  , ensuring compliance with relevant military standards (e.g., MIL-STD-31000).
• Incorporate
  path loss compensation (PLC)and calibration requirements into engineered drawings, as needed, for OTPS and STE designs.
• Create
  3D models
  of test fixtures and other components for fabrication and validation purposes, ensuring alignment with design specifications.

• Support technical documentation efforts by creating and updating
  Technical Data Packages (TDPs), including Level III drawings, native CAD files, and engineering design documentation.
• Prepare and maintain project-specific
  revision control documents
  , ensuring accurate tracking of updates to drawings, technical manuals, and software-related materials.
• Generate or revise supporting documentation such as:
  • Software Version Descriptions (SVD)
  • Software Build Procedures (SBP)
  • Calibration Measurement Requirements Summaries (CMRS)
  • Test Executive Instructions (TEI)
• Work with Integrated Project Teams (IPTs) to ensure TDPs and deliverables meet
  government documentation standards
  and are free from proprietary markings.
• Participate in
  System Engineering Technical Review (SETR) meetings
  , including Post Award Review (PAR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Test Readiness Review (TRR), providing technical drawing updates or input when required.

• Associate’s degree
  in Drafting, CAD Design, Engineering Graphics, or a related technical field.
• Three (3) or more years
  of experience in creating engineering drawings or CAD models for technical and/or defense-related applications.
• Proficiency with
  2D and 3D CAD software
  (e.g., Solid Edge, Solid Works, AutoCAD, or similar) to create professional technical drawings and models.
• Demonstrated ability to create technical drawings and
  modification packages that meet industry and military standards
  , such as MIL-STD-31000.
• Basic understanding of
  engineering concepts
  and collaboration with engineers to produce documentation for Interface Test Adapters (ITAs), hardware, and other components.
• Familiarity with
  revision control
  processes, including updating and tracking Technical Data Packages (TDPs) for government ownership.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills to ensure precise and accurate documentation.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including
  Word, Excel, and Power Point .
• Excellent communication skills for collaborating with engineers, developers, and stakeholders.
