Mechanical Designer

Brunswick Corporation•Fond du Lac, WI

About The Position

Are you ready for what’s next? Come explore opportunities within Brunswick, a global marine leader committed to challenging conventions and innovating next-generation technologies that transform experiences on the water and beyond. Brunswick believes “Next Never Rests™,” and we offer a variety of exciting careers and growth opportunities within united teams defining the future of marine recreation. Innovation is the heart of Brunswick. See how your contributions will help transform vision into reality: Position Overview: As a Mechanical Designer on the Mercury Marine Engineering team, you will create engine or outboard component models and drawings for new programs and current product improvements. In this role you will drive the execution of mechanical component design through 3D CAD modeling. You will create drawings from these models and detail with the required Mercury specifications for the proper manufacture and inspection to achieve component form, fit, and function in the intended application. At Brunswick, we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver. Essential Functions: Mechanical component design and development using CAD modeling with PTC Creo; this may include injection molded plastics, molded rubber, sheet metal, and casting/machining parts. Conceptualization of mechanical solutions with defined constraints or design targets. Develop component and assembly drawings utilizing applicable Mercury specifications and proper GD&T. Create all types of supporting CAD files to determine form, fit, and function: solid modeling parts, drawings, working with assemblies, layouts, overlays, and motion envelopes. Communicate effectively with cross-functional design departments to resolve packaging and component interfaces. Work with manufacturing and/or suppliers to optimize design features for manufacturability and/or ease of assembly. Work with internal model makers to create prototypes or supporting test fixtures or tools. Maintain a technical knowledge of manufacturing and design practices to guide and develop component optimization. Learn latest 3D CAD modeling techniques and maintain efficiency with new software releases. Perform Drawing releases, Quote submissions, and Shop Build Orders for prototype parts. Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however, others can be developed along the way.
