Create detailed 3D CAD models from designer sketches, renderings, and specifications.
Build production-ready files for rings, pendants, earrings, bracelets, and custom jewelry pieces.
Ensure proper stone placement, settings, metal thicknesses, and structural integrity.
Prepare files for 3D printing, casting, and manufacturing.
Make revisions based on designer feedback and production requirements.
Collaborate with the design and production teams to resolve technical challenges.
Maintain organized CAD files and project documentation.
Meet project deadlines while maintaining high levels of accuracy and quality.
Qualifications
Proficiency in Rhino, MatrixGold, or similar jewelry CAD software.
Experience creating production-ready jewelry models.
Strong understanding of jewelry manufacturing processes, including casting and stone setting.
Ability to interpret sketches, technical drawings, and design specifications.
Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills.

Previous experience in custom jewelry production.
Knowledge of gemstone setting techniques and manufacturing tolerances.
Experience preparing files for 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
Success in This Role
The ideal candidate is highly technical, detail-oriented, and capable of accurately translating a designer's vision into manufacturable CAD models while minimizing production revisions and maintaining design integrity.
