Process Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D models, detailed drawings, and top-level assemblies using Inventor (NX a plus).
• Apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T and perform tolerance stack-ups for parts, assemblies, and in-process operations.
• Diagnose and resolve issues communicated by manufacturing or assembly personnel—even when information is incomplete (e.g., “it doesn’t work” or “something seems off”).
• Work closely with machinists, assemblers, quality inspectors, and engineers to ensure drawings match real-world manufacturing processes.
• Develop and maintain in-process drawing packages aligned with manufacturing sequences.
• Design manufacturing fixtures, inspection fixtures, and other tooling as needed.
• Update or revise drawings and models iteratively to reflect functional limits and solve production issues.
• Collaborate closely with machinists, assemblers, inspectors, and engineers; communicate technical concepts clearly and respectfully.
• Ensure models and drawings reflect manufacturing-friendly and CAM-friendly design practices.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 7+ years mechanical or process design experience.
• Proficient in Autodesk Inventor; NX experience is beneficial.
• Strong hands-on experience with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and fixture/tooling design.
• Working knowledge of materials, machining, and metal finishes.
• Strong communication, organization, and multi-project management skills.
• Able to navigate the manufacturing floor (stairs, platforms, equipment).
• Must be able to work in a fast-paced, direct, and collaborative environment.
