U103 CADD MECH DSGN DRFTR

Description

PRIMARY FUNCTION:

Under general direction of the Engineering Drafting Manager, perform 3D CADD solid modeling, with knowledge and understanding of mechanical design principles.  Develop solid models and 2D drawing.  

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Use CADD software to develop concise and complex parametric solid models and drawings that meet engineering requirements. Be proficient in creation and constraint of features using a sketcher or equivalent.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with engineers and drafting personnel to clarify requirements and resolve issues.
• Plan and prioritize work to meet multiple deadlines while maintaining organized models, files, and documentation.
• Incorporate design intent into the solid model by managing parent/child relationships; assigning functional relations; using simplified reps, reference sets, layer settings or similar functions to control designs.
• Apply drafting fundamentals including orthographic views, standard dimensioning, scaling, and correct use of English and Metric units.
• Prepare drafting time estimates for project based on schedule and resources.
• Maintain and follow work plan for project to ensure a complete design/drawing package is completed on time and within the employee resources.
• Follow established Engineering Change and documentation control processes.
• Prepare Engineering Revision Notice, and assist Design Engineering team with engineering drawing revisions and required documentation
• Use PLM tools (Teamcenter) to create, manage, revise, and release CADD data and associated documentation.
• Ensure drawing and model structure meet the requirements of engineering parts lists.
• Apply working knowledge of machinery and mechanical components in modeling and detailing.
• Perform all work to required quality standards and within agreed schedules.
• Maintain certification for GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)/CADD and take and acceptably pass written tests.
• Performs work of equal or lower code level as required.

SCOPE: Intra-department

PURPOSE: To obtain information and guidance from other drafters and supervision.

FREQUENCY OF CONTACT: Frequent

SCOPE: Inter-department

PURPOSE: To obtain and disseminate clerical or shop equipment information.

FREQUENCY OF CONTACT: Limited

DIRECTION OF OTHERS:

Provides guidance and assistance to lower classified drafting and technical personnel, as required.

DIRECTION RECEIVED:
