CAD Designer

Top 3-5 Must Have Skills:

• Experience with CAD tools (AutoCAD and PTC Creo are a minimum)

• Hands-on experience with PLM/EDM systems for drawing/model revision control and release workflows

• Experience with MBD, DFM, DFA, and other manufacturing practices such as DFMEA and PFMEA

• Visio pro, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft office suite tool experience

Job Summary

• We are seeking a CAD Designer/drafter to support our engineering team in developing and releasing detailed 2D/3D CAD models and engineering drawings.

• Experience with CAD tools (AutoCAD and PTC Creo are a minimum) is required.

• Familiarity with product lifecycle management (PLM) tools such as Siemens Teamcenter is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and maintain drawings in AutoCAD and PTC Creo.

• Model parts and assemblies in PTC Creo and generate associated drawing deliverables for customers.

• Interpret and apply engineering design intent, functional requirements, manufacturing/assembly requirements, and inspection requirements to the drawing deliverables.

• Apply engineering drawing practices in accordance with ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41 to ensure clarity and manufacturability with the drawing packages.

• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality and supply chain teams to clarify ambiguities, implement design changes (ECOs/ECNs), update drawings and CAD models accordingly.

• Use PLM system (Teamcenter) to manage drawing/model revisions, release workflows, revision history, drawing numbering, part/assembly and ensure configuration control.

• Conduct self-checking and peer reviews of drawings/models for completeness, accuracy and standards compliance

• Support change control: update drawings and CAD models in response to engineering changes

• Assist with supplier documentation when required: generate drawing packages suitable for supplier manufacturing/inspection, ensure deliverables meet downstream needs.

• Provide timely status reporting, escalate issues or discrepancies (e.g., manufacturability, tolerance stacks, drawing clarity) and support drawing release schedules.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Previous aerospace industry experience (aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers) including experience with complex assemblies or mechanical assemblies.

• Experience with large CAD assemblies, sheet metal design, composite materials, machined parts, or high-tolerance aerospace components.

• Familiarity with other CAD/PLM tools beyond AutoCAD/Creo/Teamcenter (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, Windchill) and associated workflows.

• Exposure to design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and working knowledge of manufacturing/inspection downstream drivers
