Engineering Responsibilities + Experience

Generally, regardless of level of expertise, the Design Engineer (DE) ensures designs are profitable and within established budgets. They work closely with internal teams to understand design criteria, project requirements, and objectives. They generate accurate and detailed SolidWorks models and drawings that adhere to project requirements and Axiom standards. Creation of accurate bills of materials and parts lists that can be imported directly into production work orders and used for purchasing is a critical step. Understanding of Axiom’s machines, tooling, equipment, resources, and processes, and allows the DE to incorporate those capabilities into designs. They then validate designs to ensure profitability, feasibility, and alignment with client requirements.

Designs must be able to manufactured without undue challenges, taking into account manufacturing processes, material availability, and practicality of construction.
