EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

· B.S. with 5-10 years design experience.
· High Proficiency and speed with SolidWorks/ 3D modeling software required.
· Experience should include mechanical design of mechanical, electrical, and fluid handling or pneumatic parts and seals.
· Demonstrated ability to successfully implement a project from conception to finished product.
· Experience interfacing successfully with multiple production and fabrication resources such as internal production engineers, assembly and test technicians, machinists, welders, QA personnel and external machining/welding shops, parts, materials, and equipment vendors, as necessary to meet deadlines. Innovative, practical, and timely solutions are valued. Familiarity with Design Life Cycle and ECO, revision control processes.
· Proficiency with Microsoft Office including Excel, and SharePoint and electronic documentation system. MRP system, Electrical and or PLC/ Controls knowledge and experience is a plus.
· The job requires prolonged time sitting in front of a computer (while creating design models and drawings), and requires standing up for long time in front of machines while performing hands-on assembly and testing of the products (with commonly used tools and test equipment).
· Managing vendors will require driving to the fabricators/ vendors facilities off site to discuss, inspect and often pick up the parts while using one’s own transportation. Candidates should have the ability to lift to 50 lbs.
