Summary: the CAD Director is responsible for assuring that CAD assets are generated for the GVCS. This incudes creating 3D models of each GVCS machine, exploded part diagrams, 2D fabrication drawings in coordination with the Production Director, as well as other CAM/CAE assets. The job involves a high-degree of CAD proficiency as well as the ability to manage a team of remote collaborators in group CAD sessions - or CAD Sprints. The job involves the development of a clear set of specifications for the open source CAD/CAM software package as well as research into identifying development pathways and recruiting candidates for the full development of the CAD/CAM platform over the next 2 years.
