Roles
Design Engineer
an engineer who designs products and parts in CAD and manages the engineering changes that flow into manufacturing and the ERP
Your job, minus the screen work
You define the product: models, drawings, tolerances, materials. Every change you make then has to travel from CAD or PLM into the ERP, and that trip is mostly retyping, report running and chasing.
Where your week goes
- Digging through email for change requests nobody logged
- Running where-used reports level by level to see what a change touches
- Retyping CAD BOM lines into the ERP and fixing units that did not convert
- Chasing the routing update after the BOM already went live
- Answering "what changed?" from planning, purchasing and quality, one by one
- Building the change board packet the night before
What an agent takes over

-
Failure investigations and customer technical conversations

Every signature on a change order, deviation or concession
