Job description

Johnson Service Group (JSG) is a professional staffing firm and we are recruiting for an experienced Mechanical Creo Designer for a 12-month contract assignment supporting the Idaho National Laboratory in Idaho Falls, ID. Work Status: Remote with occasional travel to Idaho Falls. Target W2 Pay Rate: $47.00 - $52.00/hour (commensurate with experience) Duration: 12-months Due to Federal DOD regulations: U.S. Citizenship is required.

Position Summary

This position will assess engineering requirements and translate into technical blueprints, drawings, layouts, and simulation models using CAD/CAM/CAE software or applying standard CAD/CAM/CAE techniques to digitize, edit, and revise engineering drawings of components, parts, and assemblies, or to model complex or unusual designs.

Responsibilities

• Develop and revise 2D drawings, 3D parametric models, assemblies, and associated documentation from approved engineering inputs.
• Create complete, unambiguous drawings that define geometry, interfaces, materials, finishes, processes, tolerances, inspection requirements, quantities, and assembly relationships needed for fabrication and installation.
• Select and apply functional datum reference frames, feature control frames, material condition modifiers, basic dimensions, and general tolerances in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009.
• Evaluate tolerance accumulation and fit at part and assembly interfaces; identify conditions that could prevent fabrication, inspection, assembly, interchangeability, or intended operation.
• Apply good parametric modeling practices, including stable design intent, fully constrained sketches, appropriate feature order, controlled references, reusable geometry, and clean assembly structure.
• Check drawings and models for fit, form, function, completeness, consistency, manufacturability, inspectability, and compliance with applicable drafting and engineering standards.
• Verify parts lists, item balloons, quantities, drawing references, zone locations, next-assembly information, notes, weld symbols, revision identifiers, and change markings across the full drawing package.
• Maintain drawing, model, and reference-file integrity through established document control, revision control, configuration management, and records processes.
• Resolve technical comments from engineers, independent checkers, fabricators, inspectors, and formal document change reviews, while preserving an auditable disposition of changes.
• Coordinate with engineers and other disciplines to clarify requirements, document assumptions, identify missing inputs, and recommend practical drawing or modeling solutions.
• Plan assigned work against negotiated priorities and dates; provide credible progress updates and raise scope, resource, or schedule concerns before commitments are missed.
• Support backlog reduction with a constructive, service-oriented approach and mentor drafting personnel in modeling, detailing, checking, and GD&T application when requested.

Education / Experience

• Bachelor's degree in engineering or similar technical field with 5+ years’ experience is preferred.
• In lieu of a degree, 10+ years of relative design experience is required.
• Overall specialization in precision mechanical design is required.
• 3+ years of advanced skill with PTC Creo design software is required.
• Familiarity with Windchill Data Management Software or comparable parametric 3D CAD software and Data Manager (PDM or Vault) and working knowledge of AutoCAD is preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to apply ASME Y14.5-2009 to real parts and assemblies, including datum systems, position, profile, orientation, runout, form controls, composite controls, projected tolerance zones, virtual condition, and bonus tolerance.
• Ability to explain why a GD&T scheme protects function and how the requirement can be manufactured and verified; ability to identify over-constrained, under-defined, conflicting, or non-inspectable requirements.
• Strong command of drawing layout, orthographic projection, section and detail views, dimensioning, tolerancing, weld symbols, parts lists, item ballooning, and revision practices.
• Ability to interpret engineering calculations, specifications, vendor data, design inputs, and redlines and convert them into controlled drawing content without changing engineering intent.
• Experience performing independent drawing checks and documenting clear, technically defensible comments.
• Working knowledge of materials, fabrication processes, machining, welding, inspection methods, assembly practices, and how these constraints affect drawing requirements.
• Ability to use logic and structured problem solving to compare alternatives, recognize risk, and resolve discrepancies across models, drawings, bills of material, and source documents.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to ask focused questions, explain technical decisions, accept review feedback, and work effectively with personnel of varied experience levels.

Benefits

• JSG offers access to medical, dental, vision, life insurance options, short-term disability, 401(k), weekly pay, and more.
