• Translate engineering concepts and design intent into production-ready technical drawings.
• Review existing models and drawings to maintain established drafting standards and consistency.
• Incorporate engineering feedback, design changes, and redlines accurately and efficiently.
• Identify drawing inconsistencies, missing information, and potential manufacturability concerns.
• Collaborate remotely with engineering and technical stakeholders.
Qualifications
• 3+ years of mechanical design and/or drafting experience.
• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks 3D CAD and engineering drawings.
• Experience producing manufacturing drawings for CNC-machined components.
• Strong knowledge of mechanical drafting, tolerances, threads, surface finishes, and material specifications.
