About The Position

Designer (Machine Design & Automation) Build Better Machines. Solve Real Problems. Make an Impact. Are you the kind of person who looks at a piece of equipment and immediately starts thinking about how to make it better? Do you enjoy a mix of machine design, automation, troubleshooting, and hands-on technical work? If so, we'd love to meet you. As a Designer, you'll play a key role in developing, improving, and implementing manufacturing equipment and automation systems. This is not a traditional drafting position. While you'll create and update drawings when needed, your primary focus will be applying machine design expertise to solve production challenges, improve performance, and drive innovation. You'll work closely with Engineers, Operations, Maintenance, suppliers, and technicians to bring ideas from concept to reality while helping ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and on time.

Drafting and/or design experience to include application of design techniques, tools, and principles involved in production of precision technical plans, blueprints, drawings, and/or models
Experience with applying and interpreting Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
Understanding of engineering drawings, principles, materials and manufacturing processes
Ability to successfully prioritize, and organize projects, deadlines, and tasks with little supervision in both team and independent environments
