Job Description

Right from the start, American Locker has continually led the industry we invented with an unstoppable series of innovative solutions - like inventing the first coin-operated locker. Our years of innovative American manufacturing have led us to create the widest range of customized solutions in the industry. Our smart locker systems are built to satisfy any solution with maximum security; intelligent key-less lockers that accept credit cards, charge laptops, send text messages, and more.

We’re seeking an experienced Junior Engineer - Drawing and Release Packages, to ensure that all engineering documentation released to Manufacturing Engineering is complete, accurate, standardized, and production-ready. As a Junior Engineer, your role exists to protect the factory from incomplete drawings, unclear requirements, revision errors, and documentation gaps that cause shop-floor questions, rework, delays, and unnecessary Engineering Change Orders (ECOs).

This is a discipline and quality role, not a design-creation seat. Your success will be measured by how cleanly work flows from Engineering into Manufacturing.

What You'll Do:

• Own Drawing & Release Packages
  
• Be fully responsible for the preparation of complete drawing turnover packages before release
  
• Ensure all required documents are present, correct, and aligned
  
• Create fabrication and assembly drawings
  
• BOMs
  
• Specifications and notes
  
• Revision history and release status
  
• Act as the final quality gate before Engineering releases work to Manufacturing Engineering
  
• Enforce internal drawing, BOM, and documentation standards
  Ensure consistent formatting, naming conventions, and revision control
  
• Apply release checklists to every package—no exceptions
  
• Maintain drawing templates, standards, and best-practice examples
  Work closely with Mechanical and Electrical Engineers to resolve:
  
• ○ Missing dimensions
  
• ○ Ambiguous notes
  
• ○ Conflicting BOMs or specs
  
• Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineering to clarify release expectations and feedback
  
• Serve as the communication bridge between design intent and manufacturing needs
  
• Support Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) by updating drawings and documentation accurately
  
• Ensure revisions are clearly communicated and traceable
  
• Prevent uncontrolled or partial updates
  Maintain clean revision history to avoid shop-floor confusion
  
• Identify recurring documentation issues and root causes
  
• Propose improvements to standards, checklists, and templates
  
• Help reduce engineering-driven ECOs caused by documentation gaps
  

At a Minimum, You'll Need to Have:

● 1+ years experience in mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering

● Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline

● CAD experience with drawings and assemblies

● Ability to follow and enforce standards consistently

● Strong written and verbal communication skills

● Familiarity with sheet metal, welded, and fabricated assemblies is a big plus!

● Exposure to manufacturing environments is another big plus!

● Understanding of basic revision control and ECO processes

What You'll Get:

You’ll have opportunities to advance. We’re fans of helping our employees learn different aspects of the business, be challenged with new tasks, mentored, and grow.

We celebrate one another's differences and ideas. We're proud of our culture of diversity and inclusion - and, we have programs that bring us together on important issues and provide educational opportunities for all employees
