Knowledge of mapkeys, UDFs, skeletons, large assembly management, and piping is desired.
Ability to properly create and detail part prints including the use of GD&T.
Ability to create and detail assembly drawings with many components on multi-page drawings.
Business System Skill: Bill of Material (BOM) Creation/Maintenance: Comprehension on how BOM’s work to ensure proper part release strategy
Sales Order BOM: Understand Price Book options and their dependencies.
Machine Design Component Design: Apply proper fits to precision components, choose a component based on the manufacturer's data to suite a design specification, design for ease of manufacturing.
System Design: develop options based on Customer Specifications from similar designs, designs consist of static assemblies, design for ease of assembly.
Component/Assembly Identification: Attend machine launch meetings and verify machine and assembly completeness and compliance.
Impact Estimation: provide Engineering hours and material cost estimation for quotations.
Sheet Metal Design: use proper locating holes, rip reliefs, hand bends, and slots. Design for ease of manufacturing and assembly, use proper design intent.
Detailing - GD&T: GD&T and Tolerance Applications: Apply simple GD&T using examples or under instruction. Use standards book to apply proper fits.
