Mechanical Drafter (CAD Drafter)
Location: Remote – Philippines (collaborating daily with the U.S. team)
Employment Type: Full time

We’re looking for a skilled, detail oriented Mechanical Drafter to support a growing U.S. based manufacturer of advanced X ray inspection systems. Our systems help industries like medical device manufacturing and electronics inspect with speed and precision, and every machine starts with clear, accurate drawings. You’ll turn engineering concepts into production ready documentation that our manufacturing team can build from with confidence, working in SolidWorks 2026 daily with a strong focus on sheet metal design. This is a role for someone who takes initiative, communicates with confidence, and takes real pride in getting the details right, collaborating daily with our U.S. based engineering team.

Benefits and Compensation

• Permanent Work from Home
• Paid Time Off
• Monthly Performance Bonus
• Annual Bonus
• Health Allowance
• Internet Allowance

What you’ll do

• Mechanical Drafting & 3D Modeling: Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models in SolidWorks 2026 for new parts, assemblies, and product revisions, including enclosures, frames, brackets, and other mechanical components of our inspection systems.
• Sheet Metal Design: Design and detail sheet metal parts and assemblies, applying sound fabrication principles such as bend allowances, flat pattern development, K factors, and material thickness considerations.
• Drawing Standards & Documentation: Produce clean, fully dimensioned drawing packages with correct tolerances, notes, and metric units, following company drafting standards and ready to send to fabricators and suppliers.
• Metric Compliance & Quality Checks: Review your own drawings for accuracy before submission, confirming all dimensions, tolerances, and callouts are correctly expressed in the metric system.
• Bill of Materials & Revision Control: Maintain accurate bills of materials and update drawings promptly in response to engineering change requests, keeping revision history clean and traceable.
• Cross Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the U.S. based engineering team to clarify design intent, answer fabrication questions, and keep projects moving on schedule.

What you’ll bring

• Diploma or degree in Mechanical Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands on experience
• Proven experience working in SolidWorks 2026 (or a recent version), with strong core mechanical drafting skills
• Experience with sheet metal design is preferred
• Solid understanding of the metric system and the ability to check and confirm drawings are dimensioned correctly
• Familiarity with GD&T, fasteners, and manufacturing processes such as machining and fabrication is a plus
• Experience drafting for machinery, equipment, or electromechanical products is a plus
• Strong attention to detail and a habit of catching errors before they leave your desk
• A self starter who takes initiative and follows through with minimal supervision
• A confident communicator who is comfortable discussing your work and reasoning through design questions with the team. A moderately outgoing personality is welcome, and nervousness about presenting or defending your work is not a good fit here.
