Designer

Job Description
Prepares 3D math data, working layouts and typical section of automotive vehicle components, assemblies or systems from engineering specifications, prior layouts, well-defined sketches, and engineering instructions.


Responsibilities:

⎯ Develop and design mechanical systems/components with consideration to installation space, functionality, manufacturability, and availability.

⎯ Design parts and systems in a manner that reflects the forming and fabrication processes and capabilities of the manufacturing and assembly tooling.

⎯ Create 2D drawings that are completed with enough data to ensure that the part can be manufactured, quoted, or gauged for functionality.

⎯ Apply customer given standards and procedures within the part or assembly design.

⎯ Apply geometric dimension and tolerancing to components and systems and identify potential impact to production processes.
⎯ Coordinate with involved process partners about constructive design, material selection, concept of tolerance, and joining method and sequence.
⎯ Provide recommendation for improvements to optimize the components or assemblies.
⎯ Participate in the development of Design Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (DFMEA).
⎯ Prepare and maintain the Bill of Materials (BOM).
