# Aerospace Engineering Drafter
Aerospace engineering drafters convert the aerospace engineers' designs into technical drawings usually using computer-aided design programs. Their drawings detail dimensions, fastening and assembling methods and other specifications used in the manufacture of aircrafts and spacecrafts.
## Core workflow
1. Inspect, diagnose, maintain, and operate test setups and equipment to detect malfunctions.
2. Record and interpret test data on parts, assemblies, and mechanisms.
3. Confer with engineering personnel regarding details and implications of test procedures and results.
4. Adjust, repair, or replace faulty components of test setups and equipment.
5. Identify required data, data acquisition plans, and test parameters, setting up equipment to conform to these specifications.
6. Operate and calibrate computer systems and devices to comply with test requirements and to perform data acquisition and analysis.
7. Test aircraft systems under simulated operational conditions, performing systems readiness tests and pre- and post-operational checkouts, to establish design or fabrication parameters.
8. Fabricate and install parts and systems to be tested in test equipment, using hand tools, power tools, and test instruments.
