We are a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-end interior fixtures for luxury watch and jewelry stores seeking a Remote CAD Drafter. Our company builds custom display showcases and millwork for global brands, and with demand growing rapidly, we’re looking for a skilled drafter to help translate design intent into detailed, buildable shop drawings.
In this role, you’ll take PDFs or concept drawings and convert them into precise technical drawings that can be handed directly to the manufacturing team. You’ll need to think through how each fixture is constructed - integrating wood, metal, glass, and lighting - and produce clean, build-ready plans that account for structure, wiring, finish layers, and installation methods.
The ideal candidate has strong AutoCAD skills, a background in furniture or millwork drafting, and experience preparing technical drawings for fabrication. The role also requires the ability to create 3D renderings when needed, particularly in cases where the team is helping visualize or design a space for a client.
