As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will design and deliver 3D models and drawings for mechanical structures and mechanisms supporting ground systems and Tooling at LC-36 and the Rocket Factory. You will apply drafting standards and GD&T, create build-to and installation packages, manage product structures and change notices in Windchill, perform model and drawing checks, and collaborate with build and field teams to ensure safe, high-quality, and on-time execution.

• Create and maintain Creo models and detailed drawings for structures, mechanisms, weldments, and machined parts
• Apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T, Y14.100, and Y14.41 standards to communicate design intent and inspection criteria
• Use Creo AFX to develop structural frameworks, platforms, and support assemblies
• Generate build-to and installation packages and incorporate redlines from field fit-up
• Manage product structures, BOMs, and configuration baselines in Windchill; drive change notices through release reviews
• Perform model and drawing check activities and support continuous improvement of drafting standards
• Coordinate closely with engineering, manufacturing, and site operations to resolve design and build issues
• Manage large assemblies and maintain performance and data integrity within PLM
• Mentor junior drafters and support peer reviews to elevate team quality
• Support the authoring and maintaining of department documents, best practices, templates, and standards for CAD, drafting, and PLM processes; develop checklists and training materials and help drive adoption across the team

• AS in Drafting/Design, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or related field; or equivalent practical experience
• 8+ years of mechanical drafting and technical design experience using Creo and Windchill
• Proficiency with Creo AFX for structural assemblies
• Strong knowledge of ASME Y14.5 GD&T, Y14.100, and Y14.41
• Proven experience creating fabrication and installation drawings for structures, mechanisms, weldments, and machined parts
• Experience in drawing generation, checking, release processes, and configuration management within PLM
• Ability to work autonomously in a fast paced environment and collaborate with cross functional teams

• Experience with structural steel, sheet metal, fasteners, and common fabrication and assembly methods
• Background supporting ground support equipment, platforms, fixtures, lifting and rigging interfaces, and mechanisms
• Experience developing installation packages, incorporating redlines, and supporting field validation
• Advanced Creo skills (large assembly management, drawing automation, MBD) and strong Windchill configuration control practices
• Experience leading peer reviews, mentoring, and driving standard work within CAD and PLM processes
