Senior CAD Engineer

As an Astranis Senior CAD Engineer you will be a leader in the design and configuration of our spacecraft and the documentation and processes used to transfer from design to production. You will develop, maintain and teach others about design methods and best practices, perform spacecraft-level design tasks such as waveguide routing and panel configuration, and manage spacecraft bills of material and change orders in conjunction with the vehicle engineering, production and supply chain teams.

You must have strong CAD design experience in complex systems. Experience with spacecraft is a benefit but is not required.

• Manage configuration of top-level spacecraft assemblies in CAD and create and maintain bills of material for assemblies to transfer to production

• Teach and mentor others in design and drawing best practices

• Manage the programs and procedures that govern how CAD interacts with PLM.

• Model and draw components and systems, especially system-wide assemblies such as waveguide routes, propulsion systems and harnessing.

• Assist in recruiting, interviewing and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team

• 5+ years of experience in a design role and expertise in mechanical CAD

• Experience with design and production of complex assemblies

• A passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment including hands-on development

• Experience in design of spaceflight components and/or vacuum compatible systems

• Experience designing and routing harnesses, waveguides and/or pipes
