Drafter/Designer 25-40/HR

CAD Drafter / Designer (Solid Edge CAD)

New Product Development | 100% Remote Option | Solid Edge

Are you the type of CAD professional who enjoys transforming engineering concepts into detailed, manufacturing-ready drawings? Do you prefer being part

of a product development team bringing new technology to market rather than supporting the same legacy projects year after year?

We're partnering with an innovative manufacturer of diagnostic and analytical testing equipment used in highly regulated, safety-critical environments. The engineering team is expanding to support three exciting new product development programs, and they are looking for a CAD Drafter/ Designer to help accelerate development efforts

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

100% Remote Option Available

Work from anywhere for the right candidate, while remaining connected to a collaborative R&D and engineering team.

Exciting New Product Development

Support multiple next-generation product initiatives currently moving through the development cycle. This is not a maintenance role. You'll be helping bring

new products to life.

Strong Solid Edge Environment: Solid Edge experience is highly preferred, though strong SolidWorks users will also be considered. If you enjoy working in CAD every day, this role puts your

technical skills front and center.

High-Impact Engineering Work

Your drawings will directly support manufacturing, production readiness, and product launches. You'll work closely with engineers and product development

teams to ensure designs move efficiently from concept to reality.

Advanced Products with Real-World

Impact: Support the development of sophisticated diagnostic and analytical testing equipment utilized in regulated testing and public safety applications.

What You'll Be Doing

• Create detailed manufacturing and production drawings from existing CAD models
• Convert engineering concepts into production-ready documentation
• Support engineering teams with revisions, updates, and engineering changes
• Collaborate with R&D teams across multiple development programs
• Participate in project reviews, planning sessions, and technical discussions

What We're Looking For

• Strong experience with Solid Edge (preferred) or SolidWorks
• Mechanical drafting and CAD documentation experience
• Ability to create detailed manufacturing drawings from existing models
• Experience supporting engineering, manufacturing, or product development teams
• Strong attention to detail and documentation practices
• Injection molded plastics experience is a strong plus

Compensation

$25-$40/hour depending on experience

If you're looking for a role where you can leverage your CAD expertise, support innovative new products, and enjoy the flexibility of a remote work

option, we'd love to connect.
