CAD Designer

Role and Responsibilities

JMS Southeast is a small, growing company built on our ability to turn custom engineering challenges into finished temperature sensor designs. Our customers come to us because we can deliver what larger, slower organizations cannot: creative, high-quality custom solutions in days, not weeks or months. We are looking for a CAD Draftsman to join our engineering department, turning engineering concepts and customer requirements into accurate, production-ready models and drawings in Solid Edge.

What You’ll Own

• Produce accurate 3D models, part drawings, and assembly drawings in Solid Edge for custom temperature sensor designs scoped to customer requirements
• Translate engineers' sketches, notes, and verbal direction into clean, dimensioned CAD drawings, creating and maintaining BOMs and related content in the ERP system
• Collaborate closely with engineers to work through complex modeling and drafting challenges as they arise
• Follow and help refine CAD drafting standards, workflows, and best practices within Solid Edge to ensure quality, consistency, and speed across all deliverables
• Check and redline your own and others' drawings for accuracy, completeness, and adherence to company standards before release
• Manage your own drafting queue against project deadlines, flagging conflicts or capacity issues early
• Support the design and creation of new tools and jigs as needed, and flag process or tooling gaps that slow down the team
• Bring craftsmanship to every drawing, treating fast and right as equally important
• Work cross-functionally with manufacturing, purchasing and sales to answer drawing questions and keep customer commitments on track

Qualifications and Education Requirements

• Demonstrated hands-on mechanical aptitude — you understand how things are made, and your drawings reflect that
• Practical proficiency in Solid Edge or similar CAD systems (minimum 2 years) with a strong command of modeling standards, part drafting, and assembly workflows—machined part experience a plus
• Hierarchical CAD library file management skills a plus
• Proven experience producing production-ready drawings in a professional or educational setting
• Strong organizational instincts and clear, proactive communication when priorities shift
• The initiative to catch questions or errors early and raise them rather than guessing
• Willingness to take direction and feedback from the engineering team, and to learn our specific drafting standards quickly
