Job description
Prepares 3D math data, working layouts and typical section of automotive vehicle components, assemblies or systems from engineering specifications, prior layouts, well-defined sketches, and engineering instructions.
Responsibilities
⎯ Develop and design mechanical systems/components with consideration to installation space, functionality, manufacturability, and availability. ⎯ Design parts and systems in a manner that reflects the forming and fabrication processes and capabilities of the manufacturing and assembly tooling. ⎯ Create 2D drawings that are completed with enough data to ensure that the part can be manufactured, quoted, or gauged for functionality.
⎯ Apply customer given standards and procedures within the part or assembly design. ⎯ Apply geometric dimension and tolerancing to components and systems and identify potential impact to production processes. ⎯ Coordinate with involved process partners about constructive design, material selection, concept of tolerance, and joining method and sequence.
⎯ Provide recommendation for improvements to optimize the components or assemblies. ⎯ Participate in the development of Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA). ⎯ Prepare and maintain the Bill of Materials (BOM).
Requirements
- Engineering Degree or equivalent combination of education and experience
- Minimum of three years of related experience required; three to five (3-5) years of related experience preferred Other Skills: ⎯ Experience in CAD tools such as Solidworks or Inventor ⎯ Experience in creation of 2D drawings for part and assembly, 3D modeling, and surface modeling ⎯ Basic knowledge of GD&T and application ⎯ Knowledge of assembly and part tolerance stack ups
- Perform basic hand calculations for sizing the parts ⎯ Able to build 3D models in a manner that allows later changes to be realized quickly and easily Other Skills/Experience
- Source off the shelf parts like actuators, bearings, fasteners, standard steel sections
