- 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
