Get it right the first time with design engineering
In this episode of The Human Side of Engineering and Product Development, Andy welcomes Jed Bullwinkle, Director of Design Solutions at Saratech. Jed discusses the creativity needed to find the best possible solutions to solve a single design problem.
He then takes a deep dive into his involvement with the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program and the advancement and complexity of CAD today. Lastly, Jed digs into the skills aspiring engineers need to be successful which include a holistic understanding of materials, sciences, and how one component affects the future state as a whole.
HUMANIZING MESSAGES
JED: NX has now set the standard for CAD
"I got into NX, back in NX 4 so pretty early on, and it still had a lot of growing pains. There were a lot of things it needed to improve. And what happened was, along the way, NX grew exponentially."
"Siemens did a great job of developing it. They listened, I think, to the issues that people were having, the designers were having, and they solved them."
JED: A career in engineering requires a bigger-picture perspective
"I think just understanding that future state like you said, that DFMA, understanding holistically what that process looks like, and being able to think a little bit beyond just what's directly in front of you."
