Job Description
The primary responsibilities of this position are to create and modify technical drawings of complex components, parts, assemblies and sub-assemblies. Individual errors will directly affect, to a moderate degree, the overall pace of novel product development, production, quality of product, and overhead costs for programs/products. More specifically, this position will support the development of softgoods products, such as Thermal Protection Systems (TPS), and mechanical/electromechanical products, such as mounting fixtures. TPS is used for rockets, in-space cargo vehicles, and human rated flight vehicles, to protect launch vehicle components and structures from the high heat resulting from launch and return. This position is in direct support of NASA, DoD, and Commercial aerospace customers and includes the development of ground prototypes, test fixtures, and operationally certified products for ground use, earth orbit, cis-lunar orbit, and lunar surface.
Responsibilities
• Provide detailed design and drawings of softgoods, mechanical, and electromechanical systems, subsystems, and components. • Support the development of interface drawings that define detailed features for mechanical and thermal system interfaces for the hardware and TPS being developed. • Support the design of unique tests fixtures and their drawing creation. • Work in a team environment that includes multi-functional groups such as Mechanical Engineers, Softgoods Designers, Electrical Engineers, Stress Analysts, Production, and Product Assurance. • Abides by the procedures and guidelines established in accordance with OSS drafting standards, ASME Y14.5M and NASA document JPR 8500. • Complete assignments that may be complex in nature, take appropriate action, and exercises a high degree of initiative in resolving problems and developing recommendations. • Create engineering design layouts and assemblies using computer-aided design (CAD) programs, primally CREO, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD. Generate corresponding part, patterns, assembly, and interface control drawings. • Use geometric dimensioning and tolerancing when required or pragmatically needed. • Check completed drawings for clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications, and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning. • Identify hardware, materials, and components by using Company procurement documentation system and engineering assistance. • Interfaces with machine shop and softgoods personnel on part clearances, tolerances, and manufacturing/machine options, as well as inspection techniques. • Other duties as assigned.
Qualifications
Required • Associate Degree in Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) or equivalent. • 7+ years of 3D mechanical design and drafting experience. • Ability to perform CAD modeling and generate manufacturing drawings using SolidWorks and Pro-E CREO. • Ability to use AutoCAD for softgoods patterning. • Experience with ASME Y14.5 drawing standards or NASA Engineering Drawing System Manual JSC JPR 8500. • Part tolerance analysis utilizing Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). • Knowledge of aerospace materials selection criteria, machine shop practices, and documentation. • US Citizenship (Any Dual Citizenship requires notification).
Desired • Experience with thermal protection systems (TPS) including fabrication documents, methods, and techniques. • Advanced Pro-E CREO skills including Pro/Design, Pro/Assembly, Pro/Detail, and Pro/Surface. • Familiar with NASA JSC Fabrication Tolerances and Practices (SKZ36103755). • Knowledge of NASA document JPR 8500, And familiar with JSC EDCC/EDRS (Engineering document control center), including but not limited to JSC JEDI – EDPM document control software. • Experience working in aerospace industry, DoD, or NASA, assembly, test fixtures, and integration. • Experience with electrical/electronics manufacturing. • Experience with multi-page electro-mechanical assembly drawings. • Experience training and mentoring more junior designers/drafters. • Excellent oral and written communication skills.
