+ 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** :
Strong written and verbal communication skills. Must have the ability to communicate efficiently and effectively to advise engineers in dimensioning strategies.

** Design/Drafter 2*
* At this level, in addition to what was outlined at the lower level, may be project lead on process or product design. May assign tasks to and monitor work of project progress in the group when assigned lead responsibility to support engineers in dimensioning strategies. May supervise aspects of work of others and performs own work with minimal direction. Completed work is reviewed from the expectation of professional results without appreciable direction.
