CAD Drafter​/Designer

Very is a fully distributed technology firm led by expert problem-solvers who create efficient, scalable solutions that move commercial, industrial, and consumer products from pilot to production in record time.

We believe that real innovation happens in the grind, working shoulder to shoulder with clients who are building the future. Our team thrives on that energy. When we’re not helping clients deliver business-critical outcomes, we’re refining our craft and celebrating what it means to do hard things well.

We’ve built a collaborative, tight-knit culture that thrives in both remote and in-person settings. We’ve won numerous workplace awards over the years, including Great Place to Work certification and recognition from Parity.org as a Best Company for Women to Advance.

Our clients include well-known brands like Vizio, Peloton, Clear, iHeart Radio, and Fellowes — all determined to leverage connected devices and AI to drive meaningful impact. Our job is simple: help them win.

As a CAD Drafter / Designer at Very, you’ll turn engineering concepts into precise, production-ready designs for the physical systems our clients depend on. Working primarily in Auto Desk Inventor, you’ll model and detail steel sheet metal components and large-scale mechanical assemblies — the kind that show up on factory floors and inside industrial machinery — and help our clients move from concept to fabrication with confidence.

You’ll partner closely with mechanical engineers, fabricators, and clients to make sure every drawing is not just accurate, but buildable. If you enjoy the craft of clean, manufacturable CAD work and want to see your designs become real, physical equipment, we’d love to talk.

For this role we’re looking for a drafter/designer with hands‑on Auto Desk Inventor experience and a background in steel sheet metal design.

• Auto Desk Inventor
• Steel sheet metal design
• Large-scale assembly design for factories or machinery

• Create 3D models, assemblies, and fabrication drawings in Auto Desk Inventor for steel sheet metal parts and structures
• Design and detail large-scale mechanical assemblies for equipment such as factory machinery
• Collaborate with engineers to convert concept designs into production-ready drawings
• Ensure designs are accurate and manufacturable before release
• Prepare and maintain bills of materials (BOMs) and drawing documentation
• Coordinate with fabrication and shop teams to resolve design questions during production
• Maintain organized CAD files and revision records
• Support design reviews and incorporate feedback from engineering, manufacturing, and clients

• Delivery of mechanical drawings and models that meet the time, budget, and manufacturability needs of Very's clients
• Accurate, fabrication-ready drawing packages that require minimal rework on the shop floor
• Successful design and detailing of large-scale assemblies from concept through release
• Project team adherence to Very's standard of best practices across engineering disciplines

• Associate's degree or technical certificate in drafting, mechanical design, or a related field (or equivalent hands‑on experience)
• 3-5 years of relevant experience as a CAD drafter or designer in a manufacturing, industrial, or mechanical design environment

In addition to experience, these are the critical skills we look for in all technical roles, and how they should be demonstrated at the Senior level.

• Client Obsessed:
  Keeps the client’s success front and center. Measures technical choices by their business impact
• Clear Communicator:
  Collaborates effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Quality-Driven:
