Mechanical Design Drafter | SolidWorks | Canberra | Australian Citizenship A well-established Australian advanced technology company is expanding its Canberra engineering team and has multiple openings for Mechanical Design Drafters. These are hands-on detailing and design roles supporting the development of complex, precision-critical hardware across two major programs - ideal for drafters who can take a preliminary concept and carry it through to a complete, manufacture-ready detailed design.

What you’ll do

- Produce detailed 3D models and manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks, working from preliminary designs and concepts provided by the engineering team
- Develop and detail components and assemblies, not just draft to instruction - bringing your own design judgement to how parts go together and how they’ll be made
- Create clear, manufacture-ready drawings with correct GD&T; and tolerancing
- Manage models, revisions and data integrity in SolidWorks PDM
- Work closely with design engineers and manufacturers across the full delivery lifecycle, supporting multiple concurrent projects

What we’re looking for





- Solid experience in mechanical drafting and detailed design (not purely drafting-to-instruction)
- Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, and experience working within SolidWorks PDM
- The ability to develop detailed designs from preliminary concepts, and sound judgement around design-for-manufacture
- Confident with GD&T; and dimensional tolerancing
- Australian citizenship required

Highly regarded

- Experience with precision, defence, aerospace, or other complex engineered hardware
- SolidWorks PDM administration experience
- An existing security clearance, or eligibility and willingness to obtain one (required for at least one of these positions)

What’s on offer

- Three positions available, across a growing engineering team on genuinely interesting technical programs
- Full-time, in office in Canberra
- Competitive remuneration dependent on experience
- The chance to work on complex, precision hardware alongside a high-calibre engineering group
