Litchfield Cabinetry builds custom residential cabinetry for the Lowcountry's luxury corridor — Charleston, Hilton Head, Beaufort, Palmetto Bluff, and Bluffton. We work directly with builders, architects, and designers on high-end homes where the cabinetry is expected to be the best thing in the room. Our shop combines vendor-sourced and shop-built components, and our clients expect precision, responsiveness, and a finished product that holds up to close inspection. The role The Design Engineer owns the path from approved design to shop-ready output. You will draft in Cabinet Vision, move projects through the engineering workflow, generate machine-ready files, order doors and materials, and communicate directly with clients, designers, and builders. This is a hybrid design and engineering seat. It suits someone who is equally comfortable resolving a tricky corner detail on screen and picking up the phone to walk a builder through a change.

• Draft cabinetry designs in Cabinet Vision from architectural plans, field measurements, and design intent
• Develop and issue shop drawings and elevations for client and builder approval
• Move projects through the engineering workflow from preliminary layout to released production files

• Coordinate with the shop on constructability, sequencing, and field conditions
