  • Identify problems or issues in CAD designs and drawings and provide corrective actions.
  • Manage and control mechanical digital data files and drawings.
  • Prepare and incorporate engineering change orders.
  • Input data and manage hardware structures in a Product Data Management tool (SolidWorks PDM).
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • Associates or Technical degree in Computer Aided Design or Engineering related field
  • Minimum of 1 year of experience in Computer Aided Design.
  • Proficiency in using SolidWorks.
  • Experience generating and/or modifying product models, drawings, and documentation.
  • Ability to read schematics, assembly drawings, and product specifications.
  • Comfortable with collaboration tools such as MS Teams, Confluence, and Jira.
  • Ability to work well under deadlines.
  • Strong organizational skills.
  • An eye for detail.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Strong mechanical proficiency and general understanding of manufacturing (CNC, 3D printing, etc.) and mechanical assembly techniques.
  • Knowledge of applicable government and industry standards including ASME Y14.5 (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) and ASME Y14.100 (Engineering Drawing Practices), and its application techniques.
  • Previous experience in supporting the design of electronic packages, ground structures, mechanisms, and/or composite structures.
  • Aerospace or automotive electronics design experience.
CesiumAstro considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills.  Full-time employment offers include company stock options and a generous benefits package including health, dental, vision, HSA, FSA, life, disability and retirement plans.  
 
CesiumAstro is an Equal Opportunity employer.  All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected Veteran Status, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.
