- Proven ability to translate technical sketches into functional, accurate designs.
- Comprehensive knowledge of wall thickness requirements, stress evaluation, and the optimization of seal and joint assemblies.
- Proficiency in creating high-quality graded or glass-to-metal seals and implementing proper annealing procedures.
- Excellent verbal and written communication abilities for consulting with stakeholders.
Responsibilities
- Examine client drafts to determine production feasibility, specifically regarding structural strength, wall thickness, and stress concentrations.
- Provide technical instructions for bench and lathe work related to the creation of bespoke apparatuses.
- Offer expert advice on material compatibility, complex seal construction, and appropriate annealing cycles to minimize internal stress.
- Review designs for potential fabrication obstacles, communicate risks clearly, and suggest viable alternatives.
- Generate precise project cost estimates reflecting material needs and the intricacy of the design.
Benefits & Perks
- This is a contract role that offers the benefit of a remote working environment.
