• Support the development of technical presentations and PowerPoint charts for customer briefings.
• Participate in customer and program meetings using Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools.
• Ensure CAD models and associated data are organized and maintained in accordance with program requirements.
• For senior-level candidates, brief customers and participate in Program Management Reviews (PMRs).
• For senior-level candidates, serve as a technical point of contact for modeling activities and provide training and mentorship to other members of the team.

Required Qualifications:

• Experience with PTC Creo or similar professional CAD modeling software.
• Ability to understand CAD model-tree structures from individual parts through subassemblies and Next Higher Assemblies (NHAs).
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work with complex mechanical models and assemblies.
• Ability to work effectively as part of a collaborative engineering team.
