Position Overview
We are seeking a Mid-Level Design Engineer with in-depth CREO knowledge to support passive thermal systems on cutting-edge aerospace programs. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, modeling, and documentation of passive thermal insulation systems, including Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI), cryogenic MLI (cryo-MLI), and Spray-On Foam Insulation (SOFI). You will work cross-functionally with thermal and structures engineering teams and interface directly with program stakeholders to deliver high-quality, review-ready drawings and documentation that meet program requirements. Experience with thermal systems is strongly preferred; candidates with a strong general design and drafting background and a willingness to develop thermal domain knowledge will also be considered.
3D & 2D Thermal Insulation Design and Modeling
- Develop complete 3D and 2D models and engineering drawings for passive thermal insulation systems using CREO
- Produce drawings in .CATDrawing or .drw file formats in accordance with program standards
- Support design of MLI blanket flat patterns, layup stackups, and installation details for cylindrical and complex geometries
- Support cryo-MLI drawings, including purge provisions, perforated layer callouts, and cryogenic material specifications
- Support SOFI drawings, including coverage maps, thickness callouts by zone, ramp and transition geometry, and application sequence details
- Ensure all models and drawings are fully complete and ready for peer review and final approval prior to submission
- Incorporate review feedback and manage drawing revisions
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience in lieu of degree)
- 3–8 years of experience in engineering design or drafting within aerospace, defense, or a related industry
- Proficiency in CREO for 3D modeling and 2D drawing creation
- Experience producing engineering drawings in .drw format
- Demonstrated ability to develop and document engineering requirements
Preferred Qualifications
- Direct experience with passive thermal insulation systems, including MLI, cryo-MLI, or SOFI design and documentation
- Experience working on programs with NASA, commercial space, DoD space, or other space/launch vehicle customers
- Familiarity with cryogenic propellant system design and associated purge/vent requirements
- Knowledge of aerospace manufacturing and assembly processes relevant to thermal protection systems
- Experience with WindChill PLM
- Familiarity with design review processes and requirements management frameworks
- Experience working in an ITAR-controlled environment
Salary Range (based on experience/how assessed):
Mechanical Design Engineer 2 – $130,000 to $149.000/year
Mechanical Design Engineer 3 – $150,000 to $179.000/year
Work Environment
This position may require on-site presence at customers or manufacturing facilities. Candidates must be able to obtain and maintain any necessary facility access credentials. Some travel may be required.
