Every ASTG system exists as a model before it exists as hardware. Designers build that model: 3D assemblies and full manufacturing drawing packages worked up from P&IDs and schematics, accurate enough that the floor can build from them without coming back to ask.
We don't have a design vacancy open at this moment. We recruit for this role regularly across Designer I, II and Senior, so if this is your field we'd rather hear from you now than miss you later.
