Design and support trailer structures, frames, subframes, suspensions, hitches, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, brake systems, and related components. Prepare clear shop-ready drawing packages for steel fabrication and assembly. Support weight distribution, axle loading, fit-up, and basic structural calculations. Work with production to resolve design questions, fabrication issues, and assembly challenges. Support engineering changes, drawing updates, BOM accuracy, and revision control.

Proficiency in 3D CAD software, specifically SolidWorks.
