- Create and update detailed engineering drawings for manufacturing
- Generate and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs)

- Mechanically inclined, curious, and eager to learn
Preferred:
- Associate's degree in Drafting, CAD Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related field

- Opportunity to grow your technical skills and advance your engineering career
- Tuition reimbursement
- Excellent medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Specialty prescription drug coverage
- Stable business focused on high-quality, custom-engineered products rather than high-volume commodity manufacturing
