• Document and review mechanical design specifications to ensure clarity, completeness, and alignment with project requirements.
• Develop mechanical design concepts using Autodesk Inventor and other CAD tools, applying appropriate modeling techniques and design architectures.
• Create preliminary and detailed 3D models in Autodesk Inventor in accordance with internal standards and best practices.
• Produce detailed part drawings and assembly drawings that comply with internal drawing standards and support accurate fabrication and assembly.
• Organize, manage, and release models and drawings following internal procedures and configuration control processes.
• Incorporate design changes based on feedback from internal and external stakeholders, ensuring that updates are accurately reflected in models and drawings.
• Prepare complete fabrication drawing packages and specifications to support sub-contractor quoting and manufacturing activities.
• Work closely with fabricators and machine shops to clarify design intent, address manufacturability concerns, and ensure high-quality products.
• Inspect fabricated parts and assemblies through physical configuration audits to verify conformance to drawings and specifications.
• Collaborate closely with the assembly team to understand, troubleshoot, and resolve design-related assembly issues in a timely manner.
• Log, track, and manage Engineering Changes and Waivers in accordance with internal processes and configuration management requirements.
• Apply skeleton modeling or top-down modeling techniques to manage complex assemblies and maintain design integrity.
• Use GD&T callouts and perform tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure proper fit, function, and manufacturability of components and assemblies.
• Apply relevant welding standards to welded structures and assemblies in the design.
• Use PDM software and methods, such as Autodesk Vault, to manage CAD data, revisions, and access control.
• Utilize static and dynamic structural FEA tools to support structural analysis and validate design decisions.
• Participate in cross-functional collaboration with systems engineering, mechanical design, and assembly teams to deliver integrated training and simulation solutions.
• Communicate design decisions, issues, and status clearly and professionally with team members and stakeholders.
• Maintain a high level of organization, meet deadlines, and ensure strong attention to detail throughout the design and documentation process.

Essential Skills

• 3+ years of mechanical design experience.
