[Hiring] AutoCAD Detailer - Drawing Specialist @Workana

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced CAD Detailer / Shop Drawing Specialist to convert completed 3D models and design intent into accurate, production-ready shop drawings and client submittal packages. This is a high-volume, detail-oriented role supporting multiple simultaneous fabrication jobs involving sheet metal, weldments, castings, and assemblies. Standard drawing packages are typically expected within 24–48 hours.

• Convert 3D models from Inventor, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and other source formats into fully dimensioned 2D shop drawings using AutoCAD.
• Produce fabrication drawings for laser-cut sheet metal, press brake components, welded assemblies, cast iron and aluminum parts, powder-coated assemblies, and wood components.
• Prepare complete submittal packages including title blocks, bills of materials, finish specifications, notes, dimensions, and revision clouds.
• Apply established drawing standards, including layer conventions, annotation styles, tolerance callouts, and title blocks.
• Work with STEP/IGES exports, DXF files, PDF markups, and SolidWorks Pack and Go archives.
• Identify and flag fabrication concerns such as bend-radius conflicts, material mismatches, and tolerance stack-ups before drawings are released.
• Maintain accurate file naming, drawing revisions, and version control.
• Communicate asynchronously with the design team to resolve drawing ambiguities and technical questions.
• Deliver accurate work consistently within short production timelines.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience producing fabrication drawings, shop drawings, or manufacturing drawings.
• Strong proficiency with AutoCAD, particularly 2D detailing, dimensions, layers, title blocks, and viewports.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks and/or Autodesk Inventor for working with 3D source models.
• Ability to interpret 3D models and STEP/IGES/PDF files and translate them into accurate 2D production drawings.
• Solid understanding of sheet metal fabrication, including bend allowances, K-factors, and flat patterns.
• Knowledge of AWS weld symbols and weld-joint detailing.
• Experience with GD&T and tolerancing for fabricated metal components.
• Experience preparing and maintaining Bills of Materials (BOMs) and drawing revisions.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify potential manufacturability issues.
• Professional English communication skills.
• Reliable internet connection and a secure workstation suitable for handling confidential client files.

Requirements

• Experience with Autodesk Inventor or Fusion 360.
• SolidWorks experience, particularly working with Pack and Go archives.
• Knowledge of Trumpf laser cutting or press brake processes.
• Experience creating drawings for cast iron or aluminum components.
• Knowledge of powder-coat and surface-finish callouts.
• Experience with architectural site furnishings, street furniture, or similar manufactured products.
• Experience preparing submittal packages for construction or public-works projects.

Benefits

• Compensation in USD.
• Fully remote work.
• Flexible part-time or full-time engagement.
• Long-term potential based on performance and business needs.
• Opportunity to work directly with a U.S.-based manufacturing operation on real-world architectural and fabrication projects.
