Objectives of this Role :
Work within a highly collaborative team to support the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of unique, large article pressure vessels used in a variety of subsea or surface applications.
Utilize CAD software (Creo and / or Solidworks) to develop mechanical designs, visualize component fitments within assemblies, and generate fabrication drawings.
Apply knowledge of fabrication methods, assembly, and geometric dimensioning & tolerance (GD&T) to ensure components are designed in a way that can be manufactured and assembled.
Communicate ideas, results, and other information to coworkers as well as commercial and government clients.
Incorporate various design code, industry, and / or customer specifications to ensure compliance and performance requirements are met.
Daily and Monthly Responsibilities :
Generate low and high fidelity CAD models used for design evaluations, FEA purposes, to create fabrication drawings, and communicate conceptual ideas to customers.
Generate clear, concise reports, presentations, and other supporting documentation related to design and fabrication methods.
Interface with project managers and team members to identify, plan, and execute project objectives.
Regularly communicate status and schedule of ongoing activities.
Execute quality program objectives both internal and project-specific, that may include drawing reviews, ECO execution / revision processes, or other documentation review and retention requirements.
