About the role

Join a fast-paced hardware development team as a CAD Technician supporting the creation of detailed mechanical drawings and 3D models for robotic systems. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys turning engineering concepts into precise, manufacturable documentation that supports fabrication and assembly.

Responsibilities

  • Create accurate mechanical drawings and 3D models for parts and assemblies used in robotic hardware
  • Translate engineering sketches, concepts, and specifications into clear production-ready documentation
  • Develop drawings that reflect proper tolerances, fits, surface finish requirements, and GD&T principles
  • Support design-for-manufacturing efforts by considering the needs of CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, and casting
  • Help maintain organized, high-quality documentation throughout the design and production process
  • Work closely with engineering and fabrication teams to ensure drawings are accurate, complete, and ready for use
  • Contribute to revision updates and engineering change processes as needed

Skills

  • At least 2 years of experience in mechanical drafting or a similar role in a manufacturing environment
  • Strong proficiency with 3D CAD software for part and assembly modeling
  • Working knowledge of GD&T and how it applies to real-world manufacturing
  • Solid understanding of mechanical tolerancing, fits, and surface finish callouts
  • Ability to interpret sketches and convert them into formal technical drawings
  • Familiarity with ASME Y14 series and/or ISO drawing standards
  • Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, error-free work

Preferred Skills

  • Experience using Onshape, especially in a cloud-based CAD environment
  • Background supporting electromechanical assemblies or robotic systems
  • Experience creating drawings for low-volume or hand-built production environments
  • Exposure to revision control tools and engineering change order processes
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills with a proactive, team-oriented mindset

Pay

The pay range for this role is $39 – $75 per hour based on qualifications and experience.
