CAD Drafter/Designer III/SrLOCATION: Remote DURATION: Through 1/22/27 RATE RANGE: $54 - 478/hr.
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.
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 schematicsMSFC 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.
Ground Testing Equipment:
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.
Transportation & Handling Tooling:
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:
