What you will do

• Create and maintain parametric 3D part models, complex assemblies, 2D production drawings, BOMs, part numbers, CAD files, and revision records.
• Produce fabrication-ready documentation with dimensions, tolerances, notes, and GD&T according to standards including ASME Y14.5 and Y14.100.
• Apply knowledge of machining, sheet metal, welding, brazing, materials, and other manufacturing processes to improve manufacturability.
• Perform interference checks, dimensional reviews, and routine tolerance stack-ups; collaborate with engineers on more complex fit and tolerance issues.
• Prepare CAD and drawing packages for prototypes, suppliers, and in-house fabrication, incorporating build feedback and approved ECRs/ECOs.
• Work with mechanical engineers, physicists, machinists, technicians, manufacturing personnel, and vendors to develop designs and troubleshoot fabrication or assembly issues.

Requirements

• At least 3 years of professional, hands-on mechanical CAD design and drafting experience, ideally involving parts and assemblies for physical manufacturing.
• Ability to independently create accurate parametric 3D models, assemblies, and complete 2D fabrication drawings.
• Strong proficiency with at least one parametric mechanical CAD platform such as Onshape, SolidWorks, Creo, Inventor, Fusion 360, or NX.
• Working knowledge of mechanical drafting conventions, GD&T, dimensional tolerancing, and drawing interpretation.
• Practical familiarity with manufacturing methods, materials, and the information fabricators require from drawings.
• Experience organizing assembly documentation, BOMs, drawing revisions, and released CAD data.
• Careful attention to drawing accuracy, file organization, and detail while managing multiple deliverables.
• Clear communication with engineers, machinists, technicians, and outside fabrication partners.

Nice to have

• Hands-on Onshape experience with Part Studios, assemblies, drawings, and release/version workflows; equivalent expertise in another parametric CAD system is welcome.
• Experience with precision mechanical components, thermal hardware, vacuum equipment, or cryogenic-system drawings.
• Experience creating manufacturing drawings for machined parts, sheet metal, weldments, or brazed assemblies.
• Experience with CAD/PDM or PLM release procedures and engineering change documentation.
• Formal education in mechanical design, drafting, or mechanical engineering technology, or relevant CAD certifications; equivalent practical experience is acceptable.

Culture & Benefits

• Company equity options.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid time off and holidays.
• Professional development, training, and certification support.
• Inclusive workplace committed to building a diverse and authentic workforce.
