Amphenol Industrial Operations is looking for a Design Engineering Technician to join our Design Engineering team. This is a great opportunity for someone early in their engineering or technical career who enjoys working with drawings, solving problems, and turning technical information into products that can be manufactured.

In this role, you’ll work alongside engineers and manufacturing teams to create and update product drawings, bills of material, part numbers, engineering changes, and other documentation used to manufacture our products.

If you have CAD or technical drawing experience through college, BOCES, vocational training, an internship, or hands‑on manufacturing experience, we encourage you to apply.

As a Design Engineering Technician, you will:

• Create, review, revise, and improve engineering drawings for products and components.
• Create new part numbers and maintain accurate product information.
• Create and update Bills of Material (BOMs).
• Review customer build‑to‑print requirements and help develop internal drawings for cable assemblies.
• Prepare and process Engineering Change Notifications (ECNs).
• Create full‑scale mylars and other production aids when needed.
• Work directly with New Product Introduction (NPI) assemblers during product and drawing prove‑outs.
• Communicate drawing changes, specifications, and technical requirements to manufacturing and NPI teams.
• Partner with engineers to interpret specifications, dimensions, drawings, and product requirements.
• Identify drawing or documentation issues and help develop practical solutions.
• Support continuous improvement and 5S activities.
• Maintain organized and accurate engineering documentation.
• Communicate with customers regarding technical or build‑to‑print requirements when appropriate and under engineering direction.
• Follow all safety requirements and contribute to our goal of zero workplace incidents.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

We’re looking for someone who is detail‑oriented, technically curious, organized, and eager to learn.

• Associate degree in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Technology, Drafting, CAD, or a related technical field preferred.
• High school technical, vocational, or BOCES‑style training involving CAD or technical drawing will also be considered.
• 0–2 years of experience in drafting, design, engineering, or manufacturing preferred.
• Internship, co‑op, vocational training, and school‑based project experience count.
• Previous manufacturing or engineering experience is helpful, but not required.

• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, dimensions, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Experience with Solid Works, Draft Sight, Creo, or similar CAD software.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to follow engineering standards and established procedures.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working with engineering, manufacturing, and other cross‑functional teams.
• Ability to work independently while being a strong team contributor.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including intermediate Excel skills.
• Strong organization, problem‑solving, and time‑management skills.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and changing priorities in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.
