Prepare and finalize machine and part drawings using SolidWorks
Review drawings for accuracy, completeness, and manufacturability
Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs)

1–3+ years of CAD/drafting or detailing experience
Strong SolidWorks proficiency
Experience with parts or assemblies made in a machine shop or fabrication environment
Comfortable spending some time on the shop floor
