## Description

* Assist in Stellavise's drawing automation initiative, starting with one high-repeat drawing package and expanding across the electrical and civil plan sets
 * Develop and maintain AutoCAD automation tools (C#/.NET API, Python, AutoLISP) that generate and update drawings, schedules, title blocks and sheet indexes from project data
 * Build and manage the project data source (Excel or database) that serves as the single source of truth for equipment, cable schedules, string counts and project information
 * Standardize CAD templates, layers, attributed and dynamic blocks, and sheet set templates so drawings are consistent and automation-ready
 * Integrate design data from layout tools such as PVcase and from calculation tools (ETAP, cable sizing, voltage drop) into the drawing workflow
 * Automate QA checks such as cable ampacity and voltage drop, string and inverter counts, sheet references and title block consistency
 * Automate batch plotting, PDF assembly and revision tracking (AutoCAD Publish, Bluebeam)
 * Work closely with electrical and civil engineers and drafters to capture design rules, then train the team on new tools and workflows
 * Document tools and maintain version control of scripts and templates
