- Translate design concepts, engineering direction, and functional requirements into clear, complete, and accurate drawings that fully communicate design intent.
- Apply and review geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5 to support manufacturability, inspection, and functional performance.
- Partner with design engineers to support CAD design for new product development activities, including concept development, design iterations, design reviews, and risk reduction efforts.
- Deliver complete drawing packages, including models, drawings, bills of materials, notes, and supporting documentation required for manufacturing and inspection.
- Support commercial product lines through drawing updates, engineering changes, specification revisions, and documentation needed for design changes, CAPAs, and NCRs.
- Interface with design, process, quality, and supplier engineering to clarify drawing requirements, address technical questions, and support issue resolution.
- Ensure compliance with applicable industry standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., ASME, ISO, 21 CFR Part 820) in drafting and documentation practices.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement and standardization of CAD templates, drawing practices, and drafting workflows within the design engineering function.
- Mentor and provide technical guidance to less-experienced CAD users, supporting consistent quality and skill development across the team.
Required Qualifications- Associate's degree or technical certification in Drafting, Design Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related discipline, with a minimum of 8 years of progressive CAD drafting experience; or Bachelor's degree with a minimum of 6 years of relevant experience
- Advanced proficiency with 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CREO, or equivalent), including complex assemblies and configuration management
- Demonstrated expertise in creating detailed engineering drawings per ASME standards and applying GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards
- Experience working within a regulated quality system and supporting design documentation for highly regulated industries (e.g., medical devices, aerospace, automotive)
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, inspection methods, and design for manufacturability principles
- Demonstrated ability to apply engineering change information, redlines, and technical direction to produce complete and accurate drawings which are ready for manufacturing and inspection
- Proven ability to manage multiple drafting assignments, prioritize work, and meet project timelines with minimal supervision
- Effective verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with technical and non-technical partners
- Demonstrated commitment to fostering an inclusive work environment and collaborating respectfully with diverse teams
- Ability to travel up to 5%
Desired Qualifications- Experience contributing to drafting standards development, template creation, or CAD system optimization initiatives
- Advanced certifications such as CSWP, ASME GD&T Professional (GDTP), or equivalent technical credentials
- Experience producing and maintaining complex drawing packages for released products, including support of engineering changes, drawing revisions, and documentation updates in a production environment
