Solidworks Designer

(Must be a U.S. Citizen)

We are seeking a SolidWorks Designer to support mechanical design and development for a reactor project. This role requires strong SolidWorks proficiency, experience designing large assemblies and machinery, and a practical understanding of manufacturing processes. The ideal candidate will develop detailed, production-ready designs that incorporate design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA), geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and ASME Y14.5 standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed SolidWorks 3D models for mechanical components, machinery, and large assemblies supporting the reactor project.
• Create and revise 2D engineering drawings, including component details and assembly documentation.
• Apply GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards to communicate design intent and manufacturing requirements.
• Incorporate DFM/DFA principles to simplify fabrication, improve assembly efficiency, and support cost-effective production.
• Design mechanical components and assemblies with consideration for fit, function, clearances, accessibility, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to resolve design issues and support fabrication and assembly.
• Review designs for accuracy, completeness, and alignment with project requirements.
• Update models and drawings to incorporate engineering changes and manufacturing feedback.

Required Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modeling, assembly modeling, and engineering drawing creation.
• Experience designing and managing large, complex mechanical assemblies.
• Background in machine design within a manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 standards and the application of GD&T.
• Demonstrated understanding of DFM/DFA principles.
• Ability to translate design requirements into accurate, manufacturable components and assemblies.
• Strong attention to detail, mechanical problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate with engineering and production teams.
