• Update fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, weldment drawings, and manufacturing documentation to support released products.
• Implement Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) and Engineering Change Requests (ECRs).
• Support manufacturing, quality, and field service teams by addressing design-related issues and implementing corrective actions.
• Investigate design concerns, manufacturing challenges, and field-reported issues and support root cause analysis activities.
• Revise structural framing, equipment supports, mounting arrangements, cable tray supports, access platforms, and mechanical integration features as required.
• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs), drawing packages, and engineering documentation.
• Support component substitutions, supplier changes, and obsolescence management initiatives.
• Collaborate with manufacturing and fabrication teams to improve product quality, manufacturability, and cost effectiveness.
• Prepare engineering change documentation and drawing revisions in accordance with company processes.
• Participate in design reviews and implement approved design improvements.
• Ensure compliance with company drafting standards, GD&T requirements, fabrication standards, and manufacturing best practices.
• Support continuous improvement, value engineering, cost reduction, and product reliability initiatives.
• Assist with fit-up verification, field feedback evaluations, and manufacturing investigations.
• Develop solutions that consider transportation, lifting, installation, serviceability, and long-term product support requirements.
• Coordinate with mechanical, structural, electrical, and cooling system stakeholders to ensure accurate integration of equipment within modular platforms.
• Support configuration management and document control activities for released products.

• Associate's Degree or Technical Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Drafting, or related field.
• 8+ years of experience in mechanical design, sustaining engineering, product support, or manufacturing support.
• Advanced proficiency with Solid Works (strongly preferred) and/or Creo.
• Experience creating and revising fabrication and manufacturing drawings.
• Strong knowledge of GD&T and engineering drawing standards.
• Experience supporting engineering changes and drawing revision processes.
• Experience developing and maintaining large assemblies and complex equipment layouts.
• Experience with weldments, sheet metal, structural members, and fabricated assemblies.
• Familiarity with manufacturing, machining, welding, fabrication, and assembly processes.
• Proficiency creating and managing Bills of Materials (BOMs).
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail and documentation accuracy.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Candidates must be able to legally work and reside in the US without sponsorship.

• Experience supporting:
  • E-Houses
