    • CAD Library management
    • CAD template management
  • CAD data management in Windchill
    • BOM creation and management
    • Submission and herding of Promotion Requests
  • Identification of OTS components that meet engineering specifications
  • Product design in support of engineering requirements
  • Support cross-functional design reviews through production of quality CAD screenshots, renderings, and creation of presentation slides

About you:

  • Expert in Creo, including top down modeling, drafting, and library management
  • Expert in Windchill, promotion requests, file management, BOM management
  • Fluent in the application of GD&T to mechanical parts and assemblies
  • Expert knowledge in several of the following manufacturing processes: sheet metal, machining, casting, injection molding
