Lead Product Designer role at American Rheinmetall Vehicles. Location: Sterling Heights, MI. The role focuses on leading design efforts for military combat vehicle subsystems, with responsibility for design, development, and integration, and cross-functional collaboration in a dynamic environment. Responsibilities
Manage designs using CAD software per project requirements/specifications. Create 3D components (parts and assemblies), including Model Based Definition (MBD) elements and metadata. Create 2D drawings (single components, sub-system installations and top-level exploded drawings). Understand and manage multiple sub-system designs. Create and manage core standards and procedures related to the creation, release, and revision of CAD models and drawings. Provide CAD process support and training across the design team to improve internal standards, customer standards, and specifications to meet program requirements. Participate in process improvement for design responsibilities (CAD fundamentals, data management, design/engineering, etc.). Conduct packaging, feasibility, and kinematic studies. Maintain CAD data management knowledge including Part Numbering, Revision History, Engineering Change Requests, and Configuration Management. Reverse engineering and design capabilities including dimensional stack-ups defining fit and function. Troubleshoot design issues related to manufacturing, quality, and sub-system requirements. Apply ASME MBD standards (Y14.4X-XX), ASME Engineering Drawing Practices (Y14.100), and relevant ISO dimensioning and tolerancing principles (Y14.5-XXX). Support and adhere to safety and environmental regulations and policies. Lead design reviews and customer meetings; report, track, and resolve open issues within a sub-system design team. Provide technical support to internal and external customers; prepare/present project design status for multiple sub-systems. Create, manage, and communicate BOM structure/requirements with project team members. Manage multiple tasks across projects with proper prioritization; ensure on-time delivery of sub-system design releases. Support concurrent engineering, procurement, and prototype build/integration activities with technical assistance. Utilize Microsoft Office suite effectively. Qualifications
Minimum Qualifications
Knowledge of systems-based design and related standards/processes. Ability to present technical solutions to clients and internal stakeholders. Familiarity with US DoD ground vehicle requirements and DoD vehicle development processes. Familiarity with US Army TACOM/TARDEC organizations.
