CAD Designer (Reverse Engineering)

An established and steadily growing manufacturer within the high-security and industrial equipment space is expanding its drafting team due to increased project backlog and new client demand. This is a hands-on CAD Designer role supporting production and engineering by reverse designing existing parts and components into AutoCAD.

You’ll work directly with physical parts, taking measurements, breaking down assemblies, and recreating accurate drawings for documentation, manufacturing, and future modifications. The team is lean (5–8 drafters/designers + engineering support), highly collaborative, and prioritizes training and internal development. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys practical, detail-oriented CAD work without heavy theoretical engineering requirements.

Daily responsibilities include measuring components, updating legacy drawings, organizing CAD files, and supporting production teams with accurate documentation. You’ll interact with tenured team members who will help guide standards and best practices, but you’ll also have the autonomy to own your work fairly quickly.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
