Job description

Castelion is moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus, ownership, and excellence are decisive advantages - and we're building a world-class team to turn bold ideas into real capability.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where you'll have significant ownership, collaborate with exceptional teammates, and make a direct, measurable impact on our mission and the future of the company - regardless of your function.

About Castelion

Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We're designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts.

Castelion is seeking a hands-on, high-agency NX Engineer to own the Siemens NX and support Teamcenter environment that our design engineers depend on every day. You will be the go-to technical expert for NX across Castelion's hypersonic vehicle programs, keeping the CAD/PLM toolchain fast, stable, and standardized so engineers can move from concept to flight hardware in weeks, not years. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves solving engineers' problems at the desk and at scale, and wants to see their work directly accelerate flight hardware.

Responsibilities

• Own installation, licensing, configuration, and upgrades of Siemens NX across engineering workstations, including license server administration and version rollouts

Basic Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience administering or supporting Siemens NX in an engineering environment
• Hands-on experience with NX/Teamcenter integration and Teamcenter administration concepts
• Experience with NX licensing, installation, deployment, and version upgrades
• Strong troubleshooting skills and a customer-first mindset when supporting engineers
• Experience in aerospace, defense, or other hardware-focused industries
• Ability to work on-site in Torrance 5 days a week with occasional travel to other sites across US

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Top Secret security clearance
• Experience with NX Open (C#, C++, Python, or VB.NET), journals, and Knowledge Fusion
• Experience with BMIDE, Active Workspace, and Teamcenter workflows
• Experience implementing MBD/PMI in a production environment
• NX CAM and post-processor experience
• NX Routing experience (Routing Electrical for 3D wire harness design, Routing Mechanical for tubing/piping), ideally alongside Siemens Capital (Capital Harness Design / Formboard)
• Experience with Siemens Fibersim for NX (composite ply design, flat patterns, and manufacturing outputs such as ply nesting and laser projection)
• Familiarity with Altium Designer and MCAD/ECAD collaboration
• Experience supporting engineering IT in a CMMC / NIST 800-171 or ITAR-controlled environment

All full-time employees are granted meaningful long-term equity, sharing in the company's significant growth trajectory.
