Responsibilities

Create Complete and Accurate Prints and Solid Models: Responsible for the creation and improvement of component drawings and solid models. Work closely with the Manufacturing team to prepare conceptual sketches of new automation equipment from required specifications. Able to grasp new component design concepts, creating design layouts that determine the relationship between components, tolerances, allocation of space, and component geometry.
Design for Assembly and Manufacturability: Investigate design options to reduce cost, improve performance, and optimize manufacturability. Ensure design features, dimensions, tolerances, and allowances conform to functional and manufacturing requirements. Participate in machine assembly and set-up in accordance with produced drawings and documentation- involvement from design to production.
Design Change Requirements: Properly update and store prints in necessary locations with care toward ensuring revision control is maintained. Will be involved with redesign concepts to improve performance.
Scale Steep Learning Curve: Rapidly expand equipment and component knowledge. A wide variety of new machines and applications are developed within the Advanced Manufacturing department, requiring a successful Designer to grasp concepts and build a deep knowledge of component design requirements and available devices quickly.
