• Execute engineering change requests (ECRs/ECOs) and maintain drawing revision accuracy
• Produce technical drawings in accordance with company, industry, and military drafting standards
• Identify potential design or documentation issues with minimal supervision and communicate findings to senior engineering staff
• Follow established engineering workflows, processes, and work instructions while adapting quickly to new procedures
• Provide constructive feedback to improve drafting processes, documentation standards, and workflow efficiency
• Communicate project progress, technical issues, and status updates effectively to project teams and management
• Support additional engineering documentation and CAD-related assignments as needed

Qualifications:
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and drafting, preferably using Creo and/or SolidWorks
• Working knowledge of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems; 3DEXPERIENCE experience preferred
• Familiarity with industry and military drafting/modeling standards, including GD&T practices
• Ability to organize and capture detailed design information in a fast-paced engineering environment
• Experience interpreting component datasheets and defining engineering parameters accurately
• Excellent communication skills, strong organizational ability, and exceptional attention to detail
Education:
• Associate degree, technical certification, or equivalent experience in Engineering Technology, Drafting, or a related discipline
• 7–10 years of hands-on technical drafting and mechanical CAD design experience
