• Support product development through engineering change orders (ECOs), revisions, and configuration management
• Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), product specification sheets, and technical documentation
• Prepare and update quality assurance and manufacturing support documentation
• Maintain organized CAD libraries and engineering documentation using Autodesk Inventor and Vault
• Help establish and improve company-wide modeling and drafting standards
• Work closely with manufacturing and engineering teams to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and production-ready

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
• Minimum of a 3.3 GPA for all completed degrees
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical product design and drafting
• Strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles and manufacturing processes
