Drafting/CAD Technician

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Drafting/CAD Technician to support the design and development of precision semiconductor manufacturing equipment and optical systems. In this role, you will create detailed mechanical and optomechanical drawings used in high-precision, cleanroom-compatible environments. You will work closely with mechanical, optical, and process engineers to translate concepts into accurate, manufacturable designs and provide technical guidance to junior CAD staff.

What You’ll Do

• Create and maintain complex 2D and 3D CAD models and drawings for optomechanical components and assemblies
• Produce detailed fabrication drawings including GD&T, materials, finishes, and cleanliness requirements
• Support optical-mechanical integration by documenting alignment features, mounts, stages, and enclosures
• Ensure drawings comply with company standards, semiconductor industry requirements, and configuration control processes
• Manage drawing revisions, ECOs/ECNs, and PLM/PDM workflows
• Perform drawing checks for accuracy, tolerance stack-ups, and completeness prior to release
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to resolve design and documentation issues
• Support prototype builds, as-built documentation, and design-for-manufacturability efforts
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior Drafting/CAD Technicians

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications

• Associate degree or technical certification in Drafting, Mechanical Design, Engineering Technology, or a related field
• 3+ years of professional drafting/CAD experience in precision mechanical or optomechanical environments
• Proficiency in mechanical CAD software such as SolidWorks, Creo
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Experience creating detailed manufacturing drawings for machined and sheet metal parts
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical and assembly drawings

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with semiconductor manufacturing equipment or optomechanical systems
• Familiarity with cleanroom requirements, materials, and surface finishes
• Experience with PLM/PDM systems (e.g., Windchill, Teamcenter, Agile)
• Knowledge of tolerance analysis, thermal effects, and vibration considerations
• Experience supporting prototype builds and production transitions
• Experience with CNC machine tools and programming is a bonus!

Why Join Us

• Work on cutting-edge semiconductor and optical technologies
• Collaborate with highly skilled engineering teams
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Opportunities for professional growth and technical advancement

Additional Information

• This position is onsite and will have exposure to manufacturing or cleanroom-adjacent environments
• Occasional overtime may be required to meet project deadlines
