• Ensure automated models and engineering outputs meet customer, industry, company, engineering, and manufacturing requirements
• Collaborate effectively across Engineering, Detailing, Operations, Manufacturing, ERP/MES, Data, and software development teams
• Maintain a strong focus on data quality and ensure engineering-generated information is accurate, trusted, and usable by downstream systems and teams
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement through engineering automation, standardization, reusable content, and improved design processes
• Support the long-term development and adoption of engineering automation, standards governance, and model-based engineering practices
• Create configurable assemblies, reusable templates, and parameter-driven engineering design tools
• Translate engineering calculations, design standards, customer requirements, and design intent into model parameters, rules, templates, and structured automation logic
• Support iLogic, iProperties, and other Autodesk Inventor automation methods in partnership with the Inventor Developer
• Validate automated model outputs against engineering requirements, customer expectations, detailing requirements, and manufacturing needs
• Identify and implement opportunities to reduce repetitive modeling, detailing, BOM, and BOO creation efforts
• Support the expansion of automated and model-based engineering workflows across standard and semi-standard structure families
• Develop and maintain engineering template libraries in alignment with approved engineering and design standards
• Support the development of governed standard parts, assemblies, templates, and approved design patterns
• Determine which components, assemblies, and design elements should be standard, configurable, or job-specific
• Ensure models, templates, and reusable engineering content comply with applicable customer, industry, company, and manufacturing requirements
• Define and support engineering metadata requirements for drawings, BOMs, BOOs, Epicor, MES, procurement, manufacturing, analytics, and future AI-enabled tools
• Ensure automated models generate accurate and usable information for downstream processes and systems
• Validate that model outputs support manufacturing consumption, material requirements, operational requirements, and drawing clarity
• Support model outputs that can be consumed by downstream systems with minimal manual re-entry, interpretation, or correction
• Troubleshoot model behavior and automated outputs and recommend improvements to engineering logic, templates, standards, and workflows

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in a safety related discipline preferred
• At least three years of experience in industrial safety and industrial hygiene required
