In this role, you will participate in the design of complex electrohydraulic, electromechanical, mechanical, electronic and electro-pneumatic components and systems. You will be responsible for converting layouts into working detail drawings independently or with the help and direction of Engineers or Senior Designers. You will be part of a product development team consisting of Design, Manufacturing, Product, and Quality Engineering. This position is based in Torrance, CA
As a Design Drafter, you will…
• Translate requirements emanating from a variety of sources into computer models, layouts, detailed engineering drawings, and whenever possible use existing manufactured or purchased parts (Military, Industry Standard or commercial) as defined and retrieved from data sources.
• Often direct the efforts of other drafting personnel in the completion of their tasks. This effort includes direction and input based on familiarity with the Moog Systems and Procedures, ECN Release System, and configuration control requirements.
• Contribute to a cost-effective design and functional products by working closely with Design, Manufacturing and Product Engineering.
• Check detail drawings for completeness and accuracy, ensure the parts list/Bill of Materials (BOM) is accurate and agrees with all other documentation such as Assembly and Hydraulic/Electrical Schematic drawings.
• Ensure basic integrity of designs and layouts using correctness of proportionality, sizing, dimensional accuracy, correctness of tolerance limits, and conformance to geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) practices. Review surface finishes for impact on fits, design requirements, and effects on cost.
• Assist in the selection of acceptable materials to conform to design requirements; and be familiar with the raw material drawing system, their use and linkage to the manufactured part. Assist in the selection of acceptable processing procedures.
• Act as focal point for your projects as they progress from concept to release. This activity is performed by coordinating the efforts of drafting personnel, insuring continuity and consistency, maintaining information critical to progress reports, preparing estimates, attending project-oriented meetings and insuring completion of associated tasks on dates required.
