• Fluency in Spanish is a plus.

Education and Experience

• Critical dimensions.
• Creating custom views.
• Working with custom file properties (will be trained more on).
• Complete understanding of SolidWorks BOMs.
• Complete understanding of SolidWorks Revision Control.
• Working with weldments and cut list properties (will be trained more on).

• Ability to lift to 50 pounds.
• Ability to stand, bend, twist, and kneel.
