What you'll do:
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
As a member of the Protection, Control and Solutions Business's Advanced Technology Team, the lead mechanical designer leads the creation of successful mechanical designs of next generation circuit breakers using Pro/Engineer Creo 7.0. Including, but not limited to, generating 3D concept models, minimum viable product designs, detailed drawing specification packages and bill of material creation under the guidance of project engineers.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:
A. Create robust and flexible 3D CAD models to support department engineering project teams. Perform modelling and simulation to compare, evaluate and select concepts for development.
B. Produces design layouts and documentation for the construction and testing of prototype models and evaluates designs for fits, tolerance stack, volume, etc., using CAD tools
C. Design parts for molding, stamping, machining, casting, extrusion, and powder metal using standard materials. Optimize part and assembly designs for performance, manufacturability and cost.
D. Create and revise engineering drawings of parts and assemblies to support manufacturing tooling, fixtures, equipment, and the inspection of components. Participate in print reviews.
E. Control engineering documentation and models using engineering change orders within a product data management system including CAD data vault.
F. Provide CAD-based illustrations for presentations, manufacturing instructions, and product literature.
G. Maintain current knowledge of CAD, design/manufacturing technologies applicable to the product line and cross-train to share knowledge across the team.
H. Apply industry and team standards/best practices to modeling, drawing and data management to support global collaboration.
I. Assist in creating, measuring and evaluating prototypes to identify and resolve design problems
J. Create functional dimension and tolerance schemes with consideration of manufacturing process capability.
K. Contribute to and generates value added intellectual property.
