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.

• 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).
