What is your level of proficiency with Creo (Pro/ENGINEER)? Please describe the complexity of models, assemblies, and drawings you have created and the size of assemblies you have managed.
Describe your experience applying GD&T and ASME Y14.5 standards in your drawings. How do you ensure your drawings meet manufacturing and inspection requirements? Have you used Windchill or similar configuration management software?
Have you worked within a configuration management / engineering change (CN) release process? Walk us through how you take a design from model creation through formal release. Have you used Windchill or similar configuration management software.
Have you developed designs or documentation for any of the following: umbilical systems, ground support equipment, test fixtures, launch pad structures, or lifting/handling tooling? Please describe.
Position Summary: The CAD Drafter/Designer will develop, modify, and release engineering models, assemblies, and drawings for umbilical systems, ground testing equipment, launch pad structures, and transportation/handling tooling. This role requires proficiency in Creo and adherence to *** modeling conventions and configuration management (CN) requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
Umbilical Systems
Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for umbilical assemblies, retraction/release mechanisms, and routing hardware.
Define and document umbilical interfaces with vehicle, payload, and ground support equipment, including connector pinouts and fluid line schematics.
MSFC Creo Support
Develop, modify, and maintain Creo models, assemblies, and drawings in compliance with *** modeling conventions and configuration management requirements.
Perform model checks, design reviews, and CN release activities to ensure conformance with applicable *** engineering standards.
Ground Testing Equipment
Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for test fixtures, stands, and supporting instrumentation hardware.
Define test equipment interfaces with units under test, including mechanical, fluid, and electrical connections.
Umbilical Mate Simulator
Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for launch pad structures, mechanical systems, and integrated infrastructure.
Define and document interfaces between launch pad systems, vehicle, and supporting ground equipment.
Transportation & Handling Tooling
Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and associated tooling.
Define tooling interfaces and operational requirements, including rigging points, load paths, and handling procedures.
General Responsibilities:
Generate detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards.
Maintain product data and configuration management through CN-controlled release processes.
Collaborate with stress analysts and design engineers to incorporate analysis-driven design chang
Skills:
Required Qualifications:
Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Proficiency in Creo (Pro/ENGINEER) for modeling, assemblies, and drawing creation.
Strong working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards.
Experience with configuration management and engineering change/release processes.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience working with NASA MSFC modeling conventions and standards.
Familiarity with fluid line schematics, electrical connector pinouts, and interface documentation.
Experience designing ground support equipment, tooling, or launch pad structures.
Experience with data exchange and model translation between organizations.
