We are seeking a highly skilled CAD Designer / Design Engineering Specialist to join our spacecraft test engineering team. This role focuses on creating detailed designs and documentation for fluid, thermal, and electrical subsystems, as well as supporting test architecture development and measurement analysis tools. You will collaborate with engineers to ensure designs meet performance, safety, and quality standards for spacecraft ground and test systems.
Key Responsibilities CAD & Design Engineering ServicesDevelop detailed 3D models for vacuum systems, fluid subsystems, and support equipment. Create 2D drawings and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&) for fluid, thermal, and electrical subsystems. Finalize Bills of Material (BOM) and Master Equipment Lists (MEL) for subsystem designs. Design templates and stencils for P&IDs in compliance with company standards.
Fluid Systems & Test EngineeringDefine and finalize architecture for fluid subsystems (e.g., fluid heaters, valve cyclers). Create electrical/wiring diagrams and P&IDs for test systems. Prepare BOMs/MELs and write user guides/tutorials for subsystem operation. Maintain and update engineering wikis, including equipment descriptions, operational guidelines, and documentation links.
Measurement Uncertainty AnalysisDevelop tools for measurement uncertainty analysis, including user-friendly spreadsheets. Provide sensor and instrumentation selection options for DAQ systems. Perform uncertainty analysis for new measurement systems and ensure intuitive user interfaces.
Qualifications EducationBachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience), and 5-10 years of related experience. US citizenship or possession of a Green Card is required due to involvement with US government data.
Experience- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., Creo, CATIA, NX). Visio experience preferred.
- Experience with P&IDs, fluid systems, and electrical diagrams.
- Familiarity with BOM/MEL preparation and engineering documentation standards. Excel proficiency.
- Strong understanding of fluid, thermal, and electrical subsystems.
- Ability to create clear, user-friendly documentation and tools.
- Knowledge of measurement uncertainty principles and data acquisition systems.
- Experience in spacecraft or aerospace test engineering environments.
- Familiarity with vacuum systems and thermal control hardware.
