Alias job anyone ???

[Anonymous]

No sorry im not offering a job unfortunately, but im asking if anyone here works with Alias and what do you do because I have hunted for Alias jobs on the net but there are none or there are very few. Compared to AutoCad jobs which seem to come hand in hand with architecture jobs, Alias seems to be a bit of a mystery. Looking on ItJobsWatch the money is slightly higher for an Alias modeller but salary is falling and AutoCad salary is rising. Also the site can match 213 permanent it jobs for AutoCad but only 1 for Alias...anyone want to ad anything to this?

Cheers

Where abouts are you in the world?
In the UK here, there is a company called Majenta Solutions, they work with many industry companies who use a variety of 3D software, Alias being one of them. Here is their website:

Rich,

I'm a CAD Designer for our Industrial Design group. In summary, I mostly do high-end Alias CAD modeling (I also use ProEngineer). It also includes some concept generation (2-D and 3-D), concept refinement, participation in design reviews, and being a member of a cross-funtional team including engineering/manufacturing/marketing.

If you are interested in this kind of work, please contact me via email and we can talk more.

Looking or the "Alias" job where Autocad jobs are listed is not really a good idea since we talk about industrial design (nor engineering or IT, it is rather art discipline 😉 That explain the 1:213 ratio. By the way, don`t forget that this kind of job requires good examples at portfolio.
As suggested, look for the design agencies like Technicon, Futura, Drive, Trondesign, Aufeer Design, Virtuelle Studio ... - they all look for the people. In fact, demand for "Alias" skilled people is pretty high and I would doubt that salaries are falling.
I would also recommend to browse Coroflot for job offers.

mikedee, Thanks a ton for the list of recruiters. Do you know if any of those listed supply people to companies in the Southwest U.S.?

Hi Coralee!

I was reading your comment about  " find a job as Alias Modeler". I am new graduated and the market seems be pretty hard for junior Alias modeler with great passion for this job but little experience. I wonder if you have more opportunity to offer.

Best regards
