Summary: Ride Controls designers prepare and maintain drawings for the Ride Control Systems Engineering group. They must be skilled in CAD and also have knowledge and experience with all types of electrical components and manufacturing processes. They also help to develop and maintain the CAD and drafting standards. They must work closely with engineers in resolving detailed design issues. For work in the Ride group, they must have a breadth of knowledge and be a generalist who works well on any type of mechanical and/or electrical devices to accommodate the wide variety of tasks they may encounter.

-Interpret electrical control system design requirements and build original layouts, iterative assembly and detail drawings, schematics, artwork, isometrics, and illustrations.
-Review, analyze, and integrate the technical requirements, technical accuracy, and design approach in conjunction with team engineers.

-Craft electro-mechanical packaging of industrial control panels and enclosures based on high-level concepts from engineers.

-Select components from preferred manufacturers and prepare design detail drawings and schematics for industrial control panels using AutoCAD.

-Ensure compliance with UL508a and National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements, and dimension and tolerance practices per ANSI Y14.5.
-Present and review designs with controls and mechanical engineers and attend meetings as needed.
-Model equipment locations in a ride facility design using Revit.
-Deliver production assembly drawings, detail drawings, bills of material, wiring diagrams, cable schedules, and equipment lists.
-Prepare and release fully developed drawings into internal data management systems.
-Participate in reviewing engineering drawings supplied by vendors, clients, and other subject areas, for consistency to drafting standards.
-Design multi-layer PCB assemblies based on engineering schematics.
