BURN is looking for a Mechanical Drafting Intern to support our engineering team in translating design concepts into high-quality technical documentation. The successful candidate will be responsible for creating 2D technical drawings from 3D CAD models, ensuring compliance with internal standards, and assisting in the transition from prototype to mass production. This role requires high attention to detail and a strong understanding of manufacturing standards, particularly for sheet metal and plastic components.
Duties and Responsibilities
Prepare 2D technical drawings from existing 3D CAD models.
Update and revise drawings based on engineer markups and feedback.
Ensure drawings comply with internal drafting standards, tolerances, and revision control.
Support the preparation and updating of Bills of Materials (BOMs).
Assist in converting prototype designs into manufacturing-ready documentation.
Assist in preparing design file packages (STEP, Parasolid, PDFs).
Perform basic CAD clean-up and minor model edits.
Organize and handle iterative tasks such as updating multiple drawings based on redlines.
Skills and Experience
Recent graduate from a recognized TVET institution with a Diploma in Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
Working knowledge of SolidWorks and AutoCAD (with a strong emphasis on 2D drawings).
Strong understanding of engineering drawing principles, dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing standards (specifically sheet metal and plastic components).
High attention to detail with the ability to follow drafting standards consistently and work with revision-controlled documentation.
Fluent in English with strong verbal and written documentation skills.
Strong interest in technical drafting, documentation, and maintaining design integrity.
Familiarity with sheet metal flat patterns or basic fabrication drawings is an added advantage.
Responsive to feedback and able to meet tight deadlines.
Interested in learning how designs transition from CAD models to mass production.
Requirements
Diploma in Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
Must submit evidence of drafting skills (portfolio or sample drawings) with the application.
Completed practical drafting projects beyond standard coursework (e.g., personal designs or freelance work).
Exposure to workshops, labs, makerspaces, or prototyping environments.
