TL;DR · Spacecraft Design CAD Mechanical Engineer, Configuration Management

Spacecraft Design CAD, Mech Engineer, Configuration Management is a mechanical design role focused on the development of satellite systems for a low Earth orbit network. You will be embedded within a multidisciplinary engineering team to translate technical intent into production-ready CAD models, drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOM) that flow through product lifecycle management infrastructure. Your daily responsibilities include managing complex assembly databases, ensuring GD&T compliance, coordinating with suppliers for procurement-ready data packages, and maintaining configuration control within the PLM ecosystem. The role requires proficiency in Siemens NX and Teamcenter to manage large datasets with intricate constraints. You will collaborate across mechanical, thermal, electrical, and structural disciplines to solve problems related to manufacturing optimization, material selection for harsh environments, and design integrity for spacecraft-class hardware components throughout the entire lifecycle from concept to production release.

What you'll do

  • Create and manage complex 3D CAD designs for large spacecraft systems within Siemens NX.
  • Produce engineering drawings that comply with specific standards and GD&T best practices.
  • Manage the Bill of Materials (BOM) lifecycle through the Teamcenter PLM system.
  • Translate engineering intent into production-ready models, drawings, and data packages.
  • Coordinate with suppliers to define sourced components and develop procurement-ready technical data.
  • Review manufacturing sources and optimize designs for producibility and cost.
  • Maintain configuration control, revision history, and data integrity within the PLM ecosystem.
  • Organize CAD databases and manage naming conventions to ensure team-wide efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or 1+ years of experience in mechanical or electrical engineering.
  • 3+ years of CAD experience with complex mechanical/electro-mechanical assemblies, machines, structures, or systems.
  • 1+ years of experience creating and optimizing mechanical designs with complex interactions and constraints.
  • 1+ years of experience collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines to understand and integrate diverse requirements.
  • Expert-level capability with Siemens NX for advanced CAD assemblies (4+ years preferred).
  • Experience managing CAD databases, Bill of Materials (BOM), and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) using Teamcenter.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes, material properties for harsh environments, and GD&T best practices.
