Key Responsibilities

• Create and maintain drawings in AutoCAD and PTC Creo.

• Model parts and assemblies in PTC Creo and generate associated drawing deliverables for customers.

• Interpret and apply engineering design intent, functional requirements, manufacturing/assembly requirements, and inspection requirements to the drawing deliverables.

• Apply engineering drawing practices in accordance with ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41 to ensure clarity and manufacturability with the drawing packages.

• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality and supply chain teams to clarify ambiguities, implement design changes (ECOs/ECNs), update drawings and CAD models accordingly.

• Use PLM system (Teamcenter) to manage drawing/model revisions, release workflows, revision history, drawing numbering, part/assembly and ensure configuration control.

• Conduct self-checking and peer reviews of drawings/models for completeness, accuracy and standards compliance

• Support change control: update drawings and CAD models in response to engineering changes

• Assist with supplier documentation when required: generate drawing packages suitable for supplier manufacturing/inspection, ensure deliverables meet downstream needs.

• Provide timely status reporting, escalate issues or discrepancies (e.g., manufacturability, tolerance stacks, drawing clarity) and support drawing release schedules.

Must-Have Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 4 years (recommend ~5-7 year) of CAD design/drawing experience in a mechanical/manufacturing or aerospace environment.

• Proven proficiency in AutoCAD and PTC Creo for parts and assemblies.

• Demonstrated experience applying ASME drawing practices and GD&T (ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41 ) in creating engineering drawings.

• Hands-on experience with PLM/EDM systems for drawing/model revision control and release workflows..

• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerancing, assembly/interference issues, and how drawing/model output drives manufacturing/inspection.

• Detail-oriented, with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple drawing deliverables simultaneously and meet deadlines.

• Excellent communication skills: able to interact with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain; interpret design requirements; ask clarifying questions; respond to feedback.

• Experience reviewing detailed mechanical and assembly drawings for quality/drawing accuracy.

• Experience with MBD, DFM, DFA, and other manufacturing practices such as DFMEA and PFMEA

• Visio pro, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft office suite tool experience
