Manufacturing / DFM Engineer - Steel and Aluminum Modular Frames

Manufacturing / DFM Engineer - Steel and Aluminum Modular Frames PROJECT DESCRIPTION We need an engineer experienced in cost-effective fabrication of repeatable steel/aluminum assemblies for the STEEL ONE modular building system. SCOPE OF WORK • Review structural and CAD concepts for manufacturing feasibility and tolerances. • Evaluate extrusion, roll-forming, laser cutting, bending, machining, welding and bolted assembly. • Recommend repeatable process flows, assembly fixtures and inspection methods. • Identify weld distortion, corrosion compatibility, tolerance stack-up and field-installation risks. • Develop rough-order-of-magnitude prototype and production cost models with assumptions. EXPECTED DELIVERABLES • Manufacturing feasibility / DFM report and design-change recommendations. • Prototype process routing, tooling / fixture concept and quality checklist. • Preliminary costed BOM and supplier capability specifications. • Prototype quotation request (RFQ) package outline. REQUIRED EXPERIENCE • Proven industrial metal fabrication / DFM background. • Experience with fabricated structural steel or aluminum assemblies. • Knowledge of process capability, metal joining and inspection. • Portfolio demonstrating transition from CAD to physical production.
