Job description

Looking for an Engineering Drafter to support its engineering and manufacturing teams by creating, updating, and maintaining 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings.

The person will work closely with Designers and Engineers to convert product designs into accurate technical drawings that can be used for manufacturing and production.

This role will also involve managing engineering changes, updating Bills of Materials (BOMs), maintaining engineering documentation, and coordinating with departments such as manufacturing, quality, and supply chain.

This is an entry-level opportunity suited to someone with a background in mechanical drafting, CAD design, or engineering technology who wants to grow within a manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, revise, and maintain 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings.
• Prepare accurate, detailed, and production-ready technical drawings.
• Work with Designers and Engineers to support product design updates and modifications.
• Manage Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).
• Update CAD models, engineering drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) as required.
• Coordinate engineering changes with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams.
• Maintain accurate engineering records and documentation within Product Data Management (PDM) systems.
• Assist in identifying opportunities to improve drawing standards, processes, and product costs.
• Help resolve drawing and documentation issues that may affect manufacturing and production.

Qualifications

Required:

• Associate degree or technical diploma in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related field. Equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks (preferred), Autodesk Inventor, Creo, or similar tools.
• Basic understanding of 2D engineering drawings, dimensions, and tolerances.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred

• 2+ years of experience in engineering drafting, mechanical drafting, or design support.
• Previous experience in a manufacturing environment.
• Experience with sheet metal, weldments, foam components, or mechanical assemblies.
• Knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Familiarity with PDM systems and engineering change management (ECR/ECO).
• Exposure to ERP systems and manufacturing processes such as fabrication, machining, and assembly.
• Experience updating BOMs and maintaining engineering documentation.
