Drafter

Drafter

We are seeking a skilled Drafter to review existing mechanical drawings, models, and documentation packages. The goal is to identify discrepancies between released designs and current production equipment. You will work closely with manufacturing personnel, technicians, assemblers, and engineers to understand field modifications and determine the rationale behind design changes. Your role will involve updating Solid Works models, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings to reflect as-built conditions.

Additionally, you will revise and maintain Bills of Material (BOMs), assembly documentation, work instructions, and associated engineering records. Ensuring all documentation meets internal configuration management and revision control requirements is crucial.

• Review existing mechanical drawings, models, and documentation to identify discrepancies.
• Partner with manufacturing personnel to understand field modifications and design changes.
• Update Solid Works models and detailed manufacturing drawings to reflect as-built conditions.
• Revise and maintain Bills of Material (BOMs), assembly documentation, and work instructions.
• Ensure documentation meets internal configuration management and revision control requirements.
• Create and maintain fabrication, assembly, and production drawings for mechanical systems.
• Support engineering teams by documenting design improvements and incorporating feedback.
• Verify drawing accuracy, dimensions, tolerances, and documentation completeness before release.
• Work independently to prioritize projects and drive documentation updates to completion.

• 3+ years of mechanical design, drafting, or CAD experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong proficiency with Solid Works, including part modeling, assemblies, and production drawings.
• Experience working with electromechanical products and CAD.
• Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, manufacturing processes, and assembly practices.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to documentation accuracy.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with shop floor personnel.
• Self-starter mentality with the ability to work independently and investigate issues with minimal direction.

• AutoCAD experience.
• Experience supporting custom electromechanical equipment, machinery, or industrial systems.
• Familiarity with ECOs (Engineering Change Orders), revision control, and configuration management processes.
• Experience maintaining BOMs, work instructions, and manufacturing documentation.
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Design, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field.

The work environment is dynamic, requiring collaboration with manufacturing personnel and engineers. You will primarily use Solid Works and occasionally AutoCAD to update and maintain drawings and documentation. The role demands a detail-oriented mindset and the ability to work independently to prioritize and complete projects. You will be part of a team that values accuracy, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
