Description
Prepare detailed 2D/3D drawings, wiring and cable harness diagrams, control panel layouts, and electromechanical assembly documents for the manufacture, installation, and repair of integrated electrical-mechanical equipment.
- • Draft 2D/3D working drawings, wiring and cable harness diagrams, and assembly details for electromechanical systems.
- • Create control panel layouts, enclosure cutouts, and mounting hole patterns with exact dimensions.
- • Assemble documentation packages and drawing sets for engineering review and release.
- • Consult with mechanical, electrical, and controls engineers to interpret design intent and define drafting requirements.
- • Review completed drawings, bills of materials, and estimates for accuracy and compliance with codes and company standards.
- • Examine schematics, P&IDs, or device datasheets to compute and verify dimensions, tolerances, and specifications.
- • Resolve design and fabrication issues by conferring with engineering, manufacturing, and field staff.
- • Produce detailed assembly and exploded-view drawings for motors, actuators, sensors, gearboxes, and brackets.
- • Measure site and equipment factors affecting installation, such as cable lengths, bend radii, clearances, and service access.
- • Manage CAD files and project data; retrieve, update, and archive models and drawings in PDM/PLM systems.
- • Lay out power distribution, control circuits, and I/O terminations for machines, panels, or skids.
- • Prepare master sketches showing new equipment relative to existing facilities with exact sizes and datum references.
- • Review work orders to determine required services, loads, environmental ratings, and regulatory constraints.
- • Communicate drawings and revisions to production or construction teams and issue redlines as needed.
- • Coordinate with vendors and designers to resolve component fit, wiring methods, or mounting changes.
- • Reproduce and revise drawings per change orders, maintaining revision history and title block data.
- • Configure CAD settings, templates, and design rules; run checks to validate clearances and standards.
- • Lead and coordinate drafters or technicians engaged in layout, detailing, or assembly documentation.
- • Verify 3D models against schematics and layout requirements; calculate offsets for routing and alignment.
- • Determine presentation methods and views, including orthographic, isometric, section, and detail callouts.
- • Review customer drawings/specs to capture requirements and consult with assemblers on routing and build sequence.
- • Visit job sites to survey conditions, take measurements, and produce field sketches for as-built updates.
- • Specify hole sizes, threads, cable glands, strain reliefs, and fasteners per design and standards.
- • Prepare brief technical reports, parts lists, and charts summarizing design data and statistics.
- • Create and update fabrication drawings for sheet metal, machined parts, wiring harnesses, and panel assemblies.
- • Train staff on CAD tools and drafting practices for electromechanical, wiring, and control drawings.
- • Prepare and interpret specifications; calculate weights, center of gravity, heat dissipation, or basic stresses.
- • Supervise or mentor other drafters, technicians, or technologists and review their work for quality.
- • Use CAD and drafting tools (e.g., 2D/3D CAD, electrical CAD, hand tools, calculators, standards handbooks).
- • Define test points, labeling, and access for commissioning, diagnostics, and maintenance.
