Electrical and Mechanical Designer​/Drafter

Saminco Solutions LLC and American Traction Solutions Inc. are sister companies that design, manufacture, and support advanced electric propulsion, power electronics, motor control, and industrial power technologies for mining, rail, transportation, heavy-duty hybrid/electric vehicles, and industrial equipment applications.

We are currently seeking a detail-oriented Designer/Drafter to support the design and development of advanced electrical systems and power-conversion products used in mining, rail, transit, electric vehicles, marine, and industrial applications. The successful candidate will work closely with electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and service teams to translate engineering concepts, legacy drawings, field information, and customer requirements into accurate, production-ready documentation. This position works in a collaborative, hands-on engineering environment at the Fort Myers, Florida headquarters.

This is an on-site position and is not remote.

This position reports to the VP of Engineering.

• Create, revise, and maintain electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interconnection diagrams, cable and wire schedules, panel layouts, assembly drawings, and Bills of Materials using AutoCAD and AutoCAD Electrical.
• Create and revise detailed 2D mechanical drawings and 3D solid models using AutoCAD and Autodesk Inventor.
• Prepare drawings from engineering sketches, markups, specifications, legacy documentation, verbal instructions, field measurements, and engineering direction, including part, assembly, fabrication, enclosure, sheet-metal, weldment, and installation drawings, exploded views, layouts, assembly instructions, and production documentation with appropriate dimensions, tolerances, notes, materials, and finishes.
• Work with engineers to make sure drawings reflect design intent, product requirements, customer specifications, and manufacturing methods, and check drawings for completeness, dimensional accuracy, fit, function, electrical consistency, manufacturability, and compliance with applicable company drafting standards.
• Support manufacturing, assembly, test, purchasing, quality, and field service teams by answering drawing-related questions, resolving documentation discrepancies, and working with engineers and production personnel to resolve design, fabrication, assembly, and installation issues.
• Assign and maintain drawing numbers, part numbers, revision levels, component references, wire labels, and related records in accordance with company standards.
• Process Engineering Change Orders and update affected drawings, Bills of Materials, and supporting documentation.
• Update existing drawings, incorporate redlines and as-built information into controlled drawing packages, and convert legacy or field-marked documents into controlled digital files and models.
• Support prototype development, product improvements, reverse engineering, and engineering change requests.
• Assist with component selection and verify that mechanical designs accommodate electrical devices, wiring, cooling, service access, and environmental requirements.
• Develop and maintain reusable drawing templates, symbols, libraries, title blocks, and drafting standards.
• Assist with equipment surveys and verification of existing electrical systems when required.
• Maintain organized electronic drawing files and released documentation in accordance with document-control procedures, and ensure current approved revisions are readily available to authorized users.
• Participate in design reviews, contribute practical recommendations that improve product quality, reliability, serviceability, and production efficiency, and incorporate feedback in a timely and accurate manner.
• Follow applicable safety, quality, and confidentiality requirements.
• Use AI tools to speed up routine work such as checking drawings, building BOMs, drafting notes, and cleaning up legacy documents, using sound judgment about when to trust the output, and find and test new ways to automate repetitive drafting tasks and share them with the people you work with.

• Associate degree, technical diploma, or certificate in electrical or mechanical drafting, engineering technology, computer-aided design, or a related field; equivalent relevant experience will be considered.
• Two or more years of electrical drafting or electrical CAD experience in a manufacturing, industrial, transportation, mining, or power-electronics environment.
• Proficiency with…
