What are the responsibilities and job description for the Dimensional Engineer position at Archer?
What you’ll do:
- As a dimensional engineer, you will leverage your extensive knowledge and experience to define, develop and execute the dimensional management for complete vehicle design architecture and assembly.
- You will create dimensional Tolerance stack models in 3DCS and work closely with Design, Manufacturing and Quality Engineering to validate those models to ensure that they are consistent with Archer’s process capabilities.
- Work on the development of gaging and indexing strategies, interact with the manufacturing and integration team to drive the strategies for better product dimensional quality.
- You will work closely with design engineers to review and propose GD&T implementation, making recommendations for improvements in measurability and manufacturability.
- You will analyze, troubleshoot and develop control plan to meet vehicle dimensional metrics and contain variation
- You will drive dimensional build activities during tooling try outs at launch to achieve stable, repeatable and in-dimensional-specification hardware.
- Perform Virtual builds from the 3D scans.
- Develop/Support in making Dimensional management Archer standards
- Demonstrated experience in dimensional engineering within a product development environment (3 years) Proven expertise in achieving excellence through Design for Manufacturing, Design for Assembly, and Design for Dimensional Control principles
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering (or related)
