- Experience interpreting technical specifications, industry standards, and product validation data to independently create engineering documentation.
- Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering change management processes, and PLM systems such as Teamcenter.
- Proven problem-solving, communication, and project coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
