About the role

About TraxNYCTraxNYC is a jewelry brand based on 47th Street in New York's Diamond District. We design and manufacture custom and ready-to-ship jewelry, from one-of-one custom pieces to full product lines.
The Role: We're hiring an in-house CAD Designer / Model Maker to take pieces from concept to production-ready files. You'll work directly with our Production Manager, the owner, and our bench team (setters, polishers and caster) on a fast-moving mix of custom orders, high-profile pieces and new collections.
Responsibilities:
  • Design custom pendants, chains, bracelets and product-line pieces in Rhino / MatrixGold
  • Build production-ready files prepped for casting: shrinkage, supports/sprues, wall thickness and weight
  • Create stone layouts and setting specs (stone counts, sizes, pavé/micro-pavé maps) for the setters
  • Turn sketches, photos, logos and verbal briefs into accurate 3D models
  • Produce realistic renders for customer approvals and sales
  • Work with the bench to solve casting and setting issues and revise designs as needed
  • Manage multiple projects at once and meet tight deadlines
Qualifications:
  • 3+ years of jewelry CAD experience
  • Expert in Rhino / MatrixGold
  • ZBrush a strong plus (3D figural and organic pieces)
  • Solid understanding of casting, stone setting and jewelry manufacturing
  • Strong attention to detail and design sense
  • Portfolio of jewelry CAD work required. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered Pay & Schedule
  • $60,000–$100,000/year, based on experience and portfolio
  • Full-time, Monday–Friday
  • On-site at our 47th Street office, New York, NY
