Siemens NX10.
• Knowledge of surface modeling and deviation analysis.
• Understanding of STL, STEP, IGES and parametric CAD formats.
• Basic knowledge of 3D scanning and scan-data cleaning.
• Ability to take and interpret measurements using Vernier Caliper and Micrometer.
• Good understanding of mechanical components, dimensions, tolerances, and engineering drawings.
