Join Our Engineering & Operations Team
Closet Factory Boston is seeking a detail-oriented Cabinet Production CAD Specialist to join our operations/manufacturing team. This position transforms designer concepts into accurate, production-ready drawings and manufacturing documentation for custom closets, home offices, garages, pantries, entertainment centers, wall beds, and other custom cabinetry products.
Every project we build is custom. Success in this role requires strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and the ability to think through how a project will actually be manufactured and installed—not just how it looks on paper.
What You'll Do
- Convert designer drawings into accurate production-ready manufacturing drawings.
- Analyze projects to ensure they can be manufactured and installed efficiently while maintaining design intent.
- Create and modify cabinet drawings using KCD and related production software.
- Prepare CNC-ready manufacturing files and production documentation.
- Verify dimensions, construction details, hardware, and material specifications.
- Collaborate with designers, production, and installers to resolve technical issues.
- Help maintain engineering standards, drafting consistency, and production quality.
Qualifications
We're looking for someone who is analytical, mechanically minded, detail-oriented, and enjoys solving technical and manufacturing problems. The ideal candidate takes pride in producing accurate work, understands that small errors can become costly production mistakes, and works well with both office and shop personnel.
Preferred qualifications include:
- Experience with cabinetry, millwork, furniture manufacturing, or finish carpentry.
- Experience using CAD or drafting software (KCD, AutoCAD, Cabinet Vision, Microvellum, SketchUp, SolidWorks, or similar).
- Knowledge and experience with the 32mm cabinetmaking system (system 32).
- Ability to read architectural drawings, elevations, shop drawings, and blueprints.
- Strong understanding of Imperial and Metric measurement systems.
- Strong computer skills, including experience with Windows and Microsoft 365.
- Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining accuracy.
- Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with problem-solving skills and the ability to identify potential manufacturing or installation issues.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate effectively with a production team.
- Motivated to continuously improve processes, accuracy, and efficiency.
Experience with KCD, Cutrite, or woodWOP is a plus but not required. We are willing to train the right candidate with strong mechanical aptitude and cabinetry knowledge.
What We Offer
- $20.00–$25.00 per hour, based on experience and skill level.
- 40–50 hours per week, with overtime as operational demands require.
- 401(k) with company match.
- Medical, dental, life, and accident insurance benefits.
- Paid holidays and vacation time.
- Advanced manufacturing equipment and modern production software.
- Stable, year-round employment with a leading custom cabinetry manufacturer.
