DPM is seeking a CHECKING FIXTURE & GAUGE, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Designer. We may be seeking to collect two types of applicants: those with experience who may be eligible for a higher pay rate, and those with little to no experience also. If you have the educational foundations noted below, you may still be considered a candidate without ample on-the-job experience.

We must have applicants with robust "build" concepts from their hobbies and pastimes and/or previous occupations. The applicant should/shall have at least one or two of the following:

- Knowledge and understanding of basic GD&T; concepts (this is critical)
- A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGIST degree/diploma/certificate, or
- A ONE-YEAR PRECISION MACHINING AND TOOLING CERTIFICATE, or
- A MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEGREE (not a Batchelor of Engineering). If you have a general Batchelor of Engineering, your resume will likely not be considered.
- High School Machine Shop / Technology classes, plus welding, plus auto shop, plus good computer skills, is acceptable without a post-secondary education.
- Experience using CAD software’s would be a real asset.
- Knowledge and understanding of Check Fixtures and Gauging concepts (perform your own research accordingly).
- Ability to visualize objects and shapes in 3D CAD space.
- Mechanical aptitude is highly important.

If you have CAD/CAM CNC programming experience, this would be an additional valued asset. If you have a lot of experience in CNC programming and CAD/CAM, DPM may be able to train you internally for fixture and gauge design. Please let us know if you have CAD/CAM experience.

If this job is open for application, DPM is collecting candidates.
