Surfacing Designer

You want to work within a small tight-knit team of Surfacing Designers using PTC Creo so you can learn as much as possible about tangent/curvature/acceleration continuity, what makes NURBS be NURBS, challenge yourself to build complex forms cleanly and beautifully yet also manage the innumerable changes that will be asked for, and have the opportunity to develop production ready geometry that captures the desires of Industrial Designers, Mechanical Engineers and Manufacturing Engineers and will live in millions of homes.You have a sense of manufacturing requirements, but also a good sense of design/aesthetics/flow in art, or photography, or automobiles, or boats, airplanes, etc. You love to build stuff, be it tinkering projects, or house renovations, carving spoons, or bicycles, or musical instruments, or cars, etc. You can "see" shapes in your head: imagine them, spin them, and express those shapes in CAD or words or clay, etc. You are the paintbrush of the artist, the chisel of the sculptor - intuiting and expressing what they want. You can of managing your time, energy, and kindness within ever-changing and often challenging work schedules.
