Designer/Drafter 3/4

Responsibilities

• Create and revise CAD models, drawing packages, markups, and associated Product Data Management records
• Apply engineering policies, procedures, drafting standards, and design practices to assigned work
• Apply materials knowledge, dimensioning strategies, ASME Y14.5 or Laboratory drafting manual expectations, and drawing checks
• Independently lead novel design solutions for unique, non-standard, static or dynamic design challenges
• Work with engineers, customers, and stakeholders to define requirements and develop appropriate design solutions
• Support/lead estimating, schedule planning, design strategies, and fabrication-readiness activities
• Facilitate design reviews, clarify discipline interfaces, and resolve drawing/model compatibility issues
• Develop or support novel design solutions for unique, non-standard, static, or dynamic design challenges

Requirements

Minimum Job Requirements:

• 3D Parametric CAD Experience: Intermediate to Advanced understanding of Three-dimensional parametric CAD systems, modeling and drawing drafting principles, application of standards, symbols, notes, GD&T on drawings and models to capture design intent, component and tool design, fixturing, schematics, and tooling equipment, machine shop equipment like a mill, lathe, drill press, welder and inspection equipment, engineering materials and their suitability for component design and manufacture, high-level, three-dimensional parametric cad systems and associated product data management system, novel design solutions for unique and non-standard design challenges in either static or dynamic applications, the application of design limits in non-routine environments, engineering concepts and skills in product data management and/or configuration management of part and assembly definition
• Experience using industry standards: Experience using industry standards such as American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Y series and design/drafting standards, including Y14.5M Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) as related to the design field
• Collaboration/Teaming: Responsible for the development and design of large projects and works directly with customers to define requirements for the design solution. The successful candidate will have the ability to work on diverse teams and collaborate on designs from rough sketches with minimal guidance from senior level technicians. It is an expectation to facilitate design reviews with stakeholders, addressing compatibility between design drawings and models with other disciplines, clarifying interfaces and resolving issues.
• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills. Must have the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively to advise engineers in dimensioning strategies.
