Job description

Internal Essential functions of the job and specific requirements

Responsible for development and delivery of product design datasets (2D/3D) from concept to production and leading the development of design solutions. Support projects from Program Award through Start of Production.

• Manage design files, design studies, component & assembly drawings in file library system. Capable of sending files via a variety of transfer methods and formats (ex. Teamcenter).
• Apply knowledge of plastic part design, injection-molding into design concepts and develop “smart” parameterized 3D CAD models and 2D drawings in appropriate CAD environment.
• On time release of drawings and CAD data to meet tooling kick-off dates.
• Component and system designs that meet customer performance and YFAI manufacturing requirements.
• Ongoing assessments of design to ensure that manufacturing and performance risks are addressed.
• Identification and resolution of design related issues during development and launch. Manage day-to-day project details. Includes creating and updating CAD model and drawing schedules (timeline), identifying project tasks, and managing those tasks to successful and timely completion. Take ownership of assigned deliverables.
• Design product to cost targets (cost awareness).
• Root-cause and identify short and long-term countermeasures for resolution of design, engineering or manufacturing feasibility issues.
• Apply working knowledge of basic Lean engineering principles and problem-solving tools including benchmarking & reverse engineering, DFMEA, 8D’s, tactical planning, Kepner-Tregoe Problem Resolution, 5-Why process, etc.

Qualifications

• University degree in STEM.
• Typically, 5+ years of experience.
• Communicate effectively with standard tools and face-to-face with internal and external customers. Ability to clearly explain design concepts.
• Work effectively to lead in a team environment including direct, contract and global resources.
