The Starbase Infrastructure team designs and builds the civil, mechanical, and fluid systems that make Starship operations possible at Starbase. As a CAD Drafter, you will turn engineering intent into 3D models and released drawings so new construction and existing infrastructure can be designed, fabricated, and revised at the speed of the site.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Support the design and development of mechanical and fluid ground systems in support of SpaceX Starship launch engineering and operations
Work with multi-discipline project teams to develop 3D models to support launch engineering design and analyses
Follow defined SpaceX processes to prepare and release new hardware assembly drawings, and revise existing drawings as requested by launch engineering
Update existing designs and models to improve manufacturability
Modify existing CAD models and create drawing revisions as required
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
High school diploma or equivalency certificate
1+ years of experience creating architectural construction documents including plans, elevations, sections, and details
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
Associate degree in drafting or design
5+ years of CAD experience
Experience with NX
Experience with machining, welding, sheet metal, and precision measurement equipment and techniques
Experience with assembly or repair of complex mechanical components
Experience creating 3D models and 2D orthographic drawings from rough sketches or similar informal input (i.e. verbal instruction, "design a rectangular plate to mate with 01234567-005 using fixed fasteners")
Ability to understand and follow instructions from engineers
Basic knowledge of common materials (e.g. aluminum, steel, stainless, non-ferrous)
Basic knowledge of standard shapes (e.g. angle, plate, tubing, beams, etc.)
Strong time management skills; ability to adhere to a fixed schedule for delivery of models and drawings
Ability to multitask and plan and execute multiple assignments in an organized manner
