Job Summary:

This fast-paced job is a mix of CAD (computer-aided design) work and manufacturing support. Primary responsibilities include creating and maintaining 3D models and drawings for bearing components and assemblies to support Aerospace manufacturing. The role also provides vital input on product manufacturability and feedback on ever-improving manufacturing processes. We are seeking an experienced professional, but we will also consider entry-level applicants with the necessary skillsets.

This engineer manages the technical design and CAD functions within the Product Engineering Team and supports Application and Product Engineers in producing CAD drawings based on their inputs incorporating customer specifications and results from calculations.

Modeling and drafting tasks support both NPI (new product introductions) and changes/improvements to existing products. You'll support the manufacturing organization when issues arise. Both PTC (Creo/Windchill)
and Siemens (Teamcenter/NX)
products will be used. Maintaining standards and work instructions for drawing layouts, CAD best practices, and manufacturing processes is an important aspect of this role. Designers may also perform static and dynamic analysis using SKF proprietary software.
