Job description

Readiness delivered.Kratos is seeking a skilled Building Information Modeling (BIM)Engineer to support the development of highly detailed and accurate 3D building information models that enable seamless communication across engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, and construction teams. In this role, you will transform complex design inputs into precise REVIT and CAD models that drive efficient program execution and reduce risk throughout the engineering lifecycle. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, you will play a critical part in ensuring mechanical, structural, and electrical systems integrate effectively within large?scale defense and simulation programs. This position is ideal for someone who thrives in a collaborative, technology?driven environment and is passionate about delivering high?quality digital models that support innovative engineering solutions. The BIM engineer incorporates CAD models and other engineering inputs to develop and manage detailed 3D building information models using REVIT, Navisworks and other BIM tools. These models are used to ensure clear communication for manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, and construction, thereby minimizing errors and supporting efficient program execution.

• Generates and collaborates in drawings, electronic models, and documentation used for manufacturing, integration, and testing
• Interprets engineering sketches, specifications, redline markups, calculations, and other design inputs to accurately translate concepts into detailed 2D and 3D technical drawings and models
• Applies REVIT software tools, drafting principles, and industry best practices to create precise representations of components, assemblies, and systems
• Ensures that all drawings and models clearly convey necessary information for manufacturing, fabrication, assembly, and construction
• Identifies and assesses potential risks associated with designs and their manufacture and proposes mitigation strategies
• Liaison with manufacturing and process engineers, systems engineers, and simulator designers to ensure integration of mechanical systems is feasible and achievable

Experience and Skills

• Proficiency with AutoDesk Revit to generate building information models (BIM) incorporating 3D models, preferably to include those generated in SolidWorks
• Experience creating Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows, family creation, and managing BIM data
• Proficiency in the interpretation and creation of technical drawings and 3D models using CAD, interface control documents, requirements specifications, and system models
• Experienced applying clash-detection tools (e.g., Navisworks)
• Experienced in design for manufacturing and knowledge of common manufacturing methods
• Proficiency in principles of solid mechanics, hydraulics, and materials
• Must possess a working knowledge of ASME Y14.1 and Y14.5 GD&T standards
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and construction methods relevant to the types of drawings being produced (e.g., mechanical, electrical, architectural, and structural)

Preferred Skills/Experience

• Experience with large mechanical structures
• Advanced proficiency in one or more of the following CAD or modeling software packages: AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, Inventor
• Experience with any combination of the following software: SolidWorks PDM, Jama requirements management, Jira task management, TipQA
• Knowledge and/or experience with relevant quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001)
• Proficiency in any combination of: HVAC, Fire Alarm and Suppression Systems (FASS), piping and valves, structural decking, industrial simulation
• Specific experience in a specialized area of drafting, such as Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), electrical schematics and wiring diagrams, complex mechanical assemblies, or detailed structural steel drafting
• Well versed in both mechanical and electrical drafting.
• Familiarity with Product Data Management (PDM) or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for drawing control and revision management
