Description

We're seeking a detail-oriented and technically skilled CAD Production Drafter / Engineer to bridge the gap between design and manufacturing. You'll be responsible for translating complex cabinet and millwork designs into precise, machine-ready production files — ensuring accuracy, consistency, and manufacturability at every stage.

This position plays a key role in standardizing production workflows, supporting engineering documentation, and coordinating with internal and overseas drafting resources as the department continues to grow.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in CAD drafting, millwork engineering, or production design.
  • Proficiency in 2D and 3D CAD software (AutoCAD or equivalent).
  • Ability to produce precise, buildable shop drawings from architectural or conceptual designs.
  • Understanding of cabinetry construction methods, joinery, and woodworking techniques.
  • Familiarity with CNC manufacturing, nesting, and panel processing.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on execution.
  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
  • Knowledge of hardware systems (e.g., BLUM, Häfele) and standard installation methods.
  • Preferred : Experience preparing CNC programs, using CAM / Nesting software, or working on architectural markups and redlines.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare detailed shop drawings, part lists, and engineering documentation from architectural plans or design sketches.
  • Create and manage machine-ready CNC files, including DXF layouts, nesting, and toolpath outputs.
  • Translate design intent into accurate, buildable cabinetry and millwork components.
  • Coordinate closely with project managers, CNC operators, and production teams to ensure accuracy and feasibility.
  • Specify required hardware, accessories, and components per standard systems.
  • Maintain and organize drawing libraries and support standardization of construction methods.
  • Participate in design reviews and assist with technical issue resolution during fabrication.
  • Identify and implement improvements in CAD-to-production workflows.
  • As the department expands, assist in onboarding and managing additional CAD personnel, including overseas collaborators.
  • Benefits

    After 60 days of employment, employees are eligible for a full benefits package, including :

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid time off and holidays
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Employee discounts
  • Training and professional growth opportunities
  • Supportive, detail-oriented, and collaborative work environment
  • Final Invitation to Apply

    This is an exciting opportunity for a precise and ambitious CAD professional who thrives on turning design concepts into production reality. If you take pride in accuracy, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
