Designer III

Ensuring Chart's Success…

What Will You Do?

The primary responsibility of the Senior Designer is to champion or support product development and improvements in a 3D CAD environment for a wide variety of complex pressure equipment including vessels, piping and heat exchangers. The selected individual will chiefly be responsible for the creation/revisions of assemblies, parts, and detailed drawings for the Sustaining & New Product Development engineering teams. This role requires demonstrated mechanical design capability beyond CAD execution. The successful candidate will apply practical knowledge of component interfaces, materials, and manufacturing processes to produce functional, manufacturable, and serviceable designs.

• Working daily with product and design engineers to create and revise designs that ensure product performance, reliability, compliance and safety
• Working occasionally with manufacturing, quality, supply chain and vendors to resolve production issues and improve designs based on feedback.
• Leading design reviews by explaining design intent, identifying risks and tradeoffs, and proposing practical alternatives when requirements conflict
• Translating functional requirements, sketches, redlines, and engineering direction into complete mechanical designs
• Applying design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) principles including appropriate use of formed sheet metal, weldments, machined parts, piping/tubing, bolted joints, purchased components, and production tooling or fixtures.
• Creating and processing engineering changes (ECO / ECR), including affected-item identification and coordinated updates to models, drawings, Bills of Materials, and ERP/PDM records
• Creating and maintaining detailed component and assembly drawings in compliance with company and industry requirements like ASME Y14.5
• Creating and maintaining piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&ID) and electrical schematics
• Creating and maintaining complex Bills of Materials (BOM)
• Collaborating with key manufacturing and quality personnel regarding new and existing designs
• Helping drive departmental continuous improvement by supporting the use of repeatable design practices, templates, and lessons learned.

Your Physical Work Environment Will Require…

• Production factory support and office environment
• Occasional travel to customers, vendors, or other Chart locations is possible
• Production floor environment will involve possible exposure to materials with rough edges, temperature extremes, moving mechanical parts, occasional flying debris, chemical cleaning solvents and their odors.
• Working with cryogenic products will involve possible exposure to pressurized flammable gas, pressurized oxidizing gas, pressurized inert gas and very low temperatures (-320º F).

Your Experience Should Be...

• AS or Technical degree required, preferably in Mechanical Engineering or Science, BS degree a plus
• Minimum of 3 years experience in similar role, ideally in a manufacturing environment
• Strong skills in SolidWorks, demonstrated capability working with complex models and large assemblies
• SolidWorks EPDM experience desired
• AutoCad and/or Inventor experience desired
• Practical knowledge of mechanical assembly, fit-up, tolerancing, fasteners, weldments, sheet-metal fabrication, machining, piping, tubing, and associated manufacturing constraints
• Experience with pressure equipment, vessels, piping, valves a plus
• Experience with use of standard structural shapes in fabrications a plus
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Highly motivated self-starter and a team player
• Demonstrated ability to plan, manage multiple tasks, and execute against a timeline
• Proficient with the Microsoft Office, specifically Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Exposure to JD Edwards, or similar ERP like SAP a plus
