What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Computer Drafter, and why are they important?

To excel as a Computer Drafter, you need strong spatial visualization, technical drawing abilities, and a background in drafting or engineering technology, often supported by a relevant associate’s degree or certification. Proficiency with computer-aided design (CAD) software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or Revit is essential for creating precise technical drawings and blueprints. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and effective communication skills help ensure accuracy and smooth collaboration with architects, engineers, and construction teams. These competencies are vital for producing clear, reliable designs that meet project requirements and industry standards.

What are some common challenges computer drafters face when working on multidisciplinary engineering projects?

Computer drafters often collaborate with engineers, architects, and other specialists on complex projects, which can present challenges such as interpreting varying design standards and managing revisions from multiple stakeholders. Balancing accuracy with quick turnaround times and ensuring that digital drawings meet all technical and regulatory requirements are also common hurdles. Strong communication skills and attention to detail help drafters navigate these challenges and contribute effectively to project teams.

What is computer drafting?

Computer drafting, often referred to as computer-aided drafting (CAD), is the use of specialized software to create precise drawings and technical illustrations. It is commonly used by architects, engineers, and designers to draft plans, blueprints, and schematics for buildings, products, and machinery. Computer drafting improves accuracy, allows for easier modifications, and streamlines the design process compared to traditional hand drafting.

What is the difference between Computer Drafting vs CAD Technician?

AspectComputer DraftingCAD Technician
CredentialsHigh school diploma or equivalent; technical trainingHigh school diploma; technical certification or associate degree often preferred
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, engineering firms, architectural firmsArchitectural, engineering, or manufacturing firms
Job FocusCreating detailed technical drawings using CAD softwarePreparing, modifying, and managing CAD drawings and models
Tools UsedCAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, etc.)AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, and other CAD programs

Computer Drafting and CAD Technicians both work with CAD software to produce technical drawings. However, Computer Drafting often emphasizes initial design and drafting, while CAD Technicians focus on managing and refining CAD models and drawings. Both roles are essential in engineering, architecture, and manufacturing industries, sharing similar skills and work environments.

Job description

CAD Drafter / CAM Programmer — Stone Countertop Fabrication

Company: Alpha Granite

Location: Austin, TX 78753 (915 W. Howard Ln.) — Onsite

Compensation: $22 to $32 per hour, depending on experience

Schedule: Onsite; 7:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., Monday – Friday (expect ~45 hours/week)

Benefits: 401(k) with company match, 10 days PTO, paid holidays, health, dental, and vision insurance

About Alpha Granite

Alpha Granite has been Central Texas's trusted countertop fabrication and installation company since 2003. As an Accredited Natural Stone Company through the Natural Stone Institute, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of quality, craftsmanship, and shop safety. We're not a big-box or high-volume production shop — we specialize in high-end residential and commercial work, the small, custom, intricate projects that other fabricators won't touch. Our material mix is increasingly premium natural stone like quartzite, alongside quartz and granite.

Our shop runs modern GMM and CMS equipment, including 5-axis and single-table CNC saws, a waterjet, multiple CNC machines, edge and face polishers, and Slabsmith for slab scanning and inventory. We run a fully wet shop and take dust control, masks, and safety compliance seriously — it's a core part of how we operate.

About the Role

We're hiring a CAD Drafter / CAM Programmer to take jobs from field templates all the way through fabrication-ready output. You'll convert templating files into clean customer and shop drawings, build the layouts our sales team uses for customer review, and program the machines once layouts are approved. This is a hands-on, technical role at the center of production — your work directly drives what gets cut, polished, and installed.

We have more than one seat to fill and may hire multiple people, so candidates at different experience levels are encouraged to apply.

What You'll Do
  • Convert DWG files from templating into customer and shop versions (DWG/DXF)
  • Build layout files for customer review and coordinate revisions with the sales team
  • Drop in sinks, edges, and faucet holes with correct profiles, radii, and tolerances
  • Add assembly, fabrication, and install notes; incorporate redlines and revisions
  • Adjust overhangs and backsplashes; apply material thickness and machine tolerances for accurate takeoffs
  • Program approved layouts for fabrication (CAM)
  • Produce 3D models and renderings as needed
  • Collaborate with project managers, templaters, and installers to catch and resolve issues early
What You Bring
  • Significant experience with CAD/CAM software — strong candidates will know several of: AutoCAD, SketchUp, Fusion 360, AlphaCAM, Easy Stone, or Slabsmith
  • Ability to read architectural drawings and translate field templates into fabrication-ready output
  • Stone countertop experience is a plus but not required — we're open to skilled drafters and programmers from adjacent fabrication or millwork backgrounds
  • Strong organization and version-control habits; comfort managing multiple jobs in a fast-paced environment
  • A professional, presentable approach to a customer-facing, team-oriented shop
  • Bilingual English/Spanish is a strong plus for daily coordination with fabrication and install teams
  • Portfolio required — please include 2 to 3 sample shop drawings or layouts with brief context
Ready to Apply?

If you're detail-driven and want your drawings and programs to directly impact daily production and quality, we'd like to meet you. Apply today.
