Working knowledge of engineering concepts and basic skills in product data management and/or configuration management of part and assembly definition.

Working knowledge of industry standards such as ASME Y series design/drafting standards including Y14.5M Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). as related to design field. Ability to perform calculations in support of unique technical problems for fit, form and function. Works independently or as part of a team.

Design/Drafter 1 $ 48,500 - $75,000

Design/Drafter 2 $ 53,700 - $82,500

What You Need

Minimum

Job Requirements:



Design/Drafting

Experience:

Entry-Level to Fundamental understanding of:

• Component and tool design, fixturing, schematics, and tooling equipment
• Machine shop equipment like a mill, lathe, drill press, welder and inspection equipment
• Engineering materials and their suitability for component design and manufacture
• Three-dimensional parametric CAD systems and associated Product Data Management system
• Modeling and drawing drafting principals, application of standards, symbols, notes, GD&T on drawings and models to capture design intent
• Novel design solutions for unique and non-standard design challenges in either static or dynamic applications
• Application of design limits in non- routine environments

Collaboration/Teaming: Responsible for the development and design of large projects and works directly with customer to define requirements for the design solution. The successful candidate will have the ability to work on diverse teams and collaborate on designs from rough sketches with minimal guidance from senior level technicians. It is an expectation to facilitate design reviews with stakeholders, addressing compatibility between design drawings and models with other disciplines, clarifying interfaces and resolving issues.

Communication
