• manufacturing processes
• mathematics
• mechanics
• perform scientific research
• production processes
• provide technical documentation
• read engineering drawings
• technical drawings
• troubleshoot
• use CAD software
• use specialised design software
• use technical drawing software

It also helps to know the following:

• engineering processes
• 3D modelling
• advise on machinery malfunctions
• advise on safety improvements
• build a product's physical model
• create a product's virtual model
• determine production capacity
• determine production feasibility
• engineering principles
• estimate duration of work
• maintain industrial equipment
• manage supplies
