Product Design Engineer

SKF•Falconer, NY

About The Position

This fast-paced job is a mix of CAD (computer-aided design) work and manufacturing support. Primary responsibilities include creating and maintaining 3D models and drawings for bearing components and assemblies to support Aerospace manufacturing. The role also provides vital input on product manufacturability and feedback on ever-improving manufacturing processes. We are seeking an experienced professional, but we will also consider entry-level applicants with the necessary skillsets. This engineer manages the technical design and CAD functions within the Product Engineering Team and supports Application and Product Engineers in producing CAD drawings based on their inputs incorporating customer specifications and results from calculations. Responsibilities include interpreting customer technical requirements and translating them into an SKF offering, including proposal and 1st tier drawings for all product platforms, evaluating technical risks, verifying product selection, and analyzing product field service and revision history. The engineer works with the SKF Aerospace team to bring game-changing products to the aerospace industry’s most demanding applications – for customers like Boeing, Airbus, General Electric, Pratt and Whitney, Rolls-Royce, Bell Flight, Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky, etc. These products cover a full spectrum of aircraft structural and rotating equipment bearing applications, including rolling element bearings, plain bearings, sealing solutions and composite airframe products. Within each category, products vary widely in size, complexity, loading, and other critical application characteristics, making each solution highly unique to its application. Modeling and drafting tasks support both NPI (new product introductions) and changes/improvements to existing products. You’ll support the manufacturing organization when issues arise. Both PTC (Creo/Windchill) and Siemens (Teamcenter/NX) products will be used. Maintaining standards and work instructions for drawing layouts, CAD best practices, and manufacturing processes is an important aspect of this role. Designers may also perform static and dynamic analysis using SKF proprietary software.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology preferred).
Experience with commercial CAD and PLM software – PTC and/or Siemens preferred.
US Citizenship is required.
Must be able to work as an individual as well as in a team environment, including leading small projects.
Strong understanding of GD&T.

Nice To Haves

Calculation experience involving statics and dynamics.
Strong problem-solving skills.
