Develops detailed design drawings and related specifications of mechanical equipment, according to engineering sketches and design proposal specifications:

Analyzes engineering sketches, specifications, and related data and drawings to determine design factors, such as size, shape, and arrangement of parts. Sketches rough layout of part or machine and computes angles, weights, surface areas, dimensions, radii, clearances, tolerances, leverages, and location of holes. Drafts detailed multi-view drawings of assemblies and subassemblies, including specifications for gear ratios, bearing loads, and direction of moving parts, using engineering data and standard references. Applicant must have extensive experience utilizing geometric dimensioning and tolerance of engineering products. The Sr Principal Engineering Designer will prepare designs and/or drawings utilizing computer-aided design equipment, perform necessary calculations, and coordinate design criteria with engineering, manufacturing, tooling, material/ planning groups. The Sr Principal Engineering Designer will have knowledge in the development of advanced conceptual and detailed designs, tolerance stacking, tooling and manufacturing. Will be responsible for designing products and/or systems such as; geared mechanisms, cams, followers, linkages, hydraulics, electro mechanics, controls and instrumentation, as well as other mechanical systems. Working knowledge of the American Gear Manufactures Association (AGMA) gear standards is desired but not required. Responsible for the implementation of design modifications to eliminate component or system malfunctions. Will analyze product design data to determine conformance to established design selection criteria and use of standardized parts and equipment. Shall develop design modifications based on producibility, cost, and component technology factors. Familiar with concurrent engineering practices to include working with high end structural and dynamic analysis and systems engineering groups.
