SolidWorks Draftsman & CNC Programmer

Drafting & Documentation (Primary Focus)

• Convert 3D assemblies into fully dimensioned 2D manufacturing drawings
• Document existing parts, assemblies, and physical templates into production ready prints
• Generate flat patterns, bend allowances, and forming details for sheet metal
• Create CNC ready profiles for metal, wood and composite components (walls, panels, interior structures)
• Accurately measure and model complex curves, radiuses, and irregular geometries from real-world parts
• Break down assemblies into individual parts and subassemblies
• Revise drawings based on shop feedback and as built conditions

PDM & Engineering Control

• Manage files in SolidWorks PDM (file structure, revisions, ECOs)
• Maintain organized, production ready documentation

CNC & Fabrication Support

• Support CNC programming (router and plasma table)
• Prepare files for cutting, nesting, and material optimization
• Ensure designs are manufacturable across both metal and wood processes

Production & QC Involvement

• Layout and approve body cuts on vehicles
• Review and approve welded structures and subassemblies
• Verify CNC-cut and fabricated parts match drawings and tolerances
• Perform final QC checks (fit, finish, function)
• Assist with road testing and final validation

Required Qualifications

• 2–5+ years of SolidWorks experience
• Proven experience creating 2D manufacturing drawings from 3D assemblies
• Experience documenting existing parts and converting physical components into CAD
• Strong knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, press brake operations, and welding processes
• Experience creating CNC-ready files for routers and/or plasma cutting
• Ability to accurately measure and model curves, contours, and irregular shapes
• Experience with SolidWorks PDM (file management, revision control, ECOs)
• High attention to detail with the ability to produce production-ready documentation

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate has a hybrid background in drafting and hands-on fabrication, and understands how parts are built on the shop floor.

They will typically have:

• Direct experience supporting both sheet metal fabrication and CNC router operations
• Experience documenting interior panels, cabinetry, or vehicle upfit components
• Strong understanding of how to translate physical templates or builds into accurate CAD geometry
• Familiarity with nesting, material optimization, and CNC workflows
• Comfort working between engineering, CNC, and fabrication teams to drive production forward
