Class A Surfacing Modeler (Alias Modeler)

As a Class A Surfacing Modeler, you’ll be responsible for creating complex and flawless 3D surfaces using Autodesk® Alias® software. Your work will directly impact the final appearance of aircraft exteriors, interiors, and other industrial products. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, engineers, and other stakeholders to achieve exceptional surface quality.

• Surface Modeling: Develop Class A surfaces for exterior and interior components, ensuring they meet stringent quality standards.
• Refine existing surfaces to achieve optimal aesthetics, continuity, and manufacturability.
• Address complex curvature transitions, reflections, and highlights.

• Work closely with industrial designers, design engineers, and other team members.
• Interpret 2D sketches or clay models and translate them into 3D surfaces.
• Iterate based on feedback from cross-functional teams.

• Pay meticulous attention to surface continuity, tangency, and curvature.
• Ensure surfaces are free from gaps, ripples, or other imperfections.
• Optimize surfaces for tooling and manufacturing processes.

• Proficiency in Autodesk® Alias® software (Alias Automotive or Alias Surface).
• Knowledge of NURBS modeling techniques and surface evaluation tools.
• Familiarity with Class A surfacing principles and best practices.

• Resolve surface-related challenges, such as reflections, highlights, and transitions.
• Balance design intent with engineering constraints.

• Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Industrial Design, Aircraft Design, Automotive Design, Product Design, or a related field.
• 6 months to 1 year of experience in Class A surfacing using Alias software.
• Portfolio demonstrating expertise in creating high-quality surfaces.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively.

• Experience in aerospace, or consumer electronics is advantageous.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes (e.g., Composite manufacturing, CNC machining) is a plus.
