Job DescriptionPosition Overview
The Systems Engineer - CAD Design and Knowledge Management will use CAD design, deployment engineering, and documentation-control expertise to produce and maintain accurate engineering drawings and site documentation for a complex, geographically distributed mission program. This role transforms field data into deployment-ready and as-built packages while establishing searchable, traceable knowledge repositories aligned with configuration baselines and program standards.
Key Responsibilities- Develop and maintain CAD-based engineering drawings and layouts, including equipment rooms, rack elevations, cabling, power distribution, and required network diagrams.
- Prepare deployment-ready drawing packages with appropriate title blocks, revision histories, and adherence to program drafting standards.
- Convert site surveys and field notes into accurate as-built drawings using photographs, measurements, and field engineering feedback.
- Build and maintain structured repositories for drawings, build packages, installation guides, and troubleshooting references.
- Define and apply metadata and tagging standards so engineering documents are searchable, traceable, and linked to configuration baselines and approved changes.
- Support systems engineering for physical deployments, including space, power, cooling, and cabling considerations.
- Participate in technical reviews and deployment-readiness reviews.
- Maintain CAD templates and documentation-quality checklists that support consistent drafting standards, revision control, and audit-ready traceability across deployments.
Required Skills- Active Top Secret/SCI with Polygraph.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical field; four additional years of relevant experience may substitute for a degree.
- 7+ years of relevant professional experience.
- Experience in systems engineering, deployment engineering, or documentation engineering with significant CAD responsibilities.
- Proficiency with at least one CAD platform, such as AutoCAD, DraftSight, Revit, or SolidWorks.
- Demonstrated experience producing equipment-room layouts, rack elevations, cabling and power schematics, and site as-built documentation.
- Strong knowledge-management and document-control skills, including experience maintaining structured repositories and workflows across multidisciplinary teams.
- Excellent written communication, organization, and attention to detail.
Desired Skills- Experience documenting data centers or telecommunications rooms, including MDF/IDF layouts, patch panels, and fiber or copper infrastructure.
- Familiarity with configuration-management practices and controlled document libraries, including revisioning, baselines, and audits.
- Experience with documentation platforms such as Confluence or SharePoint and integrating drawings with knowledge bases.
- Familiarity with TIA/EIA labeling standards and structured-cabling best practices.
- Experience supporting distributed site deployments and converting site-survey and field-engineering input into controlled documentation.
