CAD Engineer – Aircraft Structures (eVTOL)

Bay Area, CA

Contract: 12 months

Pay Rate: $70/hour

About the Company

This organization is pioneering the future of urban air mobility through the development of all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. With a mission to enable safe, sustainable, and efficient air transportation, the team is building next-generation aircraft that redefine how people move.

About the Role

We are seeking a CAD Engineer to support the design and development of critical aircraft structures, with a focus on control surfaces that directly impact flight performance and safety.

Working closely with Mechanical Engineers, you will translate detailed 3D models into high-quality, production-ready 2D drawings. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge electric aircraft programs in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, with strong potential for growth and increased responsibility.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and release detailed 2D drawings from existing 3D CAD models and assemblies
• Collaborate with Mechanical Engineering teams on aircraft control surface structures
• Apply GD&T principles to ensure accuracy, quality, and manufacturability
• Support engineering change activity and design iterations in a dynamic environment
• Incorporate materials and manufacturing considerations into technical documentation
• Maintain configuration control and consistency across released drawings
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design and documentation processes

Minimum Qualifications

• Associate’s degree (or higher) in CAD, Mechanical Design, or related field
• Minimum 1+ year of Siemens NX experience (required)
• Experience creating mechanical part and assembly drawings
• Working knowledge of GD&T and engineering drawing standards
• Understanding of materials used in mechanical design

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting fabrication and assembly processes
• Exposure to aerospace, automotive, or other highly engineered industries
• Interest in electric propulsion or advanced air mobility systems
• Mechanical Engineering degree (helpful but not required)

Additional Information

• Strong attention to detail and ability to work in cross-functional teams is essential
• High-performing individuals may take on expanded responsibilities as the program evolves
• Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
