Project Overview My company designs, owns, and operates a line of outdoor coin- and card-operated vending equipment installed at retail locations across Southern California. I'm looking for an experienced mechanical designer to create a complete set of professional CAD drawings and 3D models for our equipment so we can streamline our manufacturing and procurement process going forward.

Deliverables ●Native CAD files in SolidWorks (.sldprt / .sldasm) or AutoCAD (.dwg) ● 2D manufacturing drawings (PDF) for each component, fully dimensioned with appropriate tolerances and GD&T per ASME Y14.5 ● STEP (.stp) files for each part ● Assembly drawings showing how components fit together ● Complete Bill of Materials (BOM) with materials, finishes, quantities, and standard hardware ● Sheet metal flat patterns and bend information where applicable Scope Approximately 25–40 unique components, consisting of sheet metal panels, brackets, a door assembly, mounting plates, and miscellaneous machined parts. Final part count will be confirmed at project kickoff. Ideal Candidate ● 5+ years of professional mechanical design experience ● Strong portfolio of sheet metal and manufacturing-ready drawings ● Fluent in GD&T and ASME Y14.5 standards ● Experience preparing drawing packages used for production quoting ● Clear, responsive communication Logistics Timeline is flexible.
