Remote CAD Draftsperson / Technical VA

Work Location: Remote (Philippines-based)

Shift: Full-Time (Australian Business Hours)

Target Turnaround: 2 to 3 days per drawing package (moving toward 48-hour SLA)

About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly proficient Remote CAD Draftsperson / Technical Virtual Assistant to support our growing engineering and fabrication operations in Australia.

In this role, you will work directly with our lead design engineers to take existing 3D models in Autodesk Fusion 360 and convert them into complete, manufacturing-ready 2D CAD packages, detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs), and ready-to-quote supplier export files.

This role is strictly focused on drafting support, documentation, and quotation package prep—not independent mechanical product design.

Key Responsibilities
2D CAD Drawing Creation: Convert complex 3D assembly models (Fusion 360) into detailed, standardized 2D fabrication drawings (PDF format) with clean dimensioning, tolerances, weld notes, and material specifications.

Flat Pattern & Part Exports: Generate clean DXF/DWG files for sheet metal parts and CNC laser cutting/folding operations.

BOM Generation: Extract, structure, and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) in spreadsheet format for hardware, structural components, and raw materials.

Supplier Package Prep: Assemble complete, organized quote and production packages for third-party manufacturers and suppliers.

Workflow & Turnaround: Maintain a fast, accurate 2- to 3-day turnaround per project package while adhering to standardized quality control guidelines set by lead engineers.

Required Qualifications & Skills
Software Expertise: Advanced proficiency in Autodesk Fusion 360 (3D modeling to 2D drawing layout, sheet metal environment, flat pattern exports).

Industry Background: Solid background or practical exposure to metal fabrication, sheet metal work, CNC machining, or structural assembly (a practical draftsperson/fabrication background is preferred over a pure mechanical design engineer).

Technical Literacy: Ability to read blue-prints, interpret geometric dimensioning and tolerances (GD&T), and understand real-world manufacturing constraints (bend allowances, kerf, hardware clearance).

Tooling: Proficient with Google Workspace, Excel, and organized cloud folder structures.

Communication: Excellent written and spoken English communication skills for asynchronous and direct daily collaboration.
