Job Description

Job Title: Fusion 360 CAD Modeler / Test Fixture Design Engineer

Location: Redmond, WA

Role Summary

We are seeking a skilled Fusion 360 CAD Modeler to translate early test concepts into production ready test fixtures and scalable test systems. This role partners closely with engineering project leads and test owners to refine requirements, explore design options, and deliver manufacturable, cost effective fixture solutions. The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical design skills with hands on assembly experience and a practical understanding of test system scalability.

Key Responsibilities

Concept Development & Requirements Refinement

Partner with engineering project leads to take high level test concepts and evolve them into clear, actionable design requirements

Actively question, refine, and improve requirements to ensure feasibility, manufacturability, and cost effectiveness

Identify ambiguities and drive resolution early to reduce downstream rework

Mechanical Design & Modeling

Create detailed 3D CAD models using Autodesk Fusion 360 for test fixtures and supporting hardware

Develop and present multiple design options where appropriate, clearly calling out trade offs related to cost, complexity, durability, and scalability

Ensure designs align with test intent, lab constraints, and long term maintenance needs

Bill of Materials & Budgeting

Generate detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) for fixtures and test systems

Develop cost estimates and budgets to support build decisions and scaling plans

Evaluate components and materials for availability, lead time, and cost stability

Build, Assembly & Scale Up

Assemble prototype and production fixtures, validating mechanical fit and functionality

Iterate designs based on hands on build and test feedback

Support scaling of fixture designs from single prototypes to multi station or high volume test environments

Document assembly procedures and recommended build practices

Cross Functional Collaboration

Collaborate with test engineers, validation teams, and lab operations to ensure fixtures meet test coverage and reliability needs

Support transitions from prototype to production test systems

Contribute to design reviews and provide clear technical rationale for design decisions

Required Qualifications

Proven experience using Autodesk Fusion 360 for mechanical design and 3D modeling

Strong foundation in mechanical design principles, tolerancing, and manufacturability

Experience creating BOMs and cost estimates for mechanical assemblies

Hands on experience assembling mechanical fixtures or test equipment

Ability to translate abstract concepts into practical, buildable solutions

Strong communication skills and comfort working directly with engineering leads

Preferred Qualifications

Experience designing test fixtures or lab automation equipment

Familiarity with scaling test systems across multiple stations or labs

Experience sourcing components and working with vendors or machine shops

Exposure to rapid prototyping techniques (e.g., 3D printing, quick turn machining)
