Working with aerospace, defense, space, automotive, energy, and other precision-engineering applications, this position plays a key role in developing high-quality components and assemblies. From high performance aerospace assemblies to precision-engineered wheel systems, the Designer helps turn concepts into manufacturable designs while maintaining a strong focus on safety, accuracy, quality, and customer requirements.
Design & Drafting • Create detailed 2D drawings and 3D models of components, assemblies, fixtures, and tooling using CAD software. • Interpret customer drawings, specifications, models, and technical documentation to develop accurate manufacturing designs. • Apply GD&T, dimensions, tolerances, material specifications, and other engineering requirements to drawings. • Modify and update existing drawings and 3D models based on engineering changes, customer revisions, or manufacturing requirements.
• Create and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), part lists, and other supporting design documentation as required. • Review designs for accuracy, completeness, manufacturability, and compliance with applicable requirements. • Support the development of aerospace components, precision wheel systems, assemblies, and other customer-specific products. • Assist with the design and documentation of new products, components, tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing processes. • Maintain accurate revision control and ensure current drawings and documentation are properly released and maintained. Manufacturing & Engineering Support • Work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and other departments to resolve design and production issues. • Collaborate with machinists, fabricators, engineers, and other manufacturing personnel to improve manufacturability and production efficiency. • Provide design support and clarification to manufacturing personnel when questions arise regarding drawings or specifications. • Assist in identifying design issues, dimensional conflicts, tolerance concerns, and other potential manufacturing problems.
• Participate in design reviews and provide recommendations for improvements when appropriate. • Support prototype, first article, and production activities as needed. • Assist with troubleshooting and developing solutions for design-related manufacturing issues. • Incorporate feedback from manufacturing and quality personnel into drawings and design revisions.
• Maintain organized engineering and design files in accordance with company procedures. Customer & Project Support • Review customer requirements, drawings, specifications, and technical documentation for completeness and accuracy. • Communicate with internal teams regarding project requirements, design changes, and production needs. • Support projects from initial concept and design through manufacturing and final production. • Help ensure projects remain aligned with customer specifications, quality requirements, and established deadlines.
• Maintain professional and effective communication with customers and internal departments when design-related information is required. Qualifications • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy • Effective written and verbal communication skills • Strong organization, time-management, and problem-solving abilities • Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines • Basic understanding of accounts receivable and accounts payable processes • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and general computer applications • Ability to learn and use ERP and accounting systems • Ability to work independently and collaboratively with multiple departments • Professional judgment and discretion when handling confidential information Minimum Experience and Education • High school diploma or equivalent • Proven experience as a mechanical designer/drafter in aerospace, automotive, or related precision engineering fields.
• Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks or CATIA) for both 2D drafting and 3D modeling. • Understanding of GD&T and manufacturing processes. Physical Requirements • Ability to sit and work at a computer for extended periods • Frequent use of a keyboard, mouse, telephone, and standard office equipment • Ability to move throughout the facility and use stairs • Job requires occasional walking, standing, reaching, bending, and carrying • Ability to safely lift and carry up to 15 pounds occasionally Work Environment This position is primarily performed in a professional office located within an active manufacturing facility. Employees may be exposed to intermittent machining, fabrication, and material-handling noise. Employees must remain alert to machinery, forklifts, materials, and changing floor conditions; follow posted safety rules and designated walkways; and wear required personal protective equipment, which includes safety glasses and closed-toe shoes.
