Design products according to established Essai product design rules and GD&T standards
When custom creations and/or departures from the standard product system rules are needed, the designer must be capable of creating parts that adhere to general good DFM/DFA practices
Monitor project schedule deadlines and manage a list of multiple projects simultaneously from initial customer contact to first article inspection
Interact directly with the customer to collect design input information, send and receive documents for approval, and, in general, be skilled in professional-level customer service communications and technical discussions both over the phone, via email, and/or over the internet in web meetings
Understand the technical capabilities and available options for existing Essai product systems so that the designer may talk knowledgably about the product with customers, and later configure/design the product correctly within established system rules
Be responsible and driven such that the designer can successfully resolve issues and assigned tasks with only general high-level instructions from the manager
Interact with product system owners and the applications engineer department as needed where direct oversight and direction is necessary and/or required by Essai internal processes
Be capable of writing technical documents in English at an engineering level
Use SolidWorks on a daily basis to create models, drawings, and BOM’s. Capability and speed is critical, especially in all standard SolidWorks functions and features such as assemblies, configuration, mates, and general good modeling practices. Basic capability in FEA is required, including structural and CFD analysis
Interact with Essai’s enterprise Resource Planning software to create part numbers, communicate project status, and various other complex functions
Quickly and accurately create SolidWorks models and drawings from supplied reference examples
Attention to detail combined with efficiency and speed is critical
Quickly and accurately perform Engineering Change Orders (ECO’s)
