What is a SpaceX CAD?

A SpaceX CAD (Computer-Aided Design) job involves creating detailed technical drawings and 3D models for aerospace components, structures, and systems. CAD designers and engineers use software like CATIA or SolidWorks to design spacecraft, rockets, and related hardware. They collaborate with engineers to ensure designs meet performance, manufacturability, and safety standards. Attention to detail and knowledge of aerospace materials and manufacturing processes are essential for success in this role.

What does a SpaceX CAD do?

A typical day for a SpaceX CAD professional involves creating, modifying, and reviewing 3D models and engineering drawings to support spacecraft and rocket development. You will collaborate closely with engineers, manufacturing teams, and quality assurance to ensure that your designs are manufacturable, meet safety regulations, and align with project requirements. CAD professionals often participate in design reviews and troubleshooting sessions, working in a dynamic, deadline-driven environment. The role offers exposure to cutting-edge aerospace projects and provides opportunities to expand your technical expertise and take on greater design responsibilities over time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the SpaceX CAD position?

To excel as a SpaceX CAD (Computer-Aided Design) professional, you need a strong background in mechanical or aerospace engineering, proficiency in CAD modeling, and experience interpreting technical drawings. Familiarity with industry-standard software such as CATIA, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX, and knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), are often required. Excellent attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective collaboration are crucial in a fast-paced team environment. These skills ensure high-quality technical designs that meet strict aerospace standards and contribute to SpaceX’s innovative mission goals.

Job description

About the Company
Panthalassa is a renewable energy and ocean technology company operating as a public benefit corporation. We are committed to rapidly developing and deploying technologies that will ensure a sustainable future for Earth by unlocking the vast energy potential of its oceans. Our focus is on capturing civilizational levels of ultra-low-cost renewable energy for applications including computing and affordable renewable fuels delivered to shore.
About the Role
We are seeking a CAD Technician to bridge the gap between initial structural concepts and production-ready engineering releases. In this role, you will focus heavily on CAD execution, assembly management, and technical documentation for our core technology, the "Node"-a device designed to generate energy and survive for decades in the world's harshest offshore environments.
You will own the "last-mile" engineering definition that turns structural concepts into NX models, drawings, and releases that the shop can build without guessing. You'll work at the intersection of design, analysis, and fabrication-making clean assemblies, clear drawings, and a PLM structure that matches how we actually build and service hardware.
Our staff have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Stoke, Boeing, Virgin Orbit, Virgin Galactic, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries.
We are backed by leading venture capital firms, private investors, philanthropic investors, and endowments. We strive to be the best engineering team on the planet. If you are an excellent engineer and technical leader, regardless of your background, we want you to apply.
Key Responsibilities
  • NX Modeling & Assembly: Develop and maintain expert-level 3D CAD component models and large-scale mechanical assemblies within Siemens NX.
  • Drawing & Detailing: Lead the creation of complex fabrication and assembly drawings, ensuring absolute clarity, accuracy, and technical rigor.
  • Structural Documentation: Personally own the detailed documentation and drafting for large-scale, safety-critical welded steel structures and subassemblies.
  • PLM & Lifecycle Management: Integrate all design data tightly within Siemens Teamcenter PLM to support manufacturing accuracy and streamlined engineering release processes.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with structural analysts, manufacturing teams, and shop floor technicians to optimize designs for manufacturability and marine service.
  • Release Ownership: Drive clean engineering releases (ECR/ECO or equivalent), maintain configuration discipline, and keep definition aligned with what's being built.
  • Standards & Libraries: Help establish and maintain drawing/modeling standards, templates, and common details so the next release is faster and more consistent than the last.
Required Qualifications
  • Education/Experience: Associate's Degree, Bachelor's Degree, or 5+ years of relevant professional CAD experience in a similarly complex industry
  • CAD Expertise: Extensive CAD experience on Siemens NX
  • Technical Standards: Knowledge of relevant engineering standards such as ASME Y14.100.
  • Structural Experience: Proven track record in the design detailing and documentation of metallic structures, load paths, and large-scale welded assemblies.
  • Professional Mindset: High attention to detail with a meticulous approach to technical documentation, alongside the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative startup environment.
Desired Qualifications
  • Ability to apply understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure components are practical and buildable.
  • Familiarity with marine/offshore engineering fundamentals or corrosion-conscious detailing for seawater service.
  • Exposure to relevant industrial codes and standards (e.g., AWS D1.1, DNV, ABS, or ASME BPVC).
  • Experience releasing welded fabrication packages that include weld symbols, inspection callouts, and clear acceptance criteria.
  • Experience partnering directly with fab shops (internal or external) and iterating drawings based on build feedback.
Compensation and Benefits
If hired for this full-time role, you will receive:
  • Cash compensation of $90,000 - $140,000.
  • Equity in the company. We're all owners and if we're successful, this equity should be far and away the most valuable component of your compensation.
  • A benefits package that helps you take care of yourself and your family, including:
    • Flexible paid time off
    • Health insurance (the company pays 100% of gold level PPO plan for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)
    • Dental insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees and 100% for their partners and dependents)
    • Vision insurance (the company pays 100% for full-time employees, their partners, and dependents)
    • Disability insurance (the company pays 100% for a policy to provide long-term financial support if you become disabled)
    • Ability to contribute to tax-advantaged accounts, including 401(k), health FSA, and dependent care FSA
  • Relocation assistance to facilitate your move to Portland (if needed).

Location
Our offices, lab, and shop are located in Portland, Oregon.
