Insight Global; Lynchburg (VA); On-site; USD 80,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Insight Global is seeking a SolidWorks CAD Designer to model and draft fire-protection equipment, I&C enclosures, sensors, and related mechanical components, translating specifications into 3D models and drawings.

The role emphasizes mechanical representation of electrical equipment over schematic design, with collaboration across mechanical, electrical I&C, and fire-protection engineers to apply GD&T and revision-control standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
• At least five years of experience supporting instrumentation, controls, electrical controls, automation, or safety-related systems.
• Experience reviewing technical requirements, control-system descriptions, software-requirement specifications, or implementation documents.
• Working knowledge of control-system functions such as set points, alarms, permissives, interlocks, equipment states, and operability requirements.
• Experience working in a nuclear, power-generation, defense, aerospace, or other safety-related environment.
• Ability to perform detailed, task-focused document reviews and clearly document discrepancies, comments, and recommended corrections.
• Commercial nuclear, DOE nuclear facility, or advanced-reactor project experience.
• Experience reviewing safety-related or quality-affecting software and control-system requirements.
• Familiarity with nuclear quality-assurance, configuration-management, and document-control requirements.
• Experience translating functional or system-level descriptions into implementation-level requirements.
• Previous experience with independent verification, two-person review, or comparable quality-review practices.
• Ability to work independently while escalating questions through an established technical lead.

Responsibilities

• Translate engineering specifications into complete 3D models and production-quality drawings.
• Evaluate component fit, mounting, clearances, and interfaces.
• Collaborate with electrical I&C and fire-protection engineers to incorporate feedback and design changes.
• Maintain drafting standards and revision-control requirements.
• Review safety-related or quality-affecting software and control-system requirements.
