About the job
Saronic Technologies is at the forefront of transforming maritime autonomy, committed to creating cutting-edge solutions that optimize marine operations through intelligent and autonomous platforms.
Job Overview
In the role of Mechanical CAD Drafter, you will collaborate closely with mechanical engineers and naval architects to convert innovative concepts into precise, production-ready drawings. You will be responsible for the creation and upkeep of detailed mechanical part and assembly drawings for intricate systems, such as hull structures, mechanical enclosures, mounting systems, propulsion components, and internal mechanical assemblies.
Responsibilities
Produce comprehensive 3D models and 2D mechanical drawings utilizing SolidWorks (or comparable CAD software)
Generate fabrication-ready technical drawings, incorporating GD&T, tolerances, and material specifications
Assist in the design of watertight enclosures, mechanical brackets, payload mounts, and system integration layouts
Collaborate with engineering teams to refine designs based on field test insights and functional requirements
Maintain CAD databases, manage drawing revisions, part libraries, and assembly documentation
Work alongside external fabricators and machinists to ensure the manufacturability of components
Engage in design reviews and contribute to documentation packages for prototyping and production
Ensure adherence to mechanical standards, material compatibility, and Department of Defense program requirements
Qualifications
Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Design, Drafting Technology, or a related discipline
Minimum of 2 years of mechanical drafting experience in production, prototyping, or R&D settings
Expertise in SolidWorks or similar parametric CAD software
Thorough understanding of mechanical tolerances, materials, and manufacturing processes (e.g., machining, welding, sheet metal, composites)
Exceptional organizational and file management skills
Experience designing mechanical systems for marine, aerospace, or defense industries
Familiarity with design for extreme environments (e.g., saltwater exposure, shock/vibration)
Awareness of MIL-SPECs or DoD engineering standards is a plus
