Job description

We are seeking a CADD Technologist to join our dynamic team of engineers and scientists developing groundbreaking technologies in one of our Pulsed Power Sciences Departments! Are you passionate about mechanical design and the creation and configuration management of 3D models and detailed drawings? If so, you will want to consider this opportunity to design new components applying engineering principles and processes to satisfy fit, form and function requirements in a collaborative environment with engineering and design partners.

Due to the nature of the work, the selected applicant must be able to work onsite 100% of the time at the Albuquerque, NM site.

Responsibilities

• Create 3D models and drawings to build next generation accelerators and pulsed power machines.
• Partner with engineers and scientists in developing designs.
• Partner with engineers to discuss and interpret design concepts and identify requirements of detailed working drawings.
• Collaborate with procurement, manufacturing, and suppliers to discuss design, schedule, manufacturing processes and materials selections to ensure contractual agreements are understood and achievable.
• Manage documentation in a collaborative engineering environment using product data management tools along with engineering authorization and approval processes and procedures.

Qualifications

• High school diploma plus three or more years of directly related experience in Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD), or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Proficiency in creating mechanical product design definition to include 3D solid models and mechanical drawings.
• Proficiency with PTC/CREO, PDMLink (Windchill), and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE L security clearance.

Desired Qualifications

• Associate degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology.
• Experience with foundational engineering principles related to design, manufacturing, configuration management and analysis.
• Experience with Model Based Design (MBD) practices.
• Ability to work in an energetic and high-performance teaming environment.
• Must be able to independently seek definition, evaluate, analyze, and then realize mechanical designs, definitions, and products.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to present to a diverse audience.

Physical Demands

• If you have a Medical Portable Electronic Device (MedPED), such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, drug‑releasing pump, hearing aids, or diagnostic equipment—and other equipment for measuring, monitoring, and recording body functions such as heartbeat and brain waves—if employed by a sub‑contractor you may be required to comply with NNSA security requirements for MedPEDs.
• If you have a MedPED and you are selected for an on‑site interview at a sub‑contractor, there may be additional steps necessary to ensure compliance with NNSA security requirements prior to the interview date.
