Join our team turning abstract ideas into realities. Collaborate with industry experts to develop solutions to mission-critical challenges, such as NASA’s return to the moon, the DoD’s national security initiatives, international automotive manufacturers’ development of fuel-efficient and electric vehicles, and the DoE’s energy research.  We tackle challenges in emerging technologies in the aerospace and automotive industries, space exploration, and energy transformation to ensure national security. As the world’s thinkers, visionaries, and doers, we disrupt the status quo and affect real, meaningful change in how we provide solutions to our customers, operate our business, and support communities. Our Group specializes in the design, construction, and operation of unique and complex research and development facilities, including, as examples, wind tunnels (aerospace, automotive, and motorsports), rocket test stands, climatic chambers, jet engine test cells, acoustic chambers, altitude test facilities, captive trajectory systems, and nuclear facilities.  Our projects span the automotive, motorsports, defense, nuclear, and aerospace markets.  Recent clients include Audi, Boeing, BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, Honda, General Motors, NASA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, Volkswagen, confidential F1 motorsports clients, and many others in North America, Europe, and Asia. 

Join our team as an I&C Designer where you will team with highly skilled software programmers and controls engineers, working on projects from initial concepts, through full design and construction, to on-site commissioning to ensure fully operational facilities. In this role, you and an engineer will be responsible for the design of one-of-a-kind solutions using various types of control hardware and equipment and CAD and 3D modeling software.  This position will provide you with an exciting opportunity to bring unique visions to life by creating drawing packages that will be used for installation and commissioning of equipment at multiple facilities around the world.  The Power and Design section currently includes 5 talented designers working on many unique and challenging projects including quick turn-around projects ranging from a few hours to large multi-year projects with over 10,000 labor hours.

Primary Responsibilities

Leads in planning and drafting jobs and preparing drawing lists and coordinates job with engineers, detailers and checkers. Solves engineering problems and develops designs using standard engineering practices. Performs complex drafting assignments working from engineering computations, verbal instructions, or rough sketches. Performs drawing checking to confirm accuracy and acceptability guided by company and/or client drafting standards/specifications, engineering computation and sketches. Evaluates functional feasibility of design and its conference to specifications. Prepares sketches to be drawn by others, helps maintain drafting standards, and performs training of new or less experienced drafting personnel. Creates moderately complex designs with minimal engineering assistance Performs other related duties as required Some travel involved associated with potential project meetings Promote a culture of caring and safety both at and away from work *
