Design Engineer

The Design Engineer is responsible for creating precise 2D and 3D models and drawings for trade show exhibit displays that meet defined scope of work, budget constraints, and structural requirements. This role works closely with a small team of designers and spends the majority of the day in CAD software, transforming concepts into detailed shop and fabrication drawings while occasionally reviewing fabricated parts and assemblies in the shop., * Create accurate 2D and 3D CAD models for trade show booths and exhibit displays that align with project scope, budget, and structural requirements.

• Develop initial designs and models in 3D, primarily using AutoCAD 3D, to capture complex geometries and shapes.
• Use Inventor to design and refine complex geometries and shapes, ensuring structural integrity and manufacturability.
• Produce final shop and fabrication drawings in 2D AutoCAD for use by fabrication and assembly teams.
• Collaborate with two other designers to ensure consistency, quality, and adherence to established design standards and processes.
• Work with metals, sheet metal, and aluminum materials in the design of trade show exhibit structures and components.
• Review fabricated parts and assemblies in the shop on an occasional basis to verify dimensional accuracy and alignment with design intent.
• Adapt quickly to established design processes, standards, and workflows, incorporating feedback from stakeholders as needed.
• Maintain organized design files and documentation to support efficient fabrication, assembly, and future modifications.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design practices and CAD modeling methods to enhance efficiency and quality.
