The posting

Our client is seeking a SolidWorks Design-Automation & Drawing QA/AI Specialist to strengthen quality control within a busy technical drawing and manufacturing environment. The role will focus on building automated checkpoints into the SolidWorks-to-production workflow to identify dimension errors, drawing inconsistencies and documentation issues before drawings, cutting sheets and CNC programs are released to production.

This is a hybrid role combining CAD automation and API development with quality assurance and process design. There is also scope to apply computer-vision or machine-learning techniques where these can add practical value to drawing review and anomaly detection.

Key Responsibilities

  • Assess the existing drawing-office workflow from SolidWorks through manufacturing drawings, cutting sheets and CNC programs, and identify suitable points for automated validation.
  • Build automated validation tools using the SolidWorks API, including macros, VBA, C# or .NET solutions.
  • Develop checks for dimensions, tolerances, drawing completeness and alignment with the design brief or BOM.
  • Design and implement error-flagging checkpoints at key stages of the drawing release process to prevent incorrect information from reaching production.
  • Evaluate third-party design-automation and drawing-review tools where these may be more appropriate than custom development.
  • Support the evaluation and possible implementation of platforms such as DriveWorks, CoLab AutoReview or similar solutions.
  • Apply computer-vision or machine-learning techniques where useful to compare issued drawings against source data and identify anomalies.
  • Work closely with the draughting team to identify recurring failure points and develop checks based on actual drawing and production errors.
  • Collaborate directly with the drawing office and production floor to ensure that automation solutions fit practical manufacturing workflows.
  • Document new validation processes, automated checks and workflow changes.
  • Train the drawing-office team on newly implemented tools and processes.

Minimum Requirements

  • Strong working knowledge of SolidWorks, including the SolidWorks API, macros, VBA or C#/.NET add-ins.
  • Demonstrated experience automating or customising CAD workflows.
  • Experience developing solutions such as automated drawing or cutting-sheet generation, rules-based configurations, or drawing-validation tools.
  • Strong understanding of engineering drawing standards, GD&T and manufacturing documentation.
  • Familiarity with cutting sheets, Bills of Materials (BOMs) and CNC program handover processes.
  • Programming ability in at least one of the following: Python, C#, VBA or .NET.
  • Understanding of manufacturing and production workflows.
  • Ability to work directly with drawing-office and production teams to identify and resolve practical workflow issues.
  • Minimum of 3 years' relevant experience in CAD automation, PLM/PDM development, or a mechanical or mechatronics engineering environment with strong scripting capability.

Advantageous Experience

  • Experience with DriveWorks or another SolidWorks-native design-automation or rules engine.
  • Experience with SolidWorks PDM.
  • Exposure to computer-vision or machine-learning techniques used for technical drawings or quality inspection.
  • Experience in shopfitting, retail fixture manufacturing, furniture manufacturing, metalwork or a similar fabrication environment.
  • Experience within a fast-moving, high-mix production environment.
  • Experience implementing third-party drawing-review or CAD QA software such as CoLab or similar platforms.

Key Competencies

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
  • Practical approach to process improvement and automation.
  • Ability to translate recurring drawing and production errors into effective validation rules and controls.
  • Strong attention to detail.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with technical and production teams.
  • Ability to balance automation and quality-control requirements with operational throughput.
  • Clear documentation and training capability.

Additional Information

  • The role is based on-site in Germiston, Gauteng.
  • The successful candidate will work alongside a 10-person SolidWorks drawing office producing manufacturing drawings, cutting sheets and CNC programs.
  • The position involves regular interaction with both the drawing office and production floor.
  • The employer is open to considering an initial fixed-term contract or consulting engagement for the right candidate before a potential permanent appointment.
