      Design Drafter 2

      As Design Drafter at Key Technology, I design components for optical food sorters using Pro Engineer or SolidWorks. I designed sheet metal and machined parts, worked with very large assemblies, and produced production drawings. My work also included producing shop drawings and bills of material. I also worked closely with the shop to get parts made and with purchasing agents to order parts that could not made in-house.
