About the role

  • This is a hands-on, high-ownership seat.
  • At most companies, drafting is a downstream function.

Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain detailed 3D CAD models and full assemblies for turbopump hardware: pumps, turbines, housings, impellers, shafts, seals, bearings, manifolds, and the volutes and ducting that tie them together.
  • Push back on design intent where it makes sense: flag features that are expensive, slow, or risky to manufacture, and propose CAD changes that pull cost and lead time out of the part.
  • Drive parts through the PLM release cycle (Teamcenter or equivalent): part numbering, revisions, EBOM structure, and ECO documentation, so configuration is never in doubt.
  • Own the drafting standard: templates, checking routines, title blocks, and review practice.
  • Be the GD&T focal in design reviews and hold the line on drawing quality across the program.
  • flag features that are expensive, slow, or risky to manufacture, and propose CAD changes that pull cost and lead time out of the part.
  • You'll own the 3D models, 2D drawings, GD&T schemes, and stack-ups for pumps, turbines, and the rotating assemblies that operate at the limit of what materials and manufacturing can deliver.
  • You'll sit between design, analysis, manufacturing, quality, and our supply base deciding what the drawing actually says, what gets toleranced where, and how the part will be inspected when it lands at the dock.
  • Here, your drawings are the contract between design intent and the hardware that ends up on the test stand.

Requirements

  • Direct experience with CMM and metrology workflows: GD&T verification, first-article inspection, and nonconformity review.
  • Working knowledge of bearing and seal fits, runout and concentricity targets, and balance-driven drawing requirements.
  • Familiarity with the materials, heat treatments, coatings, and surface finishes used on cryogenic and hot-section turbomachinery.
  • Experience producing assembly drawings, exploded views, and integration/test work instructions used on the floor.
  • Technical degree in mechanical design, product design, industrial drafting, or equivalent practical background.

Nice to have

  • templates, checking routines, title blocks, and review practice.
  • Required Technical degree in mechanical design, product design, industrial drafting, or equivalent practical background.
  • A formal engineering degree is not required, demonstrated drafting depth is.
  • 9+ years releasing detailed drawings for precision mechanical hardware in aerospace, turbomachinery, motorsport, energy, or another high-performance or regulated industry.
  • You've seen how your drawings hold up when the parts come back from the vendor and when the assembly gets torn down post-test.
  • Advanced CAD proficiency, ideally Siemens NX, with real fluency in detail design, large assemblies, and drawing generation.
  • Deep working knowledge of ISO GPS / GD&T and datum strategy, with a track record of producing drawings that inspectors and machinists don't need to interpret.
  • Comfort running tolerance stack-ups, defining fits and clearances, and managing the interfaces that determine whether an assembly works.
