Job Description

POSITION OVERVIEW:

As a Modular Designer you will play a key role in conceptualizing, designing, and optimizing modular components and systems for manufacturing processes. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including engineers, project managers, and production staff, to ensure the seamless integration of modular solutions into our manufacturing operations. 

KEY JOB RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design and develop innovative modular components and systems for manufacturing processes, considering factors such as functionality, efficiency, scalability, and sustainability.
• Utilize CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD) to create detailed 3D models and technical drawings of modular components, ensuring accuracy and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with engineers and other stakeholders to analyze design requirements, evaluate design feasibility, and identify opportunities for optimization.
• Conduct thorough research on materials, manufacturing techniques, and industry trends to inform the design process and enhance the performance of modular solutions.
• Generate comprehensive documentation, including design specifications, bill of materials (BOM), and assembly instructions, to support the manufacturing and assembly of modular components.
• Provide technical support and expertise to production teams during the manufacturing, assembly, and installation of modular components, resolving design-related issues as needed.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and best practices in modular manufacturing, continuously seeking opportunities to innovate and improve our modular solutions.
• Interprets piping and instrument diagrams, site layouts, equipment layouts, piping plan drawings, process flow diagrams, specifications, bills of materials, and GA drawings with respect to packaged equipment system designs.
• Creates 3D models and layouts including mating surfaces, finding correct library parts, performing extrusions, creating assemblies, exploded view diagrams with BOM’s.
• Provide high quality outputs within schedule and labor budget commitments.
• Adhere to company policies, procedures, and safety regulations at all times, promoting a culture of compliance and excellence in modular design and manufacturing.

JOB SKILLS:

• Proficiency in CAD software.  Revit and AutoCAD experience is required.  Experience in Solidworks and other relevant design tools is preferred.
• Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and assembly techniques, with a focus on modular construction methods.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with the ability to translate conceptual ideas into practical, manufacturable designs.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and interact with stakeholders at all levels of the organization.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Passion for innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement in modular manufacturing practices.
• Experience with weldments, pipe routing, and designing skids and piping
• Experience in package/plant designs and layouts with broad knowledge of technical applications, maintenance, operation, and clearance constraints of structural, mechanical, controls, and electrical equipment systems
• Knowledgeable of codes typically applicable to TAS equipment including NEC, IEC, ASME, AISC, AWS, UMC, OSHA, and building codes etc.
• A self-starter and highly skilled designer capable of performing all design and modeling tasks required for delivering production level drawings to purchasing and production departments with limited direction

EDUCATION & TRAINING:

• Associate degree in a technical discipline or graphics design with proven experience (3+ years) in modular design, manufacturing, or related roles; OR
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or related field

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

• 3+ years of mechanical and structural design experience
• Hands-on experience in design and drafting using 3D modeling software to include CAD and Revit.
