This Mechanical Designer role focuses on producing clear, build-ready product definition that manufacturing teams can execute with confidence. Success is measured by the quality and accuracy of NX models and drawings, correct and consistent GD&T application, and proactive management of tolerance stack-ups to ensure parts assemble and function as intended. You will work from engineering inputs through released documentation while maintaining configuration control in a Teamcenter-managed environment.
Responsibilities:
- Create and release high-quality assembly drawings and single-part drawings that fully define components for manufacturing and inspection.
- Develop 3D CAD models in Siemens NX that support downstream needs such as fabrication, assembly, tooling, and quality verification.
- Apply GD&T per ANSI Y14.5 to establish functional requirements, clearances, and fits, and ensure drawings are unambiguous and inspectable.
- Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to evaluate variation risk and drive design adjustments that improve fit, function, and manufacturability.
- Manage CAD data, revisions, and releases in Siemens NX with Teamcenter, maintaining traceability and configuration integrity.
- Produce product definition in a linked model environment, including 2D cross-sections, 2D drawings, and reusable 3D model features as needed.
- Partner with engineering and supply chain stakeholders to confirm interface agreements between mating components and resolve dimensional constraints.
- Drive drawing and model updates through change cycles, ensuring documentation stays aligned to current design intent and build requirements.
Required Skills:
- 5+ years of experience in a mechanical design, product definition, or CAD-focused role.
- Non-negotiable Siemens NX CAD (formerly Unigraphics) experience delivering production-ready models and drawings.
- Experience working in Siemens NX with Teamcenter for data management, revision control, and release processes.
- Proficiency in GD&T (ANSI Y14.5), including the ability to complete a GD&T drawing test as part of candidate submittal.
- Demonstrated experience producing high-quality assembly drawings and single-part drawings that define components for manufacturing/build.
- Strong understanding of tolerance stack-ups and the impact of variation on component and assembly fit, function, and manufacturability.
Preferred Skills:
- Experience with welding and additive manufacturing/3D printing workflows.
- Background in mechanical routing and packaging within constrained assemblies.
- Automotive interior or exterior design experience, including complex models and A-side/B-side surface considerations.
- Exposure to hardware design and common manufacturing methods such as injection molding and forgings.
- Experience with 3D printing software such as EOSPRINT, Concept Laser WRX, or equivalent tools.
- Familiarity with DMLM printing machines and related constraints on design and documentation.
- Experience with NX Surfacing and building robust surface models that support downstream definition.
- Willingness and ability to travel periodically for onsite design reviews or build support as needed.
- Experience with model meshing and analysis to support design decisions and manufacturability.
- Competency with Microsoft Office tools for documentation, reviews, and basic analysis.
- Associate’s degree in a drafting-related field or equivalent hands-on product definition experience.
- Experience creating product definition in a linked model environment, including 2D cross-sections, 2D drawings, and 3D reusable models.
