The Project Design Engineer must have knowledge of production techniques available to be used, for example, welding and fabrication, and bolted assembly techniques. The use of innovative fixing solutions is also encouraged. Knowledge of these functions is essential to product designs that are economical to manufacture.
Project Management
* Ensure timely delivery of key stages of the design project.
CAD Concept and Presentations
* Produce concept models and drawings using Autodesk Inventor for customer approval and quotations.
CAD Detailing
* Produce information from drawings for a variety of end users, skilled and unskilled, in all areas of the business from manufacturing to sales and purchasing.
* Create full manufacturing drawings from Autodesk Inventor models for a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including but not limited to welded fabrication and manual assembly.
CAD Modeling
* Model parts, sub-assemblies, and projects in Autodesk Inventor.
* Work on and update information from SolidWorks format and AutoCAD 2D drawings and import them into the Autodesk Inventor system.
CAD Parametric Family Models
* Design using the parametric functions of Inventor to enable adaptable parts and assemblies to be designed, allowing product families to be rapidly manipulated.
CAD Simulation
* Understand CAD Simulation functions available within Inventor to optimize part and assembly design.
* Learn how to use Simulation to carry out basic structural and stability analysis.
Computer Skills
* Proficient in the use of current computer systems, email, and desktop applications.
Customer Brief
* Understand customer brief, and if necessary, visit customer site to take measurements and details.
In Structural Design Rules
* Ensure in-house structural requirements and standards are met.
* Understand legal and statutory requirements, including but not limited to the machinery directive, EN standard requirements, and current Health & Safety Law.
Stress Analysis and Stability
* Ensure stress and stability calculations are carried out, understood, and recorded.
Verification
* Ensure verification of the project is recorded.
Validation
* Ensure validation of the project is carried out and recorded.
