• Identify inefficient or repetitive workflows and develop tools, scripts, and automation using Python, VBA, SQL, PowerShell, or similar technologies
• Develop and maintain processes, standards, naming conventions, metadata requirements, and documentation for engineering data and CAD systems
• Support the transition to the company's new ERP system and ongoing integration between engineering data and ERP systems
• Collaborate with engineering and cross‑functional teams to identify issues, improve workflows, and implement practical solutions
• Support user training and documentation for CAD systems, engineering data, and related workflows
• Assist with 2D and 3D CAD modeling, assemblies, drawings, standard components, and engineering documentation as needed
