At MORI Associates, we partner with some of the most visionary and mission-critical organizations in the world—including NASA, JPL, DoD, and leading science and technology innovators. Since 1997, our mid-sized, nationwide team has been driven by a shared belief: agile, passionate, forward-thinking professionals can meaningfully advance the future of science and technology for the benefit of life on Earth and beyond.

We provide a full spectrum of high-impact services, from strategic consulting to sophisticated engineering and information systems solutions. If you're looking to apply your technical expertise to projects that push scientific boundaries and shape the future of space exploration, MORI Associates is where your next chapter begins.

We are seeking a Mid-Level Design Engineer with in-depth CREO knowledge to support passive thermal systems on cutting-edge aerospace programs. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, modeling, and documentation of passive thermal insulation systems, including Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI), cryogenic MLI (cryo-MLI), and Spray-On Foam Insulation (SOFI). You will work cross-functionally with thermal and structures engineering teams and interface directly with program stakeholders to deliver high-quality, review-ready drawings and documentation that meet program requirements. Experience with thermal systems is strongly preferred; candidates with a strong general design and drafting background and a willingness to develop thermal domain knowledge will also be considered.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience in lieu of degree)
• 3–8 years of experience in engineering design or drafting within aerospace, defense, or a related industry
• Proficiency in CREO for 3D modeling and 2D drawing creation
• Experience producing engineering drawings in .drw format
• Demonstrated ability to develop and document engineering requirements
• Must be a Green Card holder or US Citizen

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience with passive thermal insulation systems, including MLI, cryo-MLI, or SOFI design and documentation
• Experience working on programs with NASA, commercial space, DoD space, or other space/launch vehicle customers
• Familiarity with cryogenic propellant system design and associated purge/vent requirements
• Knowledge of aerospace manufacturing and assembly processes relevant to thermal protection systems
• Experience with WindChill PLM
• Familiarity with design review processes and requirements management frameworks
• Experience working in an ITAR-controlled environment

Responsibilities

• Develop complete 3D and 2D models and engineering drawings for passive thermal insulation systems using CREO
• Produce drawings in .CATDrawing or .drw file formats in accordance with program standards
• Support design of MLI blanket flat patterns, layup stackups, and installation details for cylindrical and complex geometries
• Support cryo-MLI drawings, including purge provisions, perforated layer callouts, and cryogenic material specifications
• Support SOFI drawings, including coverage maps, thickness callouts by zone, ramp and transition geometry, and application sequence details
• Ensure all models and drawings are fully complete and ready for peer review and final approval prior to submission
• Incorporate review feedback and manage drawing revisions

Benefits

• Full spectrum of high-impact services
• Strategic consulting
• Sophisticated engineering and information systems solutions
• Opportunity to apply technical expertise to projects that push scientific boundaries and shape the future of space exploration
