About The Position

Valkyrie has an immediate need for a Drafter II who will provide key support for Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State (DoS) and other US Federal Government Electrical and Electronic Systems drafting requirements. Under general supervision, assist with the development of engineering drawings, plans and sketches. This role is located in Norfolk, VA. The Drafter II uses AutoCAD and other drafting tools to prepare and assist in the development of engineering drawings, plans, and sketches. They produce drawings that include complex design features requiring considerable drafting skills to visualize and portray. The role involves reading, interpreting, and drawing electrical, electronic, and electro-mechanical diagrams and schematics. The Drafter II will directly interface with upper management, engineers, and senior DoD personnel on plans and/or status of projects deadlines. They must understand and adhere to DoD, customer, and company policies and practices while updating and maintaining drawing tracking databases using AutoCAD, Microsoft Office Suite (I.e., Project and Excel), and other software-based applications. This position performs drafting for a wide spectrum of assignments requiring alternative analysis, innovation, and judgment based on standards. The Drafter II assumes responsibility for contributing to the success of major or multiple projects with minimal supervision. They provide engineering assistance in preparing project packages for installation, and As-Built drawings. The role involves updating various engineering drawings per drawing standards and utilizing government-provided redline drawings and/or other changes to update technical data packages and drawings for final release. The Drafter II will update and maintain drawing tracking databases and participate in surveys at customer’s site (may include austere locations within and outside of the Continental United States). Assignments require the use of mathematical formulas to draw and work from sketches and models, using verbal or written information supplied by engineering staff and designers. The role resolves routine problems with little to no supervisor input.
