- Shape the tools our engineers use daily by configuring and enhancing our CAD software, plugins, and workflows to maximize efficiency.
- Collaborate directly with design engineers, providing expert support and guidance on 3D modeling and assembly best practices within Autodesk Inventor.
- Drive engineering excellence by developing and implementing automation for repetitive CAD tasks using tools like Inventor iLogic and Vault workflows.
- Serve as our go-to expert for all things Autodesk Vault, establishing and governing file organization, naming conventions, and metadata standards.
- Uphold the rigorous standards of the defense industry by supporting our Configuration and Data Management (CM/DM) processes to ensure full traceability.
- Create and deliver clear documentation and training, empowering our engineering team with the knowledge they need to excel with our CAD tools.
What You Bring
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Computer-Aided Design, a related technical field, or equivalent experience from a technical apprenticeship.
- At least 3–5 years of hands-on experience as a CAD Administrator, CAD Manager, or a similar role, ideally within a complex industry like defense, robotics, or automotive.
- Deep expertise in administering Autodesk Vault and strong proficiency in 3D modeling, assemblies, and drafting with Autodesk Inventor.
- A solid foundation in PDM/PLM principles and data management best practices.
- A passion for efficiency, with experience in CAD automation using tools like iLogic or APIs to improve workflows.
- An analytical mindset with meticulous attention to detail and strong problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to train and mentor technical teams.
- Familiarity with the demands of engineering in a regulated industry is a significant plus.
Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.
