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.
