Job description

Position Summary:

The CAD Drafter/Designer will develop, modify, and release engineering models, assemblies, and drawings for umbilical systems, ground testing equipment, launch pad structures, and transportation/handling tooling. This role requires proficiency in Creo and adherence to Blue Origin modeling conventions and configuration management (CN) requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

Umbilical Systems

• Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for umbilical assemblies, retraction/release mechanisms, and routing hardware.


• Define and document umbilical interfaces with vehicle, payload, and ground support equipment, including connector pinouts and fluid line schematics.

MSFC Creo Support

• Develop, modify, and maintain Creo models, assemblies, and drawings in compliance with Blue Origin modeling conventions and configuration management requirements.


• Perform model checks, design reviews, and CN release activities to ensure conformance with applicable Blue Origin engineering standards.


• Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for test fixtures, stands, and supporting instrumentation hardware.


• Define test equipment interfaces with units under test, including mechanical, fluid, and electrical connections.

Umbilical Mate Simulator

• Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for launch pad structures, mechanical systems, and integrated infrastructure.


• Define and document interfaces between launch pad systems, vehicle, and supporting ground equipment.


• Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and associated tooling.


• Define tooling interfaces and operational requirements, including rigging points, load paths, and handling procedures.

General Responsibilities:

• Generate detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards.


• Maintain product data and configuration management through CN-controlled release processes.


• Collaborate with stress analysts and design engineers to incorporate analysis-driven design chang

Required Qualifications:

• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.


• Proficiency in Creo (Pro/ENGINEER) for modeling, assemblies, and drawing creation.


• Strong working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards.


• Experience with configuration management and engineering change/release processes.
