Position Overview
We are seeking a Mid-Level Design Engineer with high proficiency in CREO to support fluid line routing and production CAD activities on cutting-edge aerospace programs. In this role, you will be responsible for the 3D routing, modeling, and drawing release of fluid system lines, tubes, and associated hardware within complex aerospace vehicle assemblies. You will work as an integral member of a broader CAD team preparing design packages for transition to production, ensuring models and drawings are accurate, complete, and release-ready. Experience with fluid systems or propulsion line routing in aerospace industry is preferred.
Key Responsibilities
Fluid Line Routing & 3D Modeling

• Develop and maintain 3D fluid line routes within complex vehicle assemblies using CREO, adhering to program routing standards, bend radius requirements, and clearance constraints
• Route tubing, flex lines, and rigid fluid lines for propellant, pressurant, pneumatic, hydraulic, and/or purge systems as required by program scope
• Coordinate routing paths with structures, thermal, electrical, and propulsion teams to resolve interference conflicts and maintain system accessibility
• Apply and maintain accurate line end conditions, fitting configurations, and support/clamp locations within the 3D model
• Perform clash and clearance checks and resolve issues in coordination with cognizant engineers
• Manage model configurations and revisions in accordance with program CAD standards and PLM workflows

2D Drawing Production & Release

• Produce complete 2D engineering drawings for fluid lines, tube assemblies, and associated fluid system hardware in .drw format
• Ensure drawings include all fabrication details required for production, including bend tables, end fittings, material callouts, and applicable process notes
• Prepare drawings to be fully review-ready and suitable for release to manufacturing
• Incorporate review markups and manage drawing revisions through release
• Support drawing package organization and configuration control in WindChill or equivalent PLM system

Production Transition Support

• Support the CAD team's efforts to prepare the design baseline for production release, including model and drawing audits, completeness checks, and drawing tree organization
• Assist in identifying and resolving open design items, drawing discrepancies, and model maturity gaps ahead of production milestones
• Coordinate with manufacturing, quality, and program engineering teams to ensure design packages meet production entry requirements
• Support as-designed-to-as-built reconciliation activities as needed during early production phases

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3–8 years of experience in aerospace or defense engineering design, with demonstrated CREO proficiency
• Hands-on experience with 3D line routing and tube assembly modeling in CREO
• Experience producing complete 2D engineering drawings in .drw format
• Familiarity with fluid system components including tubing, fittings, flex lines, clamps, and supports
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce review- and release-ready deliverables
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a collaborative CAD team environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience routing fluid lines for propellant, pressurant, pneumatic, or hydraulic systems on launch vehicles, spacecraft, or complex aerospace ground support equipment
• Familiarity with tube fabrication requirements including bend tables, flare and flareless end fittings, and tube material specifications
• Experience supporting design-to-production transitions, including drawing release and manufacturing package preparation
• Experience with WindChill PLM for model and drawing configuration control
• Familiarity with design review processes and requirements management frameworks
• Experience with GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) per ASME Y14.5
• Knowledge of applicable fluid system standards (e.g., AS4395, NAS, MS fittings)
• Experience working on programs with NASA, commercial space, DoD space, or other space/launch vehicle customers
• Experience working in an ITAR-controlled environment

Salary Range:  $65-85/hour, based on experience.
