About The Position

Embark on a journey where your engineering prowess shapes the future of aerospace innovation. We're seeking a dedicated Model Based Definition Engineer to join our team, contributing to the next generation of jet engine technology. This role involves creating detailed 2D cross-sections, 3D models, and Model-Based Definitions (MBD) within Siemens NX and Teamcenter environments. You will also conceptualize and design gas turbine external components, work with cross-functional teams to define dimensional constraints and geometric tolerances, and utilize Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to drive improvements in quality, speed, and precision. Project management within CAD and CAM environments is also a key aspect of this role.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited institution or equivalent experience.
Minimum of 1 year in 3D modeling of aero-engines and gas turbine components.
Proficiency in Siemens NX/Teamcenter preferred.
Strong understanding of ASME Y14.5 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing.
Ability to interpret technical drawings.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills; ability to engage with team members at all levels.
U.S. citizenship required; active Secret Clearance or ability to obtain one.

Nice To Haves

Bachelor's in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) with 1-3 years of product definition experience.
Experience with Siemens NX CAD Drafting and MBD, and Teamcenter PLM in designing mechanical engine components.
Experience in adoption and/or integration of emerging technologies (e.g., generative AI, automation platforms, digital assistants) into day-to-day operations for continuous improvement.

Responsibilities

Create detailed 2D cross-sections, 3D models, and Model-Based Definitions (MBD) within Siemens NX and Teamcenter environments.
Aid in the redesign of various externals components, support the investigation of root cause for failures, and subsequent design reviews.
Conceptualize and design gas turbine external components.
Work with cross-functional teams to define dimensional constraints and geometric tolerances, ensuring optimal manufacturing processes.
Utilize Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to drive improvements in quality, speed, and precision.
Navigate CAD and CAM environments, managing projects within budget and schedule, delivering uncompromising quality.
