Contract Job Description — Automotive CAD Surface & Mold Design

We are seeking an experienced CAD Surface Modeler to complete the design of a window flare/pop-out for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. The project requires both high-quality A-side (Class-A) surface modeling and complete B-side modeling suitable for fiberglass mold production.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience with automotive/industrial surface modeling and an understanding of real-world manufacturing requirements.

Scope of Work:

• Complete the A-side/Class-A surface of the window flare based on the provided design/reference.
• Develop the corresponding B-side geometry, including appropriate wall thickness, transitions, flanges, and mold/manufacturing considerations.
• Ensure the A-side and B-side are properly aligned and fully defined.
• Prepare the final CAD geometry to be directly usable by our fiberglass manufacturer for mold creation.
• Incorporate appropriate draft, edge conditions, parting/mold considerations, and manufacturability where required.
• Provide clean, organized, production-ready CAD files.

Preferred Software:

• Autodesk Alias
• SolidWorks
• Fusion 360
• Rhino or similar professional CAD/surface-modeling software

Ideal Experience:

• Class-A automotive surface modeling
• Automotive body/exterior components
• Reverse engineering or modeling from vehicle geometry
• Fiberglass/composite part design
• Mold and tooling considerations
• Understanding of manufacturing limitations and practical part construction

Deliverables:

• Completed A-side/Class-A surface
• Completed B-side model
• Production-ready CAD geometry suitable for fiberglass mold development
• Native CAD files plus STEP/IGES or other agreed neutral formats
• Final geometry that has been checked for gaps, bad surfaces, open edges, and other issues that could prevent the manufacturer from creating the mold

Project: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter window flare/pop-out Engagement: Contract / project-based Priority: Experience with automotive Class-A surfacing and manufacturing-ready composite geometry is highly preferred.

Pay: $50.00 - $80.00 per hour

Expected hours: 20.0 – 25.0 per week
