A Day in the Life

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform 1D tolerance analysis for linear assembly chains using Excel or in-house tools.

• Conduct 3D variation analysis using Creo with CETol 3D, interpreting the Design driven results.

• Model and simulate assembly variation impact across critical interfaces.

• Establish clear tolerance objectives based on form-fit-function, reliability, and manufacturability.

• Work with Design and quality to define functional and critical-to-assembly (CTA) dimensions.

• Prepare and manage parametric, constraint-driven Creo assemblies for CETol studies.

• Work closely with BU Stake holders to ensure robust model hierarchy suitable for CETOL linkage.

• Read, interpret, and recommend GD&T (per ASME Y14.5) for tolerance inputs. • Align CETol model constraints and feature control frames with engineering drawings and MBD data.

• Recommend changes to part features, datum structure, or materials based on stack-up results.

• Propose tolerance relaxation/spec. modifications to achieve quality, cost, and performance balance.

• Create CETol reports with full results interpretation, risk level, and actionable design guidance.

• Establish CETol modeling standards, libraries, and templates for scalable reuse.

• Train and mentor other engineers in tolerance analysis fundamentals and CETol techniques.

• Develop detailed 3D models utilizing Creo Model-Based Definition Required

Technical Skills:

• CETol 3D – proficiency in modeling, analysis, and results interpretation

• Creo Parametric – robust modeling for tolerance simulation and MBD

• PTC Creo Mechanism for simulating motion, analyzing kinematic behavior, and validating mechanical assemblies through dynamic simulations.

• Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) with hands-on experience applying it to engineering drawings and providing design improvement recommendations.

• Dimensional engineering and statistical tolerance methods (RSS, Worst Case) • Stack-up modeling for mechanical and kinematic assemblies

• Good understanding of manufacturing processes/ Design (plastics, machining, stamping, casting, etc.)

• Expertise in DFM and DFA principles for design optimization • Change management process using PDM/PLM Software (Agile, Windchill, etc.,) Good to Have skills:

• Six Sigma methodologies (DFSS/DMAIC) for analyzing data, identifying root causes, and implementing process improvement.

• Reverse engineering components to recreate CAD models and extract design intent using inspection techniques (3D scanning, measurement tools, etc.,)

• Manufacturing process knowledge like injection molding, Machining, Sheet metal, etc.,

• Involvement in DFMEA/PFMEA and design reviews to assess and mitigate design risks.

• Familiar with project management methodologies and workflows, including planning, tracking and cross-functional collaboration • Experience in Lean Manufacturing principles aimed at eliminating Scrap, improving process flow, and enhancing overall operational efficiency.
