CAD Draftsman

Kincer Chassis is seeking a full-time draftsman to make part drawings and manage our part file system.

Duties Include:

· Editing drawings to be in line with current format. We have come up with a standardized template that needs to be applied to all production parts. This includes standard tolerances and fits.

· Handling part revisions. There are constantly production improvements that are needed for parts on the floor. These changes will often be in the 3D cad models, which will have to be taken over to the 2D drawings, as well as our revision logging process.

· Creating New Drawings. Throughout the R&D process, there are several stages where drawings will need to be done. This will include prototype drawings, as well as production drawings for a pilot program. You will be expected to take a 3D assembly down to its individual parts, and prepare drawings for cutting, bending, and assembly.

· Organizing these drawings into a usable structure for the shop floor. We are working towards a kiosk on the shop floor in which employees can go to find drawings for any part they might be working on. On the back end, this will involve organizing the production ready drawings in such a way that the employees can quickly find and utilize these drawings.

· Miscellaneous Documentation Creation. At the start of this process, the work load will be heavy on transitioning drawings to the new format. As this workload decreases, you may begin to work on documentation that is needed for production, such as processes, various logs, shop instructions, or customer instructions.

· Production Documentation Maintenance. This is referring to any changes in processes that have to implemented shop wide. This could range from a small change on a customer instruction, to reworking an outdated in-house process and generating the accompanying documentation.

· Post-Pilot Streamlining. After the initial rush of drawing edits and updates has subsided, there will be some time to learn the processes for individual parts. From here, the processes will have to be analyzed and cost/time saving measures be implemented. Some examples of this would be the combining of jigs in fabrication, or fastener type consolidation in assembly.

Desired Skills:

· Competency in CAD programs, such as Solidworks and Inventor. This is more on the 2D drawing side than the 3D modeling side, but some 3D modeling changes will need to be made for revisions.

· Knowledge of Technical/Production drawings. A familiarity with production grade technical drawings will be a huge asset for this position.

· Detail Oriented. A large portion of this job will be making sure everything a machine operator would need to know is on the drawings. Dimensions cannot be missed, and thought will have to be applied to the manufacturing process. Answers to all questions shop employees could have should be on the drawings.

· Organization. We are up to several hundred part numbers and drawings, and a key emphasis will have to be put on organizing these in a way that makes sense for all involved parties. These systems will also have to be expandable as the company grows.

· Knowledge of Tolerances and Fits. The engineering team will work together to determine tolerances for machined parts. This could include press fits, as well as general clearances for bolts. Familiarity with this process would be beneficial.
