All work shall be in conformance with the Engineering Drawing Standard, ASME Y14.5, ASTM F24 Committee guidelines, and other applicable codes. Responsible for initiating sketches and notes that will evolve into detail and assembly type drawings with minimal supervision from the Design Supervisor, Lead Designer, or Engineers. Projects will include initial design and re-design of mechanical, structural, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems. This includes acting as a liaison with partners and external fabrication/installation vendors. Reviews and provides approval as the Design Checker on ECN documents after qualification by the Design Supervisor.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Completes moderate to complex design projects for mechanical and structural systems at the Rides and Attractions to enhance guest comfort, reliability, quality, and safety (projects involve multiple design tasks). Ensures all designs comply with industry standards for fabrication and machining practices, including GPS, ASME, ASTM, ANSI, AWS, and OSHA, among others. Assists Engineers with observations, field measurements, troubleshooting, problem-solving, design, and testing. Serves as a vendor interface, resolving production problems with vendors. Plans and lays out project tasks for increased productivity and effectiveness, including closing out tasks with little or no supervision. Provides design review support to other Designers for accuracy, tolerance stack-up, form and fit, ease of manufacture, and cost-effectiveness. Assists QC and/or field technicians with information and drawing clarification as necessary. Acts as a liaison with partners for the fabrication and installation of projects. Reviews drawings for accuracy, conformity, fit, tolerance, and adherence to applicable standards of geometric tolerance, weld symbols, fit and clearance conventions, proper fastener specifications and usage, finish, radii, etc. Checks the work of other Designers and provides constructive feedback.
