Design & Development: Lead the generation of mechanical concepts and execute detailed mechanical design for new products and product enhancements.
CAD Modeling & Prototyping: Develop and maintain complex 3D models using SolidWorks. Use these models to drive hands-on prototyping and validation processes.
Design Optimization: Expertly apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to ensure design feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and production reliability.
Analysis & Validation: Conduct engineering analyses, including the application of Design tolerance and stack up analysis, Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), to ensure component fit and function. Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks Simulation or ANSYS to validate structural performance.
Documentation: Manage and execute all detailed design documentation, including 2D Drawings, Engineering Change Orders (ECOs), Bills of Materials (BOMs), and detailed design specifications.
Manufacturing & Assembly: Manufacture and assemble production components, applying strong hands-on skills and expertise in using hand tools and shop equipment.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Collaborate effectively with Software, System, manufacturing, testing, and other cross-functional teams to successfully transition designs from concept through full production.
