This position is responsible for designing innovative and complex golf products by utilizing advanced skills in computer-aided design (CAD) software and a high level of proficiency in 3-D CAD modeling of complex shapes, including advanced surfacing. This position will collaborate with and gather input from industrial designers, marketing managers, design engineers, research analysts, and manufacturing engineers to create models to achieve defined product performance and aesthetic goals. Documentation output required.
Essential Functions And Key Responsibilities
In collaboration with Advance Design and/or Research Engineers, utilizes specialty skills in CAD and Analysis to conduct a wide variety of complex tasks in the creation/production of new designs, prototypes, and/or fixturing and tooling (75% Creo/ProE, 10% basic FEA analysis)
Strong contributor to development of new designs or processes at all stages, from concept creation to production tooling.
Use highest level of CAD skill and problem solving to create robust 3-D models and finished CAD drawings based on sketches from Industrial design and specs from product definition documentation.
Utilize FEA software to create and run simulations to determine model behavior.
Ensure accurate and controlled documents/specifications are generated for new product designs and manufacturing processes according to an established schedule. Transfer engineering drawings and files to outside vendors and necessary internal customers.
Communications with outside vendors to clarify specifications, and coordinate/track prototypes.
Manage internal resources daily to coordinate/deliver rapid prototype designs, fixtures, gauges, masters, and all other tooling-related items.
Facilitate component measurement and product evaluation to ensure design features, part assembly, and/or manufacturing of components is within desired specs. Conduct lab testing independently, handle and check parts.
