Axient is looking for a CAD Specialist to provide technical support to the SEEK EAGLE Modeling Analysis and Tools Support (SEMATS 3) contract at Eglin AFB, FL. Conducts computer aided design (CAD) development efforts that provide three-dimensional (3-D) compatibility engineering modeling and simulation capability to check store fit on aircraft as well as supporting the Computerized Physical Fit (CPF) Team to produce 3-D solid models for the DoD. 

• Responsible for creation, modification, and manipulation of 3D models from drawings, scanned data from 3-D scanners, manufacturer’s converted CAD data and faceted body data depicting the external surfaces of the aircraft or store.
• Interfaces with customer representatives at all levels to understand CPF modeling requirements and transforms solid bodies into desired 3-D model formats and resolutions.
• Supports other engineering disciplines within the SEEK EAGLE Office to include CFD, Stress and other teams with derivatives of the CPF models for analysis purposes.
• Manually generates additional 3-D solid and surface data to approximate the highly detailed CPF CAD models when necessary for external customers.
• Assists the CFD engineers with the development of CFD surface grids.
• Performs measurements and 3-D scans of aircraft, weapons, and suspension equipment for 3-D model verification and validation as well as reverse engineering initiatives. Some travel may be necessary to capture the 3-D data needed for model creation.
• Imports and translates CAD file formats and exports 3-D models in IGES, STEP, DXF/DWG or VRML as needed.
• Applies process improvement methods, tools, and techniques to achieve higher levels of CPF system quality and productivity.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, computer science, software engineering, physics, mathematics, or other related field plus five (7) years related experience,
• Or associate degree in relevant field plus fifteen (15) years of related experience
• Five (5) years' experience using Siemens NX CAD applications with engineering drawings, blueprints, and/or actual physical items -in computer-based modeling and simulation and/or use. Specific Siemens NX experience should include:
  • NX Advanced Modeling and Design 
  • NX Parametric and Non-Parametric Modeling 
  • NX Assembly Constraints, Expressions, and Arrangements 
  • NX Reverse Engineering Tools 
  • NX Freeform & Class A Surfacing 
  • NX Shape Studio  
  • NX Assemblies and Components 
  • NX Drafting Essentials
  • NX Sketcher 
  • NX Sheet modeling
  • NX Mating Constraints
• Active Secret security clearance and US citizenship.

Other Desired Skills or Experience

• Specific experience that resonates with the job's emphasis on mechanical design associated with weapons and aircraft systems.
• Weapon Utilization of reverse engineering tools and scanners (Design X, Polyworks Inspector, etc.)
• Familiarity with aircraft, stores (weapons, fuel tanks, pods, missiles, etc.), and suspension equipment
• General machine shop and aircraft construction knowledge
• CAD software knowledge such as CATIA, Inventor, PRO-E, Solidworks
