Responsibilities
Develop and maintain engineering drawings and layouts using CAD tools for: Equipment room layouts and space planning, Rack elevations (front/back), RU allocations, and rack bill-of-materials, Cable routing and labeling schematics (copper/fiber), Power distribution layouts (PDUs/UPS feeds, circuit labeling, A/B power where applicable), Network diagrams where CAD-based drawings are required for deployment packages
Produce deployment-ready drawing packages including title blocks, revision history, and drawing standards
Convert field notes and site surveys into accurate “as-built” drawings, incorporating photos and measurements where needed
Ensure drawings comply with program drafting standards and are usable by field engineering teams during installation and maintenance
Establish and maintain structured knowledge repositories for engineering artifacts: Drawing libraries, templates, reusable blocks, and standard symbols, Site build packages and “as-built” documentation sets, Installation guides, runbooks, and troubleshooting references tied to site configurations
Define metadata/tagging standards so documents are searchable by site, system, CI identifiers, and version
Manage document lifecycle control: drafting → review → approval → publication → revision → retirement
Work with CM and ITSM leads to link knowledge artifacts to: configuration baselines, incidents/problems (lessons learned), approved changes/releases
Support requirements decomposition and allocation related to physical deployments (space, power, cooling, cabling)
Participate in technical reviews and deployment readiness activities by providing updated drawings and documentation evidence
Coordinate with field engineering and operations to validate documentation accuracy and capture discrepancies
Maintain a standard set of CAD templates, drawing conventions, and reusable components to improve consistency across deployments
Implement a quality checklist for drawing deliverables (completeness, labeling, scale, revision control, site identifiers)
Support audits by ensuring document traceability and controlled revision history
Qualification
Required
5+ years of experience in systems engineering, deployment engineering, or documentation engineering with significant CAD responsibilities
Proficiency with one or more CAD tools (e.g., AutoCAD, DraftSight, Revit, SolidWorks—program dependent)
Demonstrated experience producing: equipment room layouts, rack elevations, cabling and power schematics, site “as-built” packages
Strong knowledge management skills: building and maintaining structured repositories, templates, and document control workflows
Ability to work across teams (field, network, infrastructure, facilities, CM) and translate technical inputs into clear drawings and documentation
Strong written communication and attention to detail
TS/SCI clearance
Preferred
Experience with data center / telecom room documentation: MDF/IDF layouts, patch panels, fiber/copper standards
Familiarity with configuration management practices and controlled document libraries (revisioning, baselines, audits)
Experience using documentation platforms (e.g., Confluence/SharePoint) and integrating diagrams/drawings with knowledge bases
Familiarity with labeling standards (TIA/EIA) and structured cabling best practices
Experience supporting distributed site deployments and working from site surveys and field engineering feedback
