• High school diploma, equivalent, or any combination of education and experience that demonstrates the ability to perform the job duties.
• Working knowledge of engineering design principles, technical documentation, drawing and model review practices, tolerances, bills of materials, change control, and manufacturing methods.
• Ability to read, interpret, organize, and evaluate engineering drawings, 3D models, specifications, bills of materials, calculations, and P&IDs for accuracy, completeness, and compliance.
• Ability to apply independent technical judgment, identify design gaps or nonconformities, coordinate input from multiple disciplines, and recommend practical solutions.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Excellent time management skills and ability to self-motivate.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across departments and with customers, vendors, and engineering partners.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screen.

Nice To Haves

• Two or more years of relevant engineering, design, drafting, manufacturing support, project coordination, or technical review experience.
• Familiarity with CAD systems, including SolidWorks.
• Understanding of sheet metal forming and capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical coordination and support across new product, customer project, production support, continuous improvement, and sustaining engineering activities.
• Support planning, assignment, prioritization, scheduling, and delivery of engineering work performed by internal teams, external engineering firms, vendors, and contract resources.
• Develop and communicate scopes of work, technical requirements, priorities, milestones, and expected deliverables for assigned engineering activities.
• Coordinate technical matters among engineering, project management, sales, procurement, quality, production, customers, vendors, and external engineering partners.
• Gather, organize, and distribute drawings, specifications, standards, customer requirements, design inputs, and other technical information.
• Track project status, engineering deliverables, open questions, decisions, changes, approvals, and due dates; identify risks or delays and escalate concerns.
• Review drawings, 3D models, bills of materials, calculations, specifications, and other engineering deliverables for completeness, accuracy, consistency, manufacturability, and alignment with applicable requirements.
• Identify technical gaps, discrepancies, and nonconformities, and coordinate corrections, approvals, and follow-up actions.
• Coordinate responses to technical questions, design changes, redlines, requests for information, shop-floor feedback, and field issues.
• Maintain project records, revision histories, transmittals, approvals, action logs, and other technical documentation throughout the engineering lifecycle.
• Support engineering workload visibility, resource coordination, and communication of capacity, quality, responsiveness, and recurring issues to management.
• Support continuous improvement by standardizing engineering handoffs, submittal requirements, templates, design-review practices, and coordination processes.
• Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure engineering outputs support safety, quality, cost, schedule, compliance, and manufacturability expectations.
• Facilitate importing, integrating, organizing, and exchanging 3D CAD models and related technical data within the internal engineering environment.
• Perform other job-related responsibilities as assigned.
