Proven ability to work through iterative design processes and contribute meaningfully to design improvements.

Familiarity with steel fabrication and glazing strongly preferred.
Who You Are
A detail-oriented professional who sees drafting as part of the product development team, not just a service provider.

Skilled in managing multiple versions, legacy designs, and evolving product libraries.
Clear communicator who can advocate for what's needed to complete work accurately and on time.
What We Offer
