• Associate degree in CADD, Drafting Technology, or equivalent technical experience.
• 5+ years of professional drafting experience, including mechanical manufacturing drawings and 2D cable/wiring harness documentation.
• Experience with 2D/3D CAD software, such as SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or AutoCAD Electrical.
• Working knowledge of PDM/PLM systems and engineering document control.
• Strong understanding of ASME Y14.5 and GD&T.
• Familiarity with IPC/WHMA-A-620 and wire harness/cable assembly documentation.
• Knowledge of connector callouts, pinouts, wire specifications, and BOM creation.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics.
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing accurate, manufacturing-ready documentation.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Arena PLM.
• Experience with Altium or similar electronics design-capture software.
• Experience supporting products that combine mechanical assemblies, electronics, cables, and wiring.
• Experience working in an engineering, manufacturing, or advanced product development environment.

Responsibilities

• Create detailed 2D mechanical manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly drawings from 3D CAD models.
• Develop 2D electrical interconnect documentation, including cable assemblies, wire harnesses, point-to-point wiring, and system/sub-system wiring diagrams.
• Apply dimensions, GD&T, wire specifications, pinouts, surface finishes, title blocks, and BOMs in accordance with ASME Y14.5 and company standards.
• Prepare clear documentation for manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and engineering review.
• Process ECOs and ECNs and maintain accurate drawing revisions.
• Work directly with Mechanical and Electrical Engineers to interpret markups, clarify tolerances, verify wiring and pinout intent, and resolve drawing discrepancies.
• Maintain organized CAD libraries, cable and connector symbol libraries, and engineering documentation within PDM/PLM systems.
• Help maintain consistent drafting standards, templates, revision practices, and document-control processes.
• Identify documentation issues that could impact manufacturing, assembly, inspection, or product performance.
