Sr Designer, Engineering

W-2 Contract

Duration - 3 to 6 Months

Location - Draper, UT 84020

Pay - $37 to $43.60/hour

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Designer with a focus on Production Tooling Design to join our team. The ideal candidate will have experience in design and development of custom tooling used to precisely hold and position workpieces during manufacturing processes, such as cutting, assembly, or inspection, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in production by creating specialized jigs and fixtures tailored to specific parts and operations.

This role involves troubleshooting problems and implementing timely and effective changes. Work closely with the process operations, NPD, manufacturing and quality engineering groups to release components from the development stage to the production stage. Transforms engineering specifications to finished CAD Designs for manufacturing tooling/fixtures (e.g. detailed assembly drawings and part drawings). Advises engineering on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), critical dimensions of the design, and alerts the engineers to potential issues regarding the fabrication process.

Key Responsibilities:

* Create new designs utilizing parametric solid modeling software or applications to develop basic data, assemblies and detailed parts of devices, mechanisms, and structures, assess viability of engineering specifications/concepts including advising engineers on suggested revisions on designs

* Design complex fixtures, incorporating ease of manufacturing, safety, performance, and reliability; and selecting equipment and materials, contractual specification requirements and cost; including recommending alternates and solutions needed to achieve the intended design objective.

* Identify design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommend revisions and/or improvements in design layout to responsible engineers or designers throughout the validation process including redline reviews

* Process Engineering Change Requests (ECR) including describing changes and providing corresponding technical justification; checking completed layouts and drawings for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications; and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning and notes necessary to present design proposals

* Consult with and provide input to Engineers on Edwards drawing standards and CAD tools, maintaining integrity of the CAD PDM (Product Data Management) modeling software

* Develop presentations and present proposal on designs across internal and external functions to secure consensus on the design viability and functionality

* Other incidental duties

Education and Experience:

8 years related experience - required

Associate's degree or equivalent in in related field - preferred

Additional Skills:

* Excellent written and verbal communication skills and interpersonal relationship skills including negotiating and relationship management skills

* Problem solving methodology, tolerance analysis, and GDP (Good Documentation Practices)

* Proven expertise in usage of CAD (e.g. Creo, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CAD PDM) and MS Office Suite

* Experience reading, interpreting, and creating drawings

* Ability to read, comprehend, write, and speak English

* Full understanding of CAD design principles, techniques and procedures including parametric solid models

* Full understanding of ASME Y14.5M-2018 drawing standards

* Advanced ability to utilize 2-D and 3-D CAD software

* Good understanding of fabrication processes (e.g. machining, molding) to leverage in creating and evaluating designs

* Good understanding of materials and materials properties

* Good understanding of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) concepts and principles

* Knowledge of and adherence to Environmental Health and Safety and Quality guidelines

* Strict attention to detail

* Must be able to work in a team environment, including inter-departmental teams and representing the organization on specific projects

* Ability to build productive internal/external working relationships

* Adhere to all company rules and requirements and take adequate control measures in preventing injuries to themselves and others as well as to the protection of environment and prevention of pollution under their span of influence/control

* Able to communicate ideas effectively to achieve the right outcome for team and customer. Seek diverse perspectives, listen to feedback, and are willing to change direction if it creates a better outcome.

* Knowledge of advanced CAD strategies (e.g. Top-Down Design, Master Models, Multi-Body, Sheet Metal)

* Ability to simultaneously manage multiple projects and tasks while effectively influencing, negotiating, and communicating with internal and external business partners, contractors, and vendors

* Experience utilizing rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and CNC machining to help validate part design

* Experience in creating Electrical Drawings and background in Electrical Design is a plus

* Experience in tools, gauges, jigs, and fixtures design, preferably in a medical devices' environment, is a plus

* Experience in CE Mark certification and other European Union's safety, health, and environmental protection requirements is a plus
