Full Job Description
**Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or U.S. Permanent Residents (Green Card holders) to meet customer and regulatory requirements**
What you'll do:
We are seeking a versatile, CAD and drawing master able to create outstanding drawings to produce key parts for manufacturing and certification. You will be a key step in the processes for building
CAD Architecture: Keep the CAD structure clean with assemblies that make logical sense and configurations that allow for part variations
Drawing generator: Create the detailed 2D drawings for complex mechanisms components and assemblies including precision gears, bearings, lead screws, braking systems, and encoders, avionics boxes.
Fitment and Clearence: Create reasonable part tolerance and perform stack-up analysis. Use fit classes to establish good part alignment. Read manufactures data sheets to size appropriate housings.
Fabricable Design: Deploy your knowledge of fabrication techniques (tool sizes, machine features) to minimize time with vendors and reduce overall cost.
What you need:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Experience: 5+ years of experience as a drafter in aerospace or automotive fields.
CAD Mastery: Advanced design experience in SolidWorks including complex assemblies and configuration management on a PDM system.
ASME Y14 and GD&T master: Know ASME Y14 like the back of your hand and deploy that knowledge on the drawings.
Team mindset: Help the team achieve their goals by owning the drawing process and finding ways circumvent the roadblocks.
Nice to have:
Flight Program: Have created drawings used for a flight certification program (FAA or MIL)
Gearbox Specialization: Detailed knowledge of how to create drawings for gears, screws, precision parts
What we have to offer:
We are not just building components. We are reshaping the future of the Aerospace and Defense component industry, which is a $300B+ market! Come join us and help build next generation systems that will make a massive impact at global scale.
We offer competitive compensation + equity
Exceptional healthcare benefits, Medical is 100% covered by the company
