Designer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Idaho.

📋 Description

• Interpret engineering specifications into comprehensive drawings, 3D parametric models, assemblies, and technical documentation that facilitate fabrication and installation.

• Create and update 2D drawings, 3D parametric models, assemblies, and relevant documentation using approved engineering guidelines.

• Generate drawings that outline geometry, interfaces, materials, finishes, processes, tolerances, inspection criteria, and assembly relationships.

• Implement GD&T in line with ASME Y14.5-2009 standards.

• Assess tolerance accumulation and fit at both part and assembly interfaces.

• Utilize effective parametric modeling techniques, including fully constrained sketches, stable design intent, controlled references, and structured assembly configurations.

• Conduct independent verification of drawings and models for precision, completeness, fit, form, function, manufacturability, inspectability, and compliance with standards.

• Confirm the accuracy of bills of material, parts lists, item balloons, quantities, drawing references, notes, weld symbols, and revision details.

• Ensure the integrity of drawings and models through document control, revision management, configuration oversight, and record-keeping processes.

• Address technical review feedback and maintain an auditable record of modifications.

• Collaborate with engineers, designers, fabricators, and inspectors to clarify requirements and resolve any discrepancies.

• Manage assigned priorities, provide updates on progress, and communicate any concerns regarding scope, resources, or schedules.

• Assist with backlog reduction and provide mentorship to drafting personnel upon request.

• Undertake additional responsibilities as assigned by the BEA Technical Point of Contact.

• Provide occasional onsite assistance at the Idaho National Laboratory’s Materials and Fuels Complex when necessary.
