Design Engineer – Fluid Systems

Role Overview

• Develop and maintain 3D fluid line routes within complex vehicle assemblies using CREO, adhering to program routing standards, bend radius requirements, and clearance constraints
• Route tubing, flex lines, and rigid fluid lines for propellant, pressurant, pneumatic, hydraulic, and/or purge systems as required by program scope
• Coordinate routing paths with structures, thermal, electrical, and propulsion teams to resolve interference conflicts and maintain system accessibility
• Apply and maintain accurate line end conditions, fitting configurations, and support/clamp locations within the 3D model
• Perform clash and clearance checks and resolve issues in coordination with cognizant engineers
• Manage model configurations and revisions in accordance with program CAD standards and PLM workflows
• Produce complete 2D engineering drawings for fluid lines, tube assemblies, and associated fluid system hardware in .drw format
• Ensure drawings include all fabrication details required for production, including bend tables, end fittings, material callouts, and applicable process notes
• Prepare drawings to be fully review-ready and suitable for release to manufacturing
• Incorporate review markups and manage drawing revisions through release
• Support drawing package organization and configuration control in WindChill or equivalent PLM system
• Support the CAD team's efforts to prepare the design baseline for production release, including model and drawing audits, completeness checks, and drawing tree organization
• Assist in identifying and resolving open design items, drawing discrepancies, and model maturity gaps ahead of production milestones
• Coordinate with manufacturing, quality, and program engineering teams to ensure design packages meet production entry requirements
• Support as-designed-to-as-built reconciliation activities as needed during early production phases

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field
• 3–8 years of experience in aerospace or defense engineering design, with demonstrated CREO proficiency
• Hands-on experience with 3D line routing and tube assembly modeling in CREO
• Experience producing complete 2D engineering drawings in .drw format
• Familiarity with fluid system components including tubing, fittings, flex lines, clamps, and supports
• Strong attention to detail and ability to produce review
• and release-ready deliverables
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within a collaborative CAD team environment
