Key Responsibilities

• Inspect sample and existing parts against engineering drawings and specifications for part approval
• Perform reverse engineering of existing components by collecting accurate dimensional information from physical parts
• Create detailed 3D part models using SOLIDWORKS
• Develop new engineering drawings from physical parts and SOLIDWORKS models
• Use calipers, micrometers, height gauges, and other precision measuring equipment to capture part dimensions
• Read and interpret engineering and manufacturing drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, and specifications
• Compare physical components against engineering drawings and identify dimensional or documentation discrepancies
• Review and revise existing engineering drawings based on inspection findings, supplier feedback, engineering direction, or identified discrepancies
• Maintain accurate and organized SOLIDWORKS models, drawings, inspection information, and supporting documentation
• Utilize PDM Vault to manage and maintain engineering files and documentation
• Apply appropriate drafting practices when creating and revising technical drawings
• Support part inspection and approval activities by ensuring physical components align with applicable engineering documentation
• Manage and prioritize work across a large list of parts and projects
• Communicate technical findings, discrepancies, and questions with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and other team members
• Complete assigned modeling and documentation projects accurately and within established deadlines
• Work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining a high level of quality and attention to detail

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on professional experience using SOLIDWORKS
• Strong experience creating and modifying 3D SOLIDWORKS part models
• Experience developing and revising engineering drawings
• Experience with reverse engineering physical parts or components
• Ability to take dimensional measurements from physical components and translate those measurements into accurate CAD models
• Ability to read and interpret engineering and manufacturing drawings
• Experience using precision measurement and inspection tools such as calipers, micrometers, and height gauges
• Strong understanding of dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing documentation
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify discrepancies between physical parts and engineering documentation
• Strong organizational and time-management skills
• Ability to manage multiple parts and projects simultaneously
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• Ability to work onsite in Memphis, TN Monday through Friday

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SOLIDWORKS PDM or PDM Vault
• Associate degree or technical certification in drafting, CAD, engineering technology, manufacturing, or a related discipline
• Previous experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment
• Experience with GD&T and standard engineering drawing practices
