Job summary

Hadrian in Los Angeles designs and builds autonomous manufacturing systems for defense and aerospace. As a CAD Modeler you will create 3D models and 2D drawings from customer data, including M-state configurations, and own parts from first model through release.

You'll collaborate with engineers and production teams to ensure accurate, manufacturable drawings, manage changes in PLM, and deliver reliable geometry for complex parts and assemblies.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building production CAD models and drawings for hardware a factory made.
• Expert use of one parametric 3D CAD application with models that others can modify; NX preferred; CATIA/Creo/SolidWorks also fit.
• Experience building 3D models from complex 2D drawings with features visible only in sections.
• Reads and drafts GD&T per ASME Y14.5, weld and NDT symbols per AWS A2.4, and drawings to ASME Y14.100.
• Experience releasing parts and controlling changes in a PLM system.
• Asks questions when a drawing cannot answer, instead of guessing.
• Sets their own release schedule across many parts and switches priorities quickly.

Responsibilities

• Build manufacturing-ready 3D models from naval and aerospace drawings and customer documents.
• Create 2D drawings for factory use from models or customer files.
• Develop models and drawings for each M-state of a part.
• Resolve conflicting or unclear views across drawings.
• Maintain accurate PLM data and pass parts through release workflows.
• Propagate customer changes through geometry and M-states across part families.
• Create models usable by tooling, programming, and inspection teams.
• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to implement required model and drawing changes.
