Join Nycom’s Design Engineering team and begin a career creating accurate, buildable shop drawings for laboratory casework, tops, and equipment. This fully remote, entry‑level role is designed for candidates who have Revit knowledge, typically gained through a degree or certificate program, and who are new to laboratory products. Nycom will provide structured training in laboratory casework and equipment, company drafting and Revit standards, and project workflows.

The Design Engineering Associate supports the preparation of shop drawings for submittal, bill of materials (BOM) production, and installation. Under the guidance of experienced team members, the Associate learns to interpret architectural and MEP drawings, reference internal cost estimates, model and draft laboratory scope in Revit, and coordinate routine design, dimensional, and installation questions.

• Assist with reviewing architectural and MEP drawings and preparing laboratory shop drawings under supervision.
• Maintain project notes, documentation, and assigned information in company systems.
• Complete assigned work accurately and on schedule while communicating progress and asking questions when guidance is needed.
• Resolve routine drafting questions using established standards and coordinate more complex questions with experienced project team members.

• Working knowledge of Revit, typically gained through a degree or certificate program, is required.
• No prior professional work or laboratory‑product experience is required; internship, co‑op, or academic project experience in drafting or construction documents is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, communication, and willingness to learn.
• Ability to work effectively in a structured, deadline‑driven remote training environment.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office programs.
