The CAD Support & Administration Specialist provides technical, operational, and administrative support for California Closets’ proprietary CAD platforms and related engineering systems. This entry‑level role is ideal for someone with strong analytical skills, a service mindset, and a passion for supporting design and engineering teams through efficient tools, clean data, and reliable system performance. 

Responsibilities:

• Install or coordinate installation of CAD software updates, patches, and plug‑ins—mirroring typical CAD administrator tasks. 
• Support configuration of design rules, templates, libraries, menus, and environment settings. 
• Monitor system use, performance, and storage; identify issues proactively, similar to external CAD admin roles. 
• Provide Tier 1–2 support for CAD tools, integrations, crashes, and performance issues.
• Diagnose system and user problems; escalate when needed (a core function in most CAD Specialist roles). 
• Troubleshoot integration issues across design, engineering, and operations tools. 
• Maintain a knowledge base of common issues, fixes, and best practices. 
• Execute updates to design system databases and libraries, ensuring accuracy and standardization. 
• Maintain metadata, model attributes, and relational datasets, aligned with external CAD data management practices. 
• Participate in data conversion or migration efforts when new tools or versions are introduced.
• Create user guides, SOPs, quick‑reference documentation, and release notes.
• Deliver onboarding and refresher training sessions for designers and engineering teams—common in CAD admin roles.
• Maintain internal documentation for workflows, libraries, integrations, and troubleshooting procedures. 
• Partner with Engineering, Operations, Sourcing, Product Development, and IT to resolve issues.
• Collaborate with vendors or contractors on upgrades, fixes, testing, or data issues—consistent with external market roles.
• Participate in user feedback sessions to identify improvement opportunities in CAD workflows. 
• Participate in planning, testing, and rollout of CAD upgrades, integrations, and feature enhancements (a standard expectation in CAD admin roles).
• Conduct smoke tests and regression tests; document results; support production deployment. 
• Identify opportunities for automation and process improvement, aligned with CAD Administrator/Programmer expectations.
• Ensure adherence to CAD standards, naming conventions, and data quality requirements, similar to external CAD/Asset roles.
• Maintain security practices for proprietary designs and sensitive data.

Qualifications

• Strong Excel skills and understanding of database fundamentals.
• Basic knowledge of CAD tools (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar).
• Ability to troubleshoot technical problems and support end users.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work independently in a remote environment.
• Detail‑oriented, well‑organized, and able to manage multiple priorities.
