Mechanical Designer​/drafter

This entry-level Mechanical Drafter (Drafter
2) role supports sustainment engineering by updating engineering drawings, managing documentation, and performing administrative drafting tasks for aerospace programs.

• Revise and update mechanical and engineering drawings in support of sustainment engineering efforts.
• Create, modify, and maintain 2D and 3D CAD models for mechanical components and assemblies.
• Support documentation and change management activities, including maintaining accurate records and complete drawing packages.
• Assist with sustainment engineering paperwork, documentation releases, and administrative drafting tasks.
• Execute drawing updates to correct errors, incorporate change notices, and support ongoing sustainment of aerospace platforms.
• Collaborate with engineering teams working on engines, propulsion systems, ground support, avionics, and configuration-related mechanical engineering projects.
• Ensure all drawings and documentation comply with established engineering drawing techniques and drafting standards.
• Communicate effectively with engineers and other stakeholders to clarify requirements and implement requested changes.

• High school diploma with at least 1 year of drafting or related work experience, or an AS degree with no prior work experience.
• Working knowledge of engineering drawing techniques and drafting standards.
• Experience using 2D and 3D CAD software, with Creo preferred; NX, Solid Works, AutoCAD, or CATIA are also acceptable.
• Ability to create and revise engineering drawings and CAD models for mechanical design and drafting.
• Basic understanding of trigonometry and algebra to support accurate measurements and calculations in drafting work.
• Strong attention to detail to ensure accuracy in drawings, documentation, and change records.
• Good organizational skills to manage multiple drawing packages, documentation updates, and sustainment tasks.
• Effective communication skills to coordinate with engineers and team members on drawing updates and documentation changes.

• Experience with mechanical design, mechanical drafting, and 3D modeling in a CAD environment.
• Familiarity with Creo, Solid Works, NX, AutoCAD, or CATIA for CAD modeling and engineering drawing creation.
• Interest in working on aerospace platforms, engines, propulsion systems, ground support equipment, avionics, and configuration-related projects.
• Motivation to grow within a structured engineering organization and develop long-term CAD and documentation expertise.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multidisciplinary engineering team environment.
• Desire to support mission‑critical defense programs and high‑impact aerospace projects.

The role operates within a collaborative engineering environment that supports advanced unmanned aircraft systems and next‑generation aerospace technology. You will work closely with an engineering team focused on engines, propulsion systems, ground support, avionics, and configuration‑related mechanical engineering under a structured sustainment organization. The position involves extensive work with CAD software such as Creo, Solid Works, NX, AutoCAD, or CATIA, as well as regular interaction with engineering documentation, drawing packages, and change management tools.

The work environment offers hybrid work flexibility after onboarding, allowing a mix of on‑site and remote work, and follows a 9/80 work schedule that provides every other Friday off. The culture emphasizes long‑term innovation, in‑house collaboration across R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and technical support, and high‑impact work on mission‑critical…
