• Design and detail:
• Machine structures and frames
• Sheet metal components
• Welded assemblies
• Machined components
• Baskets, trolleys, fixtures and material-handling systems
• Mechanical assemblies and machine accessories
• Generate BOMs, part lists, fabrication drawings and assembly drawings.
• Apply appropriate dimensions, tolerances, fits and GD&T wherever required.
• Ensure drawings are suitable for actual manufacturing, fabrication and assembly.
• Select suitable materials and understand their practical application in machine design.
• Coordinate closely with production, fabrication, machining, procurement, electrical and project teams.
• Discuss drawings with the shop floor and resolve manufacturing-related design issues.
• Modify and revise designs based on engineering requirements, production feedback and customer requirements.
• Maintain proper drawing numbering, revision control and design documentation.
• Support project engineers during machine development, fabrication and installation.
• Review completed assemblies and identify opportunities for design improvement, cost reduction and ease of manufacturing.
• Ensure designs are practical, reliable, safe and economical.
