Draftsman

Major need due to a surge in work. In this role, the primary function will be drawing creation as the models are already generated.

Responsibilities

• Works closely with engineers and more senior designers to make drawing corrections and works independently to make changes in accordance with drawing redlines.
• Works directly with engineers and manufacturing personnel to make on-the-fly drawing updates.
• Performs independently and in a highly collaborative environment working with multiple project teams.
• Checks technical accuracy and completeness of drawings.
• Independently prepares CADD solid models at the part and assembly level using Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks; completes layout and detail drawings, including application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, for simple to moderately complex equipment or mechanisms.
• May create independent, original designs for simple to moderately complex parts and assemblies; interacts with engineering and manufacturing personnel to ensure manufacturability, maintainability, and proper assembly.
• Prepares engineering drawings, layout, and detailed design of mechanical systems using drafting techniques in SolidWorks.
• As required, works independently to select commercial off-the-shelf components (electrical and mechanical) that meet stated performance requirements.
• Ensures designs meet quality standards and customer requirements.

Requirements

• 7-10 years of CAD design experience.
