CAD Designer

SHINE Technologies LLC•Janesville, WI

5d•$78,000 - $95,000•Onsite

About The Position

The CAD Designer designs and documents plant systems for Chrysalis, SHINE’s flagship Molybdenum-99 production facility. The facility is intended to become the world’s largest isotope production facility and a first-of-a-kind nuclear-enabled chemical processing plant. Its production will expand the supply of a medical isotope used in tens of millions of diagnostic procedures annually. The role covers process systems such as piping, pressure vessels, pumps, and valves, as well as HVAC, fire protection, civil and structural systems, cooling systems, electrical distribution, and architectural features. The designer creates 3D models to coordinate design and construction, identify interferences, support seismic evaluations, generate piping isometrics, and produce drawings for construction and operations. The position works with engineers and other stakeholders to incorporate technical feedback, resolve design conflicts, and verify installed conditions against the model of record. This is an onsite position in Janesville, Wisconsin. The annual base salary range is $78,000 to $95,000, plus a comprehensive compensation package.

Requirements

An associate degree in engineering or a related discipline and three to five years of recent design experience, or a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline with recent design experience. Relevant experience may substitute for the degree requirement, depending on the candidate.
Demonstrated proficiency using AutoCAD, Revit, or SolidWorks.
Familiarity with drafting and design standards.
Experience designing systems from the ground up, including responsibility for basic design considerations.
Attention to detail and the ability to communicate design rationale to designers and engineers.
Proficiency with the AutoCAD Plant 3D toolset.
Experience in pipe design.
Experience with Navisworks Manage for model coordination and clash detection.
Eligibility to qualify for access to information subject to U.S. Export Controls; eligibility may also depend on meeting Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements for access to Safeguards Information.

Responsibilities

Design and document plant process systems using 3D modeling tools, including components, process skids, and facility plans across mechanical, fire protection, plumbing, and electrical scopes, integrating information from vendors and CAD/BIM platforms.
Create and modify Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs), Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), and 3D plant and system piping in AutoCAD Plant 3D.
Create and modify 3D models and associated detailed 2D drawings for structural and architectural design in Revit.
Create and modify process skids in SolidWorks, incorporating reference geometry imported from external CAD platforms.
Develop complex piping drawings from baseline information such as P&IDs, General Arrangements, piping specifications, and equipment arrangement drawings.
Modify 3D models of tanks, vessels, piping, and equipment, and generate associated detailed mechanical drawings.
Design systems that support safe, efficient, and effective facility operations, including equipment and controls used to produce and process medical isotopes and fissile solutions.
Work with engineers and stakeholders to translate technical feedback and informal design notes into accurate model updates.
Identify and resolve design conflicts across the engineering organization, updating the integrated model accordingly.
Provide design recommendations to other designers and engineers.
Conduct site and installed-system walkdowns to capture as-built conditions and reconcile them with the model of record.
