Primary Function of Position:
The Mechanical drafter/designer will assist product engineering, manufacturing engineering, and other engineering teams at Intuitive Surgical by providing CAD drafting and design support to create/revise drawings for new/legacy custom parts, designing and/or modifying new/legacy custom components in CAD, and by reviewing dimensions and tolerances on drawings to ensure their suitability for the intended production process. The successful candidate will have the technical depth and proven experience to create and review drawings to ASME Y14.5 standards. Candidate must have experience with Windchill for CAD data management. Candidate will demonstrate knowledge of GD&T and the use of CAD tools to create/refine designs and drawings for assemblies and custom parts made of sheet metal, weldments, various plastics, electrical cables/components, and machined parts. The candidate will be a team player, collaborate with engineering teams, and have a strong sense of responsibility and commitment towards producing accurate drawings. This role will require onsite presence to fit check work and iterate designs.
This role also requires experience with preparing and submitting change orders and familiarity with rules for revising parts (i.e form fit and function).
Roles & Responsibilities:
- Work with various teams to identify drafting/design support needs and schedule workload based on priorities set by management
- Identify scope of design/drafting support needs requested by engineering teams
- Estimate time required to complete support activities
- Provide CAD design/drafting support as needed
- Communicate with vendors to determine process capabilities to verify manufacturability of part to tight dimensions/tolerances
- Support Product Engineering with creation and submission of ECOs
- Communicate with engineering teams to review drawing changes to suit manufacturing process capabilities
- Communicate designs and design changes with vendors and assist with DFM updates
- Work from rough sketches and specifications created by engineers to design static aids and dynamic fixtures used in testing and manufacturing of product
- Assist in creating engineering BOMs on drawings and in MRP systems
- Assist in lifecycle changes and production release of drawings via ECOs
- Provide mechanical engineering support for resolution of field and manufacturing issues via drawing changes
- Establish individual goals consistent with team goals and project schedules
Skills, Experience, Education, & Training:
Experience
- Associates degree in Mechanical and/or Industrial engineering required
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in creating drawings for mechanical parts, electro-mechanical assemblies, tooling components, and electrical cable assemblies

- Able to review and check drawings for accuracy, spelling, format, tolerances..etc.
- Understanding of dimensional tolerance capabilities of process such as injection molding, castings, machine parts and sheet metal components.
- Able to apply design intent so that drafting dimensions are based on the “show dimensions” method instead of recreating independent dimensions
- Ability to create and maintain large assemblies with large assembly management techniques
- Proven experience in a fast paced, high transaction environment
- Proven ability to work well in a team environment
- Knowledge of component finishing processes (such as anodizing, electro-polishing, plating, heat treatment, paint/powder coating)
Tools
- Proficiency using CAD to design and document in SolidWorks
