Huntington Ingalls•Newport News, VA

3d•Onsite

About The Position

Candidates should have a desire to work with 3D models and a strong understanding of the 3D model environment. Designers will be expected to utilize 3D tools to create models and apply product model information such as dimensions and annotations for manufacturing trades. Designs components or portions of systems and modifies existing designs to develop or improve products and facilitate manufacturing operations. Utilizes computer-aided design equipment and/or graphic tools such as, CAD, CAM, NX, or CATIA. Gathers information, makes studies, computes calculations, and prepares original rough layouts, sketches to present design proposal. Coordinates design criteria with engineering, manufacturing, tooling, material, and planning group such as ease of manufacture, availability of materials, and contractual specifications. Exclude classifications in which incumbents predominantly perform drafting assignments.
