The Senior Designer (CAD Designer) provides computer‑aided design and technical drawing support for new product research and development, including derivatives of our existing product lines. They work under the direction of design engineers and are responsible for interpreting industry design and drafting standards, military specifications, and company internal procedures.

• Associate’s degree, Mechanical Engineering Technology degree or Electrical Technology degree
• 4–7 years’ experience working as an electro‑mechanical designer
• Experience with PTC Technology at least Creo 4.0 and Windchill 12.0
• Experience in mechanical design, material properties, fits and finishes, geometric tolerancing (GD&T) required
• Strong PTC CREO CAD solid modeling experience and understanding of mechanical design principles
• Demonstrated strong knowledge of separating operations such as turning, milling, drilling, boring and tapping metallic and polymer materials
• Knowledge of fluid components, including sealing element designs, bearings and other mechanical elements, electro‑mechanical packaging, PCB design, harness design a plus
• Strong verbal/written communication skills required for multi‑faced interactions with all levels of personnel within the organization
• Highly computer literate, with MS Office/PC expertise, and demonstrated experience with applicable systems, programs, equipment, etc.
• Must be a U.S. citizen

• Prepare detailed 3D design layouts of complex parts and assemblies, including fits, finishes, tolerances and material selection, as requested by the project engineer.
• Prepare simple design layouts of parts and assemblies, including fits and tolerances as requested by the project engineer or higher level designers.
• Prepare detailed manufacturing documentation of parts and assemblies in accordance with all company and industry standards, including a thorough tolerance stack‑up to prove design intent for fit and function.
• Support the creation of a standard library of parts and features for reuse later to support the department’s needs.
• Maintain existing documentation through the preparation and incorporation of ECN’s and AECN’s.
• Effectively interpret industry design and drafting standards, military specifications and company internal procedures.
• Participate in selected PDR and CDR reviews to help present design parameters.
• Perform basic trigonometry and solid geometry calculations.
• Detail‑check assemblies and drawings to company standards, including redraws.
• Apply practical knowledge of geometric tolerances (GTOL).
• Prepare fully annotated drawings of parts and assemblies from 3D Assembly models.
• Utilize existing Marotta hardware for new designs/redesigns, including detail searches using Marotta’s business system and custom software.
• Own projects from concept through production in an integrated, product‑development professional team environment.
• Analyze designs and determine opportunities for design improvements.
• Work with engineers to develop and evaluate the feasibility of designs.
• Apply tolerances on parts to satisfy design needs while meeting manufacturing and inspection requirements (GD&T certificates preferred).
• Create as‑built drawing packages with a high level of efficiency.
• Perform basic engineering calculations, tolerance stack‑ups, and determine the proper fits of moving and stationary parts.

• Conduct research as needed.
• Bring initiatives and activities to closure in a timely manner through effective interaction with individuals, both internal and external to the Marotta organization.
• Abide by all safety, quality, housekeeping, and company policies/procedures to ensure compliance with regulatory and internal system requirements.
