- Develop and review CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation.
- Apply practical Design for Manufacturing principles.
- Present recommendations, technical demonstrations, workshops, and training.
- Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering qualification.
- 5-7+ years’ experience in mechanical design, product development, manufacturing, or engineering systems.
- Strong CAD experience, preferably SOLIDWORKS.
- Good understanding of drawings, BOMs, revision control, manufacturing, and design release processes.
- Comfortable working directly with customers, engineering managers, and technical teams.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and project delivery skills.
- Experience with PDM, PLM, ERP, or engineering data management systems.
- Drawing office management, CAD administration, or design team leadership experience.
- Exposure to FEA, CFD or other simulation tools.
