About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Drafting/CAD Technician to support the design and development of precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment and optical systems. In this role, you will create detailed mechanical and optomechanical drawings used in high-precision, cleanroom-compatible environments. You will work closely with mechanical, optical, and process engineers to translate concepts into accurate, manufacturable designs and provide technical guidance to junior CAD staff.
What You'll Do
* Create and maintain complex 2D and 3D CAD models and drawings for optomechanical components and assemblies
* Produce detailed fabrication drawings including GD&T, materials, finishes, and cleanliness requirements
* Support optical-mechanical integration by documenting alignment features, mounts, stages, and enclosures
* Ensure drawings comply with company standards, semiconductor industry requirements, and configuration control processes
* Manage drawing revisions, ECOs/ECNs, and PLM/PDM workflows
* Perform drawing checks for accuracy, tolerance stack-ups, and completeness prior to release
* Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to resolve design and documentation issues
* Support prototype builds, as-built documentation, and design-for-manufacturability efforts
* Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior Drafting/CAD Technicians
What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
* Associate degree or technical certification in Drafting, Mechanical Design, Engineering Technology, or a related field
* 3+ years of professional drafting/CAD experience in precision mechanical or optomechanical environments
* Proficiency in mechanical CAD software such as Solid Works, Creo
* Strong working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
* Experience creating detailed manufacturing drawings for machined and sheet metal parts
* Ability to read and interpret mechanical and assembly drawings
Preferred Qualifications
* Experience with semiconductor manufacturing equipment or optomechanical systems
* Familiarity with cleanroom requirements, materials, and surface finishes
* Experience with PLM/PDM systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Agile)
* Knowledge of tolerance analysis, thermal effects, and vibration considerations
* Experience supporting prototype builds and production transitions
* Experience with CNC machine tools and programming is a bonus!
Why Join Us
* Work on cutting-edge semiconductor and optical technologies
* Collaborate with highly skilled engineering teams
* Competitive compensation and benefits
* Opportunities for professional growth and technical advancement
Additional Information
* This position is onsite and will have exposure to manufacturing or cleanroom-adjacent environments
* Occasional overtime may be required to meet project deadlines
