  • Continuously evaluate and improve system efficiency, reliability, and user experience
  • Work task balance is approximately:
  • 70–80% DriveWorks development and administration
  • 20–30% CAD/PDM support, system improvements, and cross-functional initiatives

Requirements:
  • Strong experience with DriveWorks 
  • Advanced knowledge of SolidWorks and CAD data structures
  • Experience with PDM systems (SolidWorks PDM preferred)
  • Understanding of ERP system integration and data workflows
  • Familiarity with configuration-driven design, automation, and rule-based systems
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing processes (sheet metal, weldments a plus)
  • Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills
  • Effective communication skills across technical and non-technical teams
  • Experience with SQL, APIs, or scripting is a plus
  • Bachelor’s or Associate’s degree in Engineering, CAD Technology, or related field preferred

Key Traits for Success:
