Home Based Cad Drafting Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Overview

We're hiring a CAD Drafting Technician to support our engineering team with accurate 3D modeling, drafting, and assembly layout work across ongoing product development and legacy product updates. This role partners tightly with design engineers, controls engineers, and international stakeholders to translate detailed 2D layouts and specifications into clean, usable 3D models and multi-part assemblies.

You'll work in a mixed environment: sometimes taking existing historical models from our library and making strategic revisions, and other times building models from scratch based on engineer-provided prints and requirements. The best fit is someone who is detail-driven, comfortable collaborating in fast engineering cycles, and confident building complex assemblies-while staying disciplined on CAD standards, file organization, and revision control.

Responsibilities

• 3D Modeling & Assembly Build - Create accurate 3D parts and assemblies from 2D layouts, prints, and engineer-provided specs; model components with practical clearances and fit considerations to support downstream engineering.
• Drafting & Drawing Support - Produce or update 2D drawings as needed to support engineering documentation, manufacturing, and internal review (including basic callouts and layout support).
• Engineer Partnership & Iteration - Work directly with design and controls engineers to iterate models quickly, incorporate feedback, and support final tolerance application and design intent verification.
• Legacy Model Updates - Pull from historical CAD library to revise existing models, adjust geometry strategically, and modernize assemblies while preserving intent and standardization.
• From-Scratch Design Support - Build new models and assemblies from detailed engineering handoffs, maintaining clean modeling practices and structure for future reuse and edits.
• Complex Assembly Management - Support complicated, multi-component assemblies (often 100+ parts) with strong discipline around constraints, naming, BOM structure, and file organization.
• Cross-Functional / International Coordination - Collaborate with engineering partners across departments and geographies to align CAD outputs, ensure documentation clarity, and support global engineering workflows.
• CAD Standards & Data Hygiene - Maintain organized files, revision discipline, and modeling standards to ensure engineering can reliably reuse, modify, and tolerance models over time.
• Manufacturability Awareness - Apply practical shop-floor thinking-clearances, stack-ups, envelope constraints, and basic tolerance awareness-so models reflect real-world build considerations before final engineering tolerancing.
• Continuous Improvement Support - Help improve internal CAD workflows, templates, libraries, and modeling conventions to reduce rework and accelerate engineering throughput.

Requirements

Required

• 5+ years of professional CAD drafting/modeling experience supporting engineers (design, controls, manufacturing, or tooling).
• Proficiency in Autodesk CAD tools (or strong equivalent experience with demonstrated ability to ramp quickly into Autodesk environments).
• Strong ability to translate 2D layouts/prints into clean 3D models and assemblies with disciplined structure and constraints.
• Experience building and maintaining multi-part assemblies, including modeling best practices that enable iterative design updates.
• Strong attention to detail and file discipline: organization, naming conventions, revision control, and clean modeling methodology.
• Comfortable working in a collaborative workflow where engineers drive design intent and you drive modeling quality, speed, and accuracy.
• Clear communicator who can coordinate across teams, clarify missing inputs, and keep work moving without constant oversight.

Preferred

• Experience supporting industrial automation, tooling, or equipment design (especially complex equipment with tight packaging constraints).
• Experience with 100+ part assemblies, structured CAD libraries, and reusable modular model systems.
• Familiarity with manufacturing realities: clearances, tolerance stack-up basics, fit-up, envelope constraints, and assembly sequencing considerations.
• Experience collaborating with international engineering teams and supporting shared CAD standards across locations.
• AAS or BS in Drafting/Design, Mechanical Design, Manufacturing, or related technical discipline (or equivalent hands-on experience).
