- Responsible for creating new designs in CAD and following them throughout their lifecycle (prototype, production release, change management)
- Will work directly with engineering to design new components, assemblies, systems, and kits
- Will be expected to create fully parametric 3D models using best practice modeling techniques that allow for easy editing by other designers in the future
- Perform tolerance stack-ups relating to form/fit/function, utilizing results to improve designs, reduce potential for bad parts, and resolve issues
- Regularly review designs for potential issues and develop feasible solutions to resolve issues prior to releasing parts for procurement
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment with various stakeholders by regularly communicating project status, design issues, and path forward
- Mentor and train less experienced designers as needed
- BSME or equivalent design experience
- Min. 6 years experience in 3D CAD modeling and detailing
- Min. 5 years experience in component design and packaging
- Min. 2 years experience with CREO, parametric modeling and detailing
- CREO Parametric 5.0 or newer, CREO 7 or 8 preferred
- Working knowledge with CREO Piping & Cabling
- Working knowledge with CREO Family Tables
- Knowledge of other CAD systems is desirable (NX preferred)
- The candidate shall have the capability to generate robust and innovative designs that are optimized with regards to manufacturability, weight, and cost
- Working knowledge of Teamcenter Visualization
- Working knowledge of PDM/PLM systems, Teamcenter, Windchill, SAP
- Working knowledge of GD&T and descriptive geometry, with ability to generate 2D drawings accordingly
- Familiarity with military specifications and standards, especially MIL-STD-31,000
- Basic skills with Microsoft Office software
- Comfortable presenting design updates, discussing design issues, and operating CAD in cross functional design reviews
- Sight: must be able to regularly read computer screen, reports, and various documents with detail and clarity to accomplish work tasks in a safe and efficient manner, including regular use of adequate close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, and ability to adjust focus
- Hearing: must be able to regularly hear well enough to communicate
- Physical Location:This position operates between an office and manufacturing plant environment and is often assigned to a specific shift or hours. The Employee must be able to perform job functions in an environment with varying difficult work conditions such as extreme cold, heat, inclement weather, at heights, and/or while exposed to constant/intermittent loud noises
- Teamwork: This position will work with others to ensure efficiency in the workplace
- Listening Skills:This position will need to understand how to use machinery properly and safely to prevent accidents and ensure all tasks are completed accurately
- Ability to follow instructions:Managers assign tasks and responsibilities, which vary; this position should be able to follow instructions competently
- Methodical approach:Production lines follow a set process, so this position needs a methodical approach to ensure all tasks are completed in the correct order for a smooth-running production line
- Concentration: This position may perform the same or similar tasks repeatedly, so a strong level of concentration when carrying out these tasks is important for quality control purposes. This role is often fast paced, so being able to maintain focus at all times is important
Occasional travel will be required
