The Cabinet Engineer / Architectural Millwork CAD/CAM Programmer converts design intent, architectural drawings, and field information into accurate, production-ready cabinet and millwork packages. This role uses Mozaik and Cabinet Vision to engineer custom cabinetry, casework, and architectural millwork; generate shop drawings, cut lists, bills of materials, labels, and CNC-ready programs; and support a smooth handoff from design through fabrication and installation.

Key Responsibilities

·       Review architectural plans, specifications, design drawings, field dimensions, and scope requirements for custom cabinetry and architectural millwork projects.

·       Create accurate shop drawings, approval drawings, sections, details, and production documentation.

·       Engineer cabinets, casework, panels, moldings, hardware applications, and custom millwork assemblies for manufacturability and installation.

·       Program and maintain projects in Mozaik and Cabinet Vision, including construction methods, material libraries, hardware, machining, and CNC output.

·       Generate cut lists, bills of materials, purchase requirements, labels, nesting data, and machine-ready files.

·       Coordinate with designers, project managers, estimators, production teams, installers, vendors, and clients to resolve technical questions and design conflicts.

·       Verify dimensions, clearances, tolerances, reveals, hardware requirements, material selections, and installation conditions before release to production.

·       Optimize material yield, machining strategy, assembly methods, and production flow while maintaining quality standards.

·       Process revisions and change orders accurately, documenting their impact on drawings, materials, labor, and schedule.

·       Support the shop floor and installation teams by troubleshooting programming, fabrication, and field-fit issues.

·       Maintain organized project files, revision control, engineering standards, and reusable software libraries.

Required Qualifications

·       Demonstrated experience engineering custom cabinetry, commercial casework, or architectural millwork.

·       Hands-on proficiency with Mozaik, Cabinet Vision, or comparable cabinet manufacturing CAD/CAM software.

·       Ability to interpret architectural drawings, elevations, sections, specifications, and field measurements.

·       Working knowledge of cabinet construction, joinery, sheet goods, hardwoods, veneers, laminates, edgebanding, hardware, and finishing requirements.

·       Understanding of CNC machining, tooling, nesting, production sequencing, and fabrication constraints.

·       Strong mathematical, spatial, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

·       High attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and deadlines.

·       Ability to collaborate effectively with both office and shop-floor teams.

Preferred Qualifications

·       Advanced experience building and maintaining Mozaik or Cabinet Vision catalogs, standards, reports, and machining rules.

·       Experience with AutoCAD or other 2D/3D design software.

·       Knowledge of AWI/AWMAC quality standards and industry best practices.

·       Experience with ERP, estimating, purchasing, inventory, or production-management systems.

·       Background in high-end residential, hospitality, retail, institutional, or commercial millwork.

·       Associate degree, technical certificate, apprenticeship, or equivalent experience in drafting, engineering technology, woodworking, or a related field.

Measures of Success

·       Accurate, complete, and buildable production packages released on schedule.

·       Low rates of programming errors, material waste, remakes, and field corrections.

·       Consistent adherence to company construction standards and project specifications.

·       Timely resolution of design, production, and installation questions.

·       Effective collaboration across design, project management, manufacturing, and installation.
