About the position
The role of a Product Detail Design Checker is to check and verify all drawings, models, assemblies, and bills of material to industrial and company standards. These models and drawings consist of 3D NX models, 2D line work, and all the necessary reference information that allows downstream users to fully understand the scope of a given project. Also, on any given day you may attend scope kickoff meetings, answer questions from Siemens Energy manufacturing facilities and vendors, and as a senior member of the team there will be many opportunities to mentor others on the product design drafting team. This position does not have direct reports. Excellent collaboration and communication is critical to this role. Equally important to this role, is the growth experience this position offers the successful applicant beyond just the checker function. This position offers the applicant the ability to interact with the global Siemens-Energy Turbo Compression products (TCP) Organization and the potential to expand their role. The position reports directly to the Product Design Drafting Manager for the TCP Product line. This position can be located at the Siemens-Energy facility in either Olean, NY or Bethlehem, PA depending on the candidate's skills/experience.
