Mechanical Designer - CREO

Huntsville, AL 35801

Posted: 01/29/2026 Employment Type: Contract Industry: Engineering Job Number: 86338

Job Description

We're seeking an experienced CREO Mechanical Design Engineer who can hit the ground running on complex hardware. You'll own end-to-end mechanical design—from concept through detailed modeling, drawings, prototyping support, and release—collaborating with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced, build-focused environment.

  • Create and manage parametric 3D models and fully defined 2D drawings in PTC Creo (complex assemblies, GD&T, tolerances, and BOMs).

  • Drive design from requirements to release: concepts, trade studies, DFM/DFA, tolerance stacks, ECOs, and configuration control.

  • Execute design changes rapidly based on test findings, supplier feedback, and manufacturing input.

  • Partner with manufacturing, suppliers, and test to resolve fit/form/function issues and support first-article builds.

  • Maintain data integrity in PLM/PDM (e.g., Windchill) with clean revision history, release workflows, and part libraries.

  • Apply GD&T per ASME Y14.5, materials selection, finishes, and fastener standards.

  • Prepare design documentation: spec sheets, layouts, exploded views, and assembly instructions.

Job Requirements

  • 2000+ recent hours (last role, last 12–24 months) of hands-on PTC Creo design—please highlight projects and dates to verify recency.

  • 5+ years professional mechanical design experience (high-mix assemblies, tight tolerances, or complex mechanisms).

  • Proven strength in GD&T, tolerance analysis, and detailed drawing packages ready for fabrication.

  • Demonstrated DFM/DFA with machined, sheet-metal, cast, and additive components; vendor collaboration experience.

  • PLM/PDM proficiency (Windchill strongly preferred) and disciplined change control/ECO practices.

  • Ability to start quickly and own deliverables with minimal ramp.


Nice to have

  • Experience in aerospace/defense, energy hardware, robotics, or automotive environments.

  • Static/dynamic FEA familiarity (Creo Simulate, Ansys) and test correlation.

  • Knowledge of AS9100/ISO documentation, configuration management, and PPAP/FAI processes.

  • Materials expertise (aluminum, stainless, titanium, composites, polymers) and coatings/finishes.

  • Basic scripting/automation in Creo or model-based definition (MBD).

Work model & travel

  • Onsite: Huntsville or Los Angeles.

  • Virtual/Hybrid: Considered for senior designers with proven remote delivery; periodic travel for builds or supplier visits may be required.

Education

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent hands-on experience with a strong portfolio).
