      Hey:D A precision engineer is a person who uses machines ( such as, Lathes and Mills ) to create very small pieces to an exact size with no tolerance ( no tolerance means that measurements cant even be a millimetre bigger, they have to be on the dot the size needed ). This is in the area of mechanical engineering though, there’s many other areas you can be a precision engineer with different stuff to do. For example, you can be a precision engineer in electronics soldering and making tiny electrical components. But with my precision engineering, once the small parts are made, I attach them to the space structures:D
