CAD Designer

Required Qualifications:

* Associate degree in an engineering discipline with two or more years of experience in drafting support for complex multi-discipline systems, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

* 5+ years of experience SolidWorks with the ability to create 3D models and engineering drawings, as well as manipulate scanned images.

* Working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T).

* Experience with weld selection, process design, and machine design.

* Experience with large-scale assemblies, machined part design, and piping design/P&ID.

* Ability to prepare engineering drawings using SolidWorks (primary software) and AutoCAD (secondary software as needed).

* Ability to interpret and convert legacy vellum engineering drawings into modern CAD models and detailed engineering drawings.

* Experience with configuration control, revision tracking, and compliance with industry drafting standards.

* Strong problem-solving skills to identify and resolve model design and interface issues with system engineers.

* Ability to produce multi-system, multi-discipline installation drawings and specifications.

* Experience preparing clear, complete, and accurate working plans and detail drawings from layouts, sketches, electronic databases, or verbal instructions.

* Ability to work within a structured drawing management process to maintain accuracy and completeness of HFIR engineering documentation.

* Must be eligible for access to export-controlled technology.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) or equivalent certification.

* Experience working within a nuclear, DOE, or highly regulated engineering environment.

* Experience supporting Design Basis Reconstitution efforts in a nuclear or industrial facility.

* Familiarity with HFIR systems, components, and technical requirements.

* Knowledge of welding processes, materials selection, and ASME pressure vessel/piping codes (e.g., ASME Section III, VIII, B31.1).

* Experience working with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems for CAD model and drawing control.

* Proficiency with advanced SolidWorks features, such as parametric modeling, large assembly management, and simulation tools.

* Experience with reverse engineering and digitizing legacy drawings into modern CAD systems.

* Familiarity with DOE design and engineering standards.
