As a Mechanical CAD Drafter at True Anomaly, you will play a vital role in bringing spacecraft hardware to life through precise, production‑ready drawings and documentation. From flight components to ground support equipment, you will translate complex engineering concepts into clear, manufacturable designs that support every phase of spacecraft development. This is an opportunity to build deep technical expertise at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and space systems—working alongside engineers and technicians to ensure our hardware meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

• Develop accurate piece part and assembly drawings for flight hardware, GSE, and structural components, ensuring compliance with engineering requirements and GD&T standards.
• Translate verbal direction, sketches, and engineering inputs into detailed technical drawings using NX (Siemens), editing CAD models as needed to support drawing accuracy and completeness.
• Maintain and update existing drawings and models in response to engineering change orders, design reviews, and manufacturing feedback.
• Support the production of spacecraft assembly storyboards and work instructions to guide manufacturing and integration teams through build sequences.
• Produce and manage drawing packages for moderately complex flight hardware and GSE assemblies, scaling in complexity and ownership with experience.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, electrical, and structural engineers to incorporate design updates and resolve drawing‑related discrepancies.
• Assist in the creation of technical documentation for design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR), including drawing packages and interface details.
• Work within configuration management systems to ensure drawing revisions are properly tracked and released.
• Support the fabrication and assembly process by providing technical drawing guidance to production and integration teams.
• At senior levels, own complex multi‑level drawing packages across concurrent programs, serve as the primary technical resource for drawing standards and GD&T application, and drive continuous improvement in drafting processes and documentation practices.

• Associate's degree in drafting, engineering technology, or a related discipline, or 2+ years of professional experience in mechanical drafting or aerospace engineering support.
• Working knowledge of mechanical GD&T principles and their application to manufactured parts and assemblies.
• Proficiency in NX (Siemens) for drawing creation;
  Solid Works experience is acceptable.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and how drawing specifications translate to fabricated hardware.
• Ability to read and interpret complex engineering diagrams, schematics, and assembly instructions.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple drawing tasks in a fast‑paced environment.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a multidisciplinary team.
• Passion for the space industry and a desire to contribute to mission‑critical hardware.

• Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or similarly regulated industries where drawing quality and configuration control are critical.
• Familiarity with spacecraft or satellite hardware, including flight…
