- Define test equipment interfaces with units under test, including mechanical, fluid, and electrical connections.
Umbilical Mate Simulation
- Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for launch pad structures, mechanical systems, and integrated infrastructure.
- Define and document interfaces between launch pad systems, vehicle, and supporting ground equipment.
Transportation & Handling Tooling
- Develop and release CN-controlled designs, models, and drawings for lifting fixtures, transport frames, handling rings, and associated tooling.
- Define tooling interfaces and operational requirements, including rigging points, load paths, and handling procedures.
Required Qualifications:
- Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Drafting, Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
- Proficiency in Creo (Pro/Engineer) for modeling, assembly, and drawing creation.
- Strong working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards.
- Experience with configuration management and engineering change/release processes.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience working with NASA MSFC modeling conventions and standards.
- Familiarity with fluid line schematics, electrical connector pinouts, and interface documentation.
- Experience designing ground support equipment, tooling, or launch pad structures.
- Experience with data exchange and model translation between organizations.
