Job Responsibilities:

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Generally assigned to create and revise components and assemblies. Assignments will include programs with existing and new customers, the introduction of new technology, accelerated development cycles and integrated product lines.

Support Project Engineers by applying their direction in generating studies and concept sketches for the purpose of understanding, communicating, or overcoming technical issues.

Consults and collaborates with personnel on various Engineering and Design activities related to the product development process.

Generates innovative solutions to problems that resolve issues on projects as well as open potential avenues to new products/patents/cost savings.

Develops CAD designs (3D & 2D) based on internal and customer input/requirements, and following internal guidelines/best practices. Complexity of the design may extend up to top level assemblies. Designs should demonstrate intermediate understanding of material, industry, OEM, product specific, supplier process, manufacturing and other best practices. Applies these skills to create potential solutions for product designs and generate/evaluate concepts for technical merit.

Can execute calculations and simple kinematic studies using product standards and individual knowledge.

Works with Analysts to provide data necessary for CAE studies, and performs design changes as advised.

Intermediate understanding of dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Able to independently devise simple dimensioning schemes that suit fit & function of parts while accounting for mating condition to other components in an assembly. Application of basic tolerance stack ups. Consideration for manufacturing and quality assurance capabilities should be evident in the dimensioning strategy and design.

Exercise intermediate knowledge and skill when executing internal CAD change management. Able to understand customer change management systems. Ensure accuracy and proper protocol when submitting math data.

Ensures accurate execution of assignments related to Engineering Change Notices while maintaining proper revision levels and change sequencing.

Possesses intermediate skills in CAD techniques (e.g. surfacing, solid modelling, assembly management/manipulation, rendering, drafting, para metrics, kinematics, etc.). Willing to move between CAD platforms and is capable of rapidly learning new software.

Possesses intermediate ability to perform data transfers and translations, as needed.

Follows CAD file management best practices, and individual CAD file data integrity, based on company standards.

Act as a liaison to customer/supplier. Capable of managing: customer/supplier communication, relationship building/maintenance, meetings, presentations and needs.
