Description

Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS) is seeking Principal Engineering CAD Administrator to join the Configuration Management team.  As one of our CAD Administrators, you will be in a technical, hands-on role, responsible for the administration of the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) System, Siemens Teamcenter. This individual will work in a dynamic environment with Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Design Drafting departments to develop CAD standards, validate Engineering 3D Models which are used to manufacture hardware, and be the Engineering subject matter expert on modeling techniques and standards.  Our work is mission critical and directly contributes to national security. 

Responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Manage the CAD System (Teamcenter) database to ensure data accuracy as CAD Administrator
• Serve as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to Engineering and Drafting for CREO and Teamcenter including coaching and mentoring
• Check 3D model design for compliance against Engineering drawings, or specifications, and verifying soundness of design, and capability of fit between components.
• Automate processes and standardize through workflows, templates, and other means.
• Provide administration for CAD software applications, resolving end user issues, and ensuring end user compliance to engineering modeling and drafting standards
• Develop and implement CREO modeling standards in regards to standard parts, templates, formats, and configuration files.
• Implement and maintain CREO Check-Mate ­to meet current business needs
• Validate released CAD models to released drawings from simple to complex geometry and dimensions accuracy and ASME standards before releasing to Manufacturing for production

The ideal candidate has a thorough understanding of fundamental configuration management principles related to configuration control of 3D models. We are moving to a digital environment, where you will be responsible for ensuring that NX and CREO 3D models generated by Engineering (or Design Drafting) meet ASME standards. 3D models are used by Manufacturing to machine parts, and by Quality Engineering to inspect parts. You will be responsible for working with Engineering and Drafting to adhere to current modeling standards, which will be presented through formal in-class training, or training materials. If you enjoy working in a team environment, taking on challenging tasks, and being part of a team that is changing the culture and moving towards a digital environment, apply today!
