Trakka Systems is seeking a detail-oriented Mechanical Drafter & Configuration Management Specialist to serve as the bridge between engineering design and controlled documentation. This role owns three interconnected responsibilities: producing and maintaining engineering drawings and 3D models in SolidWorks, driving the Engineering Change Notice (ECN) process from creation through approval, and managing the company's part number (PN) system. The ideal candidate combines strong technical drafting skills with the organizational discipline to keep product documentation accurate, released, and traceable.
Time allocation is expected to be approximately 70% drafting and 3D modeling, 25% ECN coordination, and 5% configuration management, though the balance will shift with project and release demands.
Responsibilities:
Drafting & 3D Modeling
Create, revise, and maintain detail, assembly, and installation drawings from engineering input, sketches, redlines, and verbal direction
Build and modify 3D parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, including sheet metal, weldments, and configurations
Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (ASME Y14.5) and company drawing standards consistently; verify dimensions, tolerances, notes, and title-block data
Generate BOMs, exploded views, and revision tables directly from models
Collaborate with engineers to resolve design intent questions and incorporate feedback through iterative reviews
Maintain drawing templates, symbol libraries, and CAD file organization within the PDM/PLM system.
Engineering Change Notice (ECN) Coordination
Serve as the primary point of contact for the ECN process; draft ECNs for new and updated documents with engineering support
Compile affected-document lists, redlines, disposition of inventory/WIP, and effectivity information for each change
Lead daily and weekly ECN review meetings; drive changes through approvals with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, Purchasing, and Supply Chain
Track ECN status, follow up on open actions, and report metrics (cycle time, backlog, aging)
Ensure released documents are properly revised, archived, and distributed; retire obsolete revisions
Configuration Management
Create and assign part numbers in accordance with the company PN structure and classification rules
Maintain the item master, part attributes, and document-to-part relationships in the PDM/ERP system
Enforce revision control, release procedures, and document-numbering conventions
Audit BOMs and drawing packages for accuracy and completeness prior to release
Support product structure changes, phase-in/phase-out planning, and configuration baselines
Contribute to continuous improvement of CM procedures, work instructions, and training
Basic Qualifications:
Associate degree in Mechanical Drafting, Engineering Technology, or related field, or equivalent experience
5+ years of mechanical drafting experience in a manufacturing environment
Proficiency in SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, drawings); SolidWorks PDM or similar experience preferred
Working knowledge of GD&T, ASME Y14.5, and standard drafting practices
Hands-on experience with ECN/ECO processes and revision control
Familiarity with part numbering systems, BOM structures, and ERP/PDM tools
Strong attention to detail and ability to catch discrepancies before release
Effective communication and facilitation skills; comfortable leading cross-functional meetings and holding stakeholders to deadlines
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
Additional Qualifications:
Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) or Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) certification
Experience in a regulated or standards-driven environment (ISO 9001, AS9100, ITAR, or similar)
Exposure to manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal, welding, and assembly
Familiarity with AutoCAD or other 2D CAD tools for legacy drawings
Experience with CM standards (EIA-649) or document control certification.
