Work is generally reviewed by an engineer more senior than the incumbent.

NATURE AND SCOPE OF POSITION:

Typically this position reports either to the Drafting Supervisor or Engineering Section Head.

Working closely with Mechanical Design Engineering helping develop their thoughts and sketches, the incumbent should be capable of spatial visualization developing conceptual layouts for exploring possible design approaches.

The incumbent will need the judgment to evaluate and present design alternatives, drawing knowledge from previous designs for incorporation into product and manufacturing ideas.

The Mechanical Design Drafter will have the latitude to make design decisions which are often reviewed by engineers more senior than the incumbent. The incumbent receives instructions on specific assignment objectives, features, and possible solutions.

Engineering collaboration is typical with more complex problems and work is reviewed for application of sound professional judgment. The incumbent should possess the judgment to know when to seek technical direction if needed. The incumbent is expected to be a self-starter, internally motivated and exhibits a behavior that seeks to learn and can communicate clearly with others to accomplish his/her tasks.

Duties consist of participating in the graphical evolution of new products from layout to final drawings including correctness of proportion, visualization, clearance checks, arrangement of components, necessary dimensional information and material and/or process suggestions that can be used directly for manufacturing, assembly and test operations.

Occasionally it is necessary to contact or have meetings with other disciplines to discuss the best approach for either design or fabrication. This interface includes but is not limited to Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Product Engineering, Machine Shop and Development Lab. They also deals with outside vendors. As part of this process, the Mechanical Design Drafter will participate as a member of concurrent product development teams. They must design with attention toward design-to-cost,   manufacturability, and feasibility of assembly.

The Mechanical Design Drafter will support Engineering, Sales, and Program Management for bid and proposal efforts by providing layouts and assemblies in an expedient manner including compiling design data packages

(Models/Drawings/Data) for submittal into a complete package ready for transmittal to the customer.

QUALIFICATIONS:

In order to satisfactorily meet all requirements of this position, the candidate for this position should typically possess a minimum of an Associate’s Degree in a technical major plus a minimum of 8 years Design and Drafting experience.

To attain this position, the incumbent must have a well-rounded background derived from progression through all facets of Mechanical Drafting. In addition the Mechanical Design Drafter should possess above average understanding of machine shop practices, part fabrication methods, mechanical design engineering principles such as properties and strength of materials as well as stress and thermal effects is also required.

Also, Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) methodologies to meet design, manufacturing, inspection and analysis requirements, as well as the capability to design to the requirements of Space, Military and Commercial standards and specifications.

To fulfill the demands of design and development of new products this position requires self-starting instincts and the ability to utilize and quickly learn advanced design techniques.

Communication skills suitable for effective oral and written dealings with the technical community including customers and vendors are required.

Must have a comprehensive knowledge of good design and drafting practices, as well as techniques and possess proficient usage of CAD software and tools.

Ideally, advanced experience and knowledge in utilization of Siemens NX 3D Mcad design software is strongly desirable.

Additionally experience using NX, Solidworks, or PTC Creo is a plus. Knowledge and use of Teamcenter PLM is desirable as well.

The incumbent must also have a working knowledge of configuration management control of product design.

ACCOUNTABILITIES:

Translation of requirements emanating from a variety of sources used to generate 3D/Solid models, layouts, detailed engineering drawings, as well as supporting electronic data for manufacturing and inspection of fabricated parts and assemblies.

In conjunction with Engineering, ensures that the detailed integrity of designs, layouts, parts, BOM and Manufacturing data meets the intended design requirements.

Occasionally direct the efforts of drafting personnel in the completion of their tasks. This effort includes direction and input based on familiarity with the Moog Systems and Procedures, MBS, ECR/ECN workflow process, and configuration control requirements.

Create and check detail drawings for completeness and accuracy, ensures the parts list in Moog’s PLM(Teamcenter) and MBS (Moog Business System) is accurate and complete.
