Software Mechanical Design Engineer

Boom Technology•Centennial, CO

54d•$123,000 - $155,000

About The Position

At Boom, you will define the CAD architecture, crafting scalable and reliable systems. You'll automate workflows with automations and integrations to shift focus from click-ops to design. Success here is measured by reduced cycle time and seamless team collaboration-enabling engineers to innovate at speed. Now is the time to make CAD an enabler, not a bottleneck! Role Overview Drive CAD architecture and standards with a focus on Onshape, while ensuring processes and integrations are multi-CAD ready. Establish and enforce modeling and drawing best practices, including large assemblies, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, templates, naming, and numbering. Build and maintain automation scripts and lightweight internal tools to replace repetitive tasks with reliable, streamlined workflows. Deliver API integrations across CAD, PLM, ERP, and MES, defining canonical metadata models, mappings, validation rules, retries, and alerting. Own PLM release workflows that are tool agnostic; manage lifecycles, change objects, roles and gates, and the health of CAD to PLM synchronization. Ensure data hygiene and access control by maintaining metadata standards, permission models, audit trails, and deprecating legacy paths. Lead CAD system governance, including user group management, support standards, training, and upgrade/change planning with robust testing and communication protocols.

Requirements

Extensive CAD design experience with complex assemblies and production drawings that can be leveraged to coach best practices and release discipline.
Modern programmer and API integrator who ships maintainable code; comfortable with Python, TypeScript, API development, CI/CD workflows, testing and system monitoring.
Skilled in rapidly building simple, user-friendly internal tool interfaces using React or similar frameworks, with a strong emphasis on clarity and thorough documentation.
Experienced administering PDM and PLM and scaling workflows in complex programs, aerospace or similar environments are preferred.
Service-oriented and supportive to users, while maintaining strict standards for data quality and process integrity.

Nice To Haves

Built high-value Onshape FeatureScripts that replace repetitive steps and enforce standards.
Integrated Onshape with ERP, MES, and business systems through reliable, well-documented APIs.
Worked across multiple CAD systems (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX) while keeping processes CAD-neutral.
Designed CAD-to-CAM workflows that shorten handoffs and reduce rework on the shop floor.
Bridged engineering and IT to align tools with business needs and improve CAD and PLM flow.
