About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Assess engineering requirements and translate them into technical blueprints, drawings, layouts, and simulation models using CAD/CAM/CAE software.
Develop and revise 2D drawings, 3D parametric models, assemblies, and associated documentation from approved engineering inputs.
Create complete, unambiguous drawings defining geometry, interfaces, materials, finishes, processes, tolerances, inspection requirements, quantities, and assembly relationships.
Select and apply GD&T features and tolerances in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2009.
Evaluate tolerance accumulation and fit at part and assembly interfaces.
Apply sound parametric modeling practices and maintain stable design intent and clean assembly structures.
Check drawings and models for fit, form, function, completeness, consistency, manufacturability, inspectability, and standards compliance.
Verify parts lists, item balloons, quantities, references, notes, weld symbols, revisions, and change markings across drawing packages.
Maintain drawing, model, and reference-file integrity through document control, revision control, configuration management, and records processes.
Resolve technical comments from engineers, checkers, fabricators, inspectors, and document change reviews.
Coordinate with engineers and other disciplines to clarify requirements, document assumptions, identify missing inputs, and recommend drawing or modeling solutions.
Plan assigned work, provide progress updates, and raise scope, resource, or schedule concerns.
Support backlog reduction and mentor drafting personnel when requested.
Perform other duties assigned by the BEA Technical Point of Contact.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Minimum of three years of experience using PTC Creo software; Creo proficiency is required for immediate contribution.
Overall specialization in precision mechanical design.
Demonstrated ability to apply ASME Y14.5-2009 to real parts and assemblies, including datum systems, position, profile, orientation, runout, form controls, composite controls, projected tolerance zones, virtual condition, and bonus tolerance.
Ability to explain why a GD&T scheme protects function and how the requirement can be manufactured and verified and to identify overconstrained, underdefined, conflicting, or noninspectable requirements.
Advanced skill with PTC Creo and Windchill Data Management Software, or comparable parametric 3D CAD software and a data manager such as PDM or Vault, plus working knowledge of AutoCAD.
Strong command of drawing layout, orthographic projection, section and detail views, dimensioning, tolerancing, weld symbols, parts lists, item ballooning, and revision practices.
Ability to interpret engineering calculations, specifications, vendor data, design inputs, and redlines and convert them into controlled drawing content without changing engineering intent.
Experience performing independent drawing checks and documenting clear, technically defensible comments.
Working knowledge of materials, fabrication processes, machining, welding, inspection methods, assembly practices, and how these constraints affect drawing requirements.
Ability to use logic and structured problem solving to compare alternatives, recognize risk, and resolve discrepancies across models, drawings, bills of material, and source documents.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to ask focused questions, explain technical decisions, accept review feedback, and work effectively with personnel of varied experience levels.
Experience using Windchill or a comparable PDM or Vault data management system in a controlled engineering environment.
Experience mentoring drafting personnel in parametric modeling, detailing, drawing checking, and GD&T application.
Familiarity with fabrication, machining, welding, inspection, and assembly practices that affect drawing and model requirements.
Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited institution and five years of relevant experience, or ten years of relevant experience without a degree.
US citizenship is required due to government contract and/or clearance requirements.
