The position suits someone who enjoys a fast-paced engineering environment and is proficient with Creo or Solid Works.

Responsibilities

• Create and modify detailed 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings using Creo or Solid Works.
• Develop and maintain complete engineering documentation, including detailed drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and design revisions.
• Support engineers in the design and development of new products and large industrial equipment.
• Detail large mechanical assemblies and components to ensure they are ready for manufacturing.
• Ensure all drawings comply with established engineering standards and manufacturing requirements.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and project teams to identify and resolve design issues.
• Incorporate engineering change requests and revisions into existing designs in a timely and accurate manner.
• Assist with prototype and product development activities within the R&D group.
• Apply mechanical design principles and drafting standards to produce clear, accurate, and manufacturable drawings.
• Interpret engineering concepts and guidance to develop complete, detailed designs suitable for fabrication and assembly.

Essential Skills

• Associates degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Proficiency with Creo or Solid Works for 3D modeling and detailing.
• Strong 3D modeling and mechanical detailing experience for industrial or mechanical products.
• Experience creating detailed manufacturing drawings and assemblies, including dimensions, tolerances, and annotations.
• Understanding of mechanical design principles and industry-standard drafting practices.
• Ability to interpret engineering concepts and requirements and translate them into detailed designs and drawings.
• Strong attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and completeness in all documentation.
• Solid organizational skills to manage multiple design tasks, revisions, and documentation.
• Experience using CAD tools such as AutoCAD, Solid Works, Creo, Inventor, or similar 3D design software.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced engineering environment and support projects from concept through production.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience supporting research and development or new product development projects.
• Experience designing and detailing weldments, sheet metal components, and large assemblies.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes and fabrication techniques relevant to industrial equipment.
• Familiarity with engineering change management processes and tools.
• Experience with mechanical design, drafting, and detailing in a manufacturing setting.
• Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, and project teams.
• Interest in contributing to continuous improvement of design practices, standards, and documentation.
• Motivation to grow with a company offering contract opportunities and access to benefits.

Work Environment

You will work in a manufacturing environment that supports a dynamic research and development team focused on large-scale industrial equipment. The role involves regular interaction with engineers, manufacturing personnel, and project teams to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable. You will primarily use CAD tools such as Creo, Solid Works, AutoCAD, and potentially other 3D modeling platforms like Inventor to create and manage models, drawings, and documentation.

The environment is fast-paced, project-driven, and centered around moving products from concept through production while maintaining high engineering and quality standards. As part of a contract opportunity with a growing company, you will have access to benefits and work in a setting that values collaboration, precision, and continuous improvement.
