About the Company
Our client is a U.S.-based manufacturing company specializing in point-of-purchase displays and custom retail fixtures.
The company combines design, technical production, and manufacturing to transform creative concepts into functional, production-ready solutions for retail environments. The team works in a hands-on environment where design accuracy, production feasibility, visual quality, and collaboration between design and fabrication are essential.
About the Role
We are looking for a detail-oriented Design Production Specialist to prepare customer-supplied designs for final production in both 2D and 3D formats.
This role combines CAD modeling in SolidWorks with artwork preparation in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. You will ensure technical drawings, CAD models, and artwork files are accurate, properly documented, and ready for manufacturing while collaborating with production staff from design preparation through fabrication and assembly.
This opportunity is ideal for someone with a background in Industrial Design, CAD Design, Production Art, Prepress, or a related discipline who enjoys turning creative designs into production-ready files.
Why This Opportunity?
You'll combine CAD, industrial design, graphic production, and manufacturing while working on real-world physical products and custom retail environments. The role provides direct exposure to fabrication and assembly processes and an opportunity to further develop your SolidWorks and production-focused design expertise.

Production Support & Documentation

• Collaborate with production staff throughout fabrication and assembly.
• Respond to production feedback and make necessary design or artwork revisions.
• Ensure design files contain the information required for successful manufacturing.
• Manage multiple CAD, artwork, and production files while maintaining accurate version control and documentation.
• Support Bills of Materials (BOMs) when applicable.

Important Notes
This is a production-focused design role, not a UX/UI or digital product design position. Candidates must have practical experience with CAD software and Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop and be comfortable working with both technical drawings and graphic/artwork files.
Experience with retail displays, store fixtures, or physical product manufacturing is highly valuable.
This is a remote/telecommute position.
