Electrical Draftsman

Paragon is seeking a highly skilled Electrical Draftsman to join our engineering team and play a pivotal role in designing/drafting electronic systems. In this position, you will work closely with electronics engineers to develop and maintain comprehensive design packages for components such as printed circuit boards (PCBs), electronic modules, power supplies, and mechanical enclosures.

This role goes beyond traditional drafting – you will be actively involved in creating schematics, laying out PCBs, designing enclosures, and selecting components, ensuring designs are both functional and manufacturable. The ideal candidate thrives in a hands-on, collaborative environment, bridging the gap between electrical and mechanical design, and contributing directly to the development of high-quality electronic products.

You will be responsible for transforming concepts into production-ready designs, supporting projects from initial prototypes through final manufacturing, all while adhering to Paragon’s quality assurance standards for both safety-critical and non-safety equipment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys seeing designs come to life and having a tangible impact.

Key Responsibilities:

- Create, update, and modify detailed electrical schematics and PCB layouts using Altium and SolidWorks PCB.

- Design mechanical assemblies, including enclosures, brackets, and other hardware to support electrical components.

- Maintain parts libraries and ensure component selections align with design and availability requirements.

- Verify drawings against engineering specifications.

- Generate electrical schematics from existing PCBs and create PCB layouts following industry best practices.

- Collaborate with engineering staff to ensure designs meet functional, manufacturability, and safety requirements.

- Transition existing design packages from other software (PADS, OrCAD, etc.) into Altium or SolidWorks.

- Liaise with stakeholders to clarify specifications and design expectations.

Qualifications:

- Associate’s Degree in Electronics or related field preferred.

- Needs excellent verbal and written communications

- At least 2 years in similar role and/or submittal of 20+ PCBs for manufacture and 20+ mechanical parts submitted for manufacture.

- Hands-on experience with Altium and SolidWorks PCB required.

- Strong understanding of electrical and mechanical drafting principles.

- Technical, hands-on experience with electronics design and testing.

- Experience in regulated industries (e.g., aerospace) is desirable.
