SUMMARY:
The Designer develops CAD surfacing, the modeling & design of models and molds to create prototype fiberglass parts, drape forms, foam & wood models. Design mechanism or framework for prototype builds.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
CAD Part Design: Responsible for creating innovative design concepts and complete product designs in 3D, and drawing release per engineering direction. Coordinate design-related workload with designated Design Engineer. Apply engineering principles to design, modify or develop components for low-volume or prototype applications. Recommend materials for project applications.
Tooling Design: Responsible for designing tooling molds/fixtures for prototype manufacturing. Create run-off surface for milling. Develop drawings for foam glue-up sizes. Design steel tube framework for models; lay our full assembly of components.
Drawing Release: Creation of models for release. Follows drawing release and engineering change processes and capable of performing all clash/clearance checks necessary.
Design for Manufacturing: Follows applicable Design for Manufacturing standards for part creation.
BOM: Provides applicable support to the Design Engineer to create applicable Bill of Materials for projects.
Shop Floor Support: Assist shop floor with any assembly issues during prototype manufacturing
Problem Solving: Use a first principles based approach to problem solving. Participate in cross-functional teams to quickly and efficiently solve complex problems as they arrive.
