* 3+ years' experience in SolidWorks (Essential)
* A background in furniture, product, or architectural metalwork design is ideal
* Strong visual and technical design skills, with the ability to manage time and deadlines
* A positive attitude and willingness to learn and get stuck in
What You'll Get
