Senior PTC Creo Mechanical Designer for Advanced Research

Ltd Global; Berkeley (CA); On-site; USD 83,000 - 118,000; Full time

Job summary

Ltd Global is seeking a Mechanical CAD Designer (PTC Creo Expert) for a 12-month, on-site contract in Berkeley, CA.

You will create and maintain 3D part and assembly models in Creo, develop manufacturing-ready drawings with GD&T, and collaborate with engineers to deliver complex systems and precise documentation.

Requires 5+ years Creo experience and strong documentation practices. On-site role with minimal travel.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of Creo Parametric (Pro/E, Wildfire) experience.
• Advanced modeling skills: top-down design, patterns, sweeps.
• Drawing package expertise, including GD&T and BOMs.
• Solid mechanical sense balancing cost, schedule, and materials.
• Clear communication and strong documentation habits.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain detailed 3D part and assembly models in Creo Parametric for apparatus, equipment, assemblies, facilities, utilities, and systems.
• Interpret engineering concepts and layouts, then develop, evaluate, and refine design concepts with the engineering team.
• Translate functional requirements into designs that balance form, function, schedule, cost, and material constraints.
• Build and manage complex assemblies using parent-child relationships, top-down design, patterns, sweeps and trajectories, and simplified representations.
• Revise designs based on engineering feedback, design reviews, and approved engineering changes.
• Prepare complete, manufacturing-ready drawing packages: detailed fabrication drawings, multi-sheet assembly drawings, and bills of materials.
• Apply GD&T and project drafting standards to every drawing.
• Clearly communicate design intent with enough detail to support fabrication, assembly, inspection, and installation.
• Produce interface and integration models or drawings showing how components fit within larger systems.
• Work closely with mechanical engineers, scientists, other engineering disciplines, and project managers to define requirements and solve technical problems.
• Evaluate design alternatives and make sure designs integrate smoothly with surrounding assemblies and interfaces.
• Participate in design coordination meetings and design reviews.
• Flag unresolved technical issues early and keep work on track with schedules and priorities.
