Designer

Key Responsibilities

• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings for valves, actuators, and related components using CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks).
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation including drawings, BOMs, and design specifications.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable standards (e.g., ASME, API, ISO) and company design practices.
• Support new product development, product upgrades, and cost-out initiatives.
• Aid engineers in concept development, prototyping, and design validation.
• Participate in design reviews and provide constructive feedback on manufacturability and performance.
• Execute Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and update documentation accordingly.
• Maintain revision control and ensure design data integrity in PLM/PDM systems.
• Support preparation of test setups, including valve/actuator assemblies.
• Assist in analysis of research and development laboratory test results (e.g., pressure testing, sealing performance).
• Document findings and incorporate feedback into design updates.

Qualifications

• Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience).
