- Cross-Team Collaboration: Work with mechanical designers and manufacturing staff to ensure drawings reflect efficient fabrication methods and production schedule.
- ERP & Data Management: Build and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), part numbers, hardware specs, and revision histories within our ERP database.
- Quality Control: Review drawing packages for accuracy before releasing them to the shop floor; update drawings based on production feedback and field experience, and aid with final shop testing and document review.
- Documentation Support: Help develop and maintain product catalogs, manual sets, and testing documentation.

Qualifications & Core Competencies

- AutoCAD Skills: Proficient in 2D drafting, with attention to detail, and accuracy.
- Computer Literacy: Comfortable managing structured data, lists, and part records in an ERP/Excel workplace.
