We are not looking for someone who only has general mechanical CAD experience. How We Work Projects can range from relatively simple estimate-level drawings to complete fabrication packages. We may provide: Hand sketches Customer renderings Existing CAD files Dimensions Photos Physical sample information Material specifications Customer markups You will be expected to take this information and develop a professional, manufacturable CAD/drawing package. Project Types We are interested in both one-time projects and long-term freelance relationships. The right person may receive recurring work as our project volume increases. We are particularly interested in freelancers who can provide additional capacity when our workload increases.

Applications without relevant portfolio examples may not be considered. Important We are looking for someone who understands how POP displays are actually manufactured, not just how to model them in CAD. If you have experience taking a concept or rendering and turning it into a complete, production-ready display drawing package, we'd like to hear from you.
