We are seeking an experienced Manufacturing CAD Engineer to join an innovative team focused on advanced off-site construction and manufacturing. This position is ideal for someone with a strong background in CAD modeling, virtual fabrication, and design-for-manufacturing who enjoys improving processes and collaborating across engineering and production teams.

This is a hybrid opportunity for candidates based in California. The role is primarily remote, with occasional travel to a manufacturing facility in Tejon Ranch, CA for team collaboration and project support.

Key Responsibilities
Convert Revit models and construction drawings into manufacturing-ready CAD and CAM files.
Produce detailed shop drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), cut lists, and fabrication documentation.
Support material planning, production workflows, and project costing through accurate modeling and documentation.
Develop and improve virtual build processes from design through manufacturing.
Create and maintain CAD standards, procedures, and quality control processes.
Perform quality assurance reviews to ensure design accuracy before production.
Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and project teams to resolve design challenges.
Participate in research and development initiatives focused on improving manufacturing efficiency.
Prepare technical presentations and documentation as needed.
Ensure compliance with company safety, quality, and operational standards.
Assist with additional engineering projects as assigned.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Architecture, Building Science, or a related technical field.
Minimum of 4 years of experience in building design or structural modeling.
At least 3 years of experience using 3D CAD software, preferably Cadwork.
Experience creating shop drawings, coordination drawings, installation documents, and fabrication packages.
Understanding of manufacturing environments and production workflows.
Experience with modular, prefabricated, or panelized construction is highly preferred.
Ability to interpret structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection (SMEPF) construction documents.
Knowledge of light-frame construction methods; experience with heavy timber or mass timber is a plus.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
Excellent organizational, communication, and time management skills.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office.
Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.

What's In It for You
Starting salary of $120,000+, depending on experience.
Hybrid work schedule with the flexibility to work remotely.
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
Performance-based bonus opportunities and long-term incentive potential.
