Designs, fabricates, modifies, evaluates and documents assemblies, components, and systems to produce or improve products and facilitate manufacturing operations in a CNC metal cutting environment. Collects, sorts, and analyzes data to generate protocols and reports for equipment and process validations. Develops data and makes preliminary sketches, lay-outs and notes required to present design proposals. Research basic design factors such as ease of manufacture and availability of materials and equipment. Works with other organizations impacted by design development.
