Will implement strict CAD modeling standards; utilize "model-check" tools and resolve design conflicts to meet modeling standards. Will design components and subsystems using interfaces from a master CAD model. Will develop, integrate component and subsystem designs as part of the single master target CAD model. In addition, candidate will be expected to incorporate redlines, complete drawing and model changes, federate parts and materials, and coordinate changes for release in EPDM. The candidate will also be expected to handle aspects of product acceptance reviews, Engineering Material Review Board (EMRB), and Responsible Engineer (Certified Principal Engineer or equivalent) functions.
