Flexing It is a freelance consulting marketplace that connects freelancers and independent consultants with organisations seeking independent talent.

Flexing It has partnered with Our client, a leading global specialist in energy management and automation is looking to engage with a Consultant CAD Designer with experience in 3D design and electrical engineering to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and proficiency in simulation software for electrical systems. This role will involve designing, modeling, and simulating electrical systems and components in 3D to support Virtual Reality training development and ensure performance, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:

● Understand and being able to reproduce in 3D electrical systems, components, and assemblies using CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar).

● Create detailed 2D and 3D CAR designs to create virtual environment

● Perform electrical simulations, including load flow analysis, transient analysis, and thermal simulations, using specialized simulation tools (e.g., PSpice, MATLAB, Simulink, or similar).

● Collaborate with electrical engineers to interpret technical specifications, schematics, and system requirements.

● Collaborate with training designer to interpret training goals to create appropriate 3D simulations.

● Conduct design reviews and optimize designs for manufacturability, performance, and cost.

● Ensure designs comply with relevant industry standards, safety regulations, and company guidelines.

● Participate in the development of prototypes and testing phases to validate simulation results.

● Maintain and update design documentation, drawings, and simulation data.

● Support cross-functional teams (engineering, manufacturing, R&D) throughout the product development lifecycle.
