Years of experience: Minimum 8 years experience in metal fabrication and mechanical design, including two years with Inventor or Solidworks 3D modeling software (Relevant experience with other modeling software may be considered equivalent).
Technical Skills
- Proficient in 3D CAD design and drafting, specifically with SolidWorks, including the creation of detailed drawings and flat patterns for rail vehicle components.
- Strong understanding of materials (metals, plastics, composites) and mechanical assembly methods (bolted, welded, sheet metal).
- Capable of layout optimization and integration of components according to standards and project requirements.
- Skilled in preparing material lists, technical documentation, and installation instructions.
- Experience in dimensional verification on-site or in the workshop.
Personal And Soft Skills
