ATA is seeking a CAD designer with a strong interest in designing and supporting fabrication and testing activities for all types of mechanical hardware across a variety of industries, including themed entertainment, aerospace and defense, and industrial machinery. The successful candidate will be able to quickly adapt to new projects, support multiple concurrent projects, collaborate frequently with small and medium-sized engineering teams, and be open to occasional travel to customer sites. Professional experience working with SolidWorks, NX, or a similar CAD program (modeling and drafting) is essential. This is a full-time position (40 hours per week with benefits and occasional overtime). ATA is headquartered in San Diego, California, but serves clients globally.

Develop 3D CAD models and production-ready drawings, in collaboration with engineering team, to support design, documentation, fabrication, assembly, and other product development activities.
Produce and review production-ready assembly and detail drawings, applying annotations, notes, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) elements consistent with the ASME Y14.5 standard.
Produce other design documentation such as parts lists, schematics, and design review materials.
Apply basic design principles to identify, size, and select commercial off-the-shelf mechanical components for engineering designs.
Maintain and apply fundamental knowledge of manufacturing processes for commonly used engineering materials.
Apply basic design principles in developing and checking structural and mechanical designs, including connections.
Interface with suppliers to support the procurement of prototype or production components and assemblies.
Occasionally support fabrication and functional testing of mechanical systems.

Must be a US Person.
Computer-Aided Drafting and Design degree (A.S.) or similar; alternatively, three or more years of mechanical design and/or fabrication and assembly experience.
Ability and willingness to travel to customer sites (within and outside of California).
Substantial professional experience with solid design (3D modeling) and computer-aided drafting (2D).
Recent experience with SolidWorks or Siemens NX (or both) is a significant advantage.
Experience with other 3D or 2D CAD packages, such as Creo, Inventor, and AutoCAD, will be considered.
Ability to make drawings consistent with the ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.
Ability to select and size appropriate hardware from commercial off-the-shelf inventory for mechanical designs.
Excellent English verbal and written communication skills enabling preparation of clear and precise documentation.
Strong technical skills (engineering software, mechanical aptitude, office and productivity software).
Strong interpersonal skills and experience working in technical teams.
Ability to work productively without close supervision.

Experience designing flight hardware including mechanisms, flexures, honeycomb panels, composites, glass, optical components, and mechanical fasteners.
Experience designing ground-based mechanical equipment and heavy structures (bolted construction and/or welded).
Experience designing mechatronic and robotic systems.
Experience with machine tools (mill, lathe, drill press, etc.).

Full-time position (40 hours per week with benefits and occasional overtime).
