The CAD Design Engineer is responsible for preparing, maintaining, and updating detailed design documentation in support of audiovisual (AV) and systems integration projects. This role supports project teams by producing accurate AutoCAD drawings, design packages, and technical documentation used for estimating, fabrication, and installation.

This is a part-time, fully remote position focused primarily on design, coordination, and documentation activities. This role will work approximately 2-32 hours per week depending on project needs.

•  Attend remote design and coordination meetings with internal teams to support projects in various phases of planning and execution.

•  Develop and revise CAD drawings, including:

• System schematics
• Line and single-line diagrams
• Rack elevations
• Room layouts and routing plans

•  Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and implementation teams during kickoff and design review phases to confirm and document:

• Building and room layouts
• Cable conveyance paths (conduit, tray, raised floor)
• Power requirements and infrastructure
• Plenum and non-plenum spaces
• Signal and transport formats (e.g., 3G, 12G, IP-based systems)

•  Apply ASG drafting standards, including cable color codes, labeling conventions, and documentation best practices.

•  Assist with the creation, reconciliation, and review of Bills of Materials (BOMs) to ensure alignment with design documentation.

•  Perform design quality reviews to identify missing equipment, discrepancies, or drawing errors prior to fabrication or installation.

•  Generate wire lists, cable pull sheets, and other installation-ready documentation from approved designs.

•  Maintain red-line changes and incorporate field updates into AutoCAD drawings as required.

•  Prepare final design packages for distribution to engineering, fabrication, and installation teams.

•  Support engineering and integration teams by addressing design-related questions throughout the project lifecycle.

•  Ensure all design documentation aligns with ASG standards, project requirements, and industry best practices.

Competencies:  

• Strong AutoCAD drafting and technical documentation skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
• Ability to interpret AV and low-voltage system designs.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Effective time-management and organizational skills.
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a fully remote environment.
• Problem-solving and analytical thinking.

Required Qualifications & Experience:  

• Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Drafting, Design, or a related technical field, or equivalent professional experience.
• Minimum of three (3) years of experience producing CAD drawings for AV, low-voltage, or systems integration projects.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and related documentation tools.
• Working knowledge of AV systems, signal flow, and structured cabling infrastructure preferred.
• Familiarity with construction and installation documentation standards is a plus.
