Job Summary
Mechanical CAD Designer (PTC Creo Expert)
Help build the next generation of a world-class scientific facility
Berkeley CA (on-site)
12-month contract
$73/hr
Why This Role
Most CAD jobs have you designing brackets. This one has you designing hardware for a cutting-edge research facility that will produce X-ray light up to 1000 times brighter than what exists today.
Youll work side by side with engineers and scientists turning bold ideas into real buildable equipment. If you love complex assemblies and take pride in a perfect drawing package this is your kind of challenge.
What Youll Do
Mechanical CAD Design
5 years of hands-on PTC Creo Parametric (Pro/E Wildfire) experience
Advanced modeling skills: top-down design patterns sweeps simplified reps parent-child relationships
Drawing package expertise including GD&T assembly drawings and BOMs
Solid mechanical engineering sense balancing cost schedule and materials
Clear communication and strong documentation habits
Bachelors in mechanical design engineering technology or related field or equivalent experience
Bonus Points

What Youll Do
Mechanical CAD Design
- Create and maintain detailed 3D part and assembly models in PTC Creo Parametric for apparatus equipment assemblies facilities utilities and systems
- Interpret engineering concepts and layouts then develop evaluate and refine design concepts with the engineering team
- Translate functional requirements into designs that balance form function schedule cost and material constraints
- Build and manage complex assemblies using parent-child relationships top-down design patterns sweeps and trajectories and simplified representations
- Revise designs based on engineering feedback design reviews and approved engineering changes
- Prepare complete manufacturing-ready drawing packages: detailed fabrication drawings multi-sheet assembly drawings and bills of materials
- Apply GD&T and project drafting standards to every drawing
- Clearly communicate design intent with enough detail to support fabrication assembly inspection and installation
- Produce interface and integration models or drawings showing how components fit within larger systems
- Work closely with mechanical engineers scientists other engineering disciplines and project managers to define requirements and solve technical problems
- Evaluate design alternatives and make sure designs integrate smoothly with surrounding assemblies and interfaces
- Participate in design coordination meetings and design reviews
- Flag unresolved technical issues early and keep work on track with schedules and priorities
- Follow industry standards engineering best practices and internal quality requirements
- Keep models drawings design files and libraries organized and revision-controlled in Windchill (or similar PLM system)
- Maintain accurate documentation suited to each assignment
