Summary

We are developing a patent-pending heavy-duty rotary tool for underground pipeline rehabilitation. The 3D design is complete in Onshape, part numbers are assigned, and my ANSI B title-block template is set up. I need an experienced mechanical engineer/drafter to produce the manufacturing drawing package. Scope: ~15 machined steel parts (splined shaft, large disks, small precision holder blocks) Drawings per ASME Y14.5-2018, third angle, inch, in my Onshape workspace. Drawings will include: GD&T (datums, position, and concentricity/runout of ODs to an internal bore — functionally critical); thread and tap-drill callouts (UN threads plus one API rotary connection); hole patterns, drilled porting, pockets, counterbores, finishes; material/heat-treat/coating notes; assembly fastener torque and thread-locker callouts. You should have: strong onshape drawing experience (required) the work happens in my onshape workspace, real-world machine design or job-shop drafting background (these drawings go straight to fabricators for quoting); solid ASME Y14.5 GD&T skills. Bonus: hardened steels, splines, or drilling/downhole hardware. Full models and part details are shared after a signed NDA. First task will be one representative part drawing so we align on style before the rest of the package. To apply, briefly describe a comparable drawing package you've produced and attach a sample drawing (redacted is fine).
