• Update engineering documentation and multi-level Bills of Materials (BOMs) in Oracle ERP to reflect the transition of components from "Buy" to "Make" status.
• Validate prototype and sample parts by reviewing inspection data and auditing physical assemblies to confirm form, fit, and function.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing and Operations Engineering teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Package and deliver finalized, production-ready drawing packages to the Manufacturing Engineering group.

Required Qualifications

• A minimum of 4 years of experience in the design of fabricated and formed sheet metal parts.
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, specifically with the Sheet Metal module.
• A strong understanding of manufacturing processes and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles.
• Experience working in a manufacturing environment or on a production floor.
• Demonstrated experience with prototype parts, supplier collaboration, and production validation.
• Deep understanding of sheet metal fabrication principles, including flat pattern development and the influence of press brake tooling on part geometry.
