What if the drawings you create today become a luxury retail environment people walk through tomorrow?
Job Description:
What if the drawings you create today become a luxury retail environment people walk through tomorrow? We are hiring a CAD Engineer / Drafter to help transform ambitious design concepts into production-ready realities. From retail windows and custom fixtures to pop-up spaces and branded interiors, you will work on highly visible projects for some of the world’s most recognizable brands. This is not repetitive drafting. Every project presents a new mix of materials, dimensions, tolerances, and fabrication challenges. You will take ownership of customer approval drawings, detailed shop drawings, and accurate 3D models that give programmers, fabricators, and installers what they need to execute with confidence.
Responsibilities:
Translate design packs, renderings, and project quotes into clear customer approval drawings. Develop precise shop drawings and production-ready 3D CAD models with the correct material thicknesses, tolerances, and fabrication details. Collaborate with designers, project managers, programmers, fabricators, installers, and customers to solve technical issues before they reach the shop floor or jobsite. Create documentation for custom retail fixtures, interiors, windows, displays, and temporary or permanent installations. Improve drawing standards, file organization, construction methods, and workflows while delivering accurate work at a fast pace. Take occasional local field measurements in Long Island or Manhattan to support successful production and installation.
Qualifications:
Strong 3D modeling skills in Rhino, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Solid Works, or comparable CAD software. The ability to produce clean, professional approval and shop drawings that are detailed enough for fabrication. Practical knowledge of dimensioning, tolerances, material specifications, joinery, and construction methods. Experience in millwork, cabinetry, retail fixtures, exhibits, experiential environments, architectural millwork, wall panels, or a similar build-to-print setting. The speed and judgment to complete straightforward work efficiently without sacrificing precision. Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills in a collaborative, deadline-driven environment. A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your modeling and drafting capabilities. We offer a competitive base salary of $85,000-$110,000, health insurance, more than two weeks of vacation, major holidays, and your birthday off. You will join a close-knit engineering team, work alongside in-house production experts, and see your ideas move from concept to finished installation. If you are ready to create drawings that look sharp, build cleanly, and keep complex projects moving, apply now.
