  • Expert in 3D CAD and 2D drafting (e.g., SOLIWORKS, ALTIUM, CATIA or Creo) with the proven ability to author and update detail and assembly drawings to GD&T.
  • Hands-on experience with
EBOM/MBOM
management inside a PLM / configuration-management system.
  • Demonstrated DFMEA, tolerance stack-up, and Key Characteristic definition on production hardware.
  • Working experience of aerospace qualification and part-release / signature workflows.
  • Strong stakeholder communication; able to interface directly with client focal points and lead technical reviews.
  • Tools & Software experience : 3D
CAD & 2D
drafting (SOLIDWORKS / ALTIUM / CATIA / Creo / NX /), GD&T, PLM / Configuration Manager for
