Description

Reusable systems are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. Defining and designing that system is most efficiently done with a well understood, robust, and flexible CAD infrastructure. As the Stoke CAD Architect, it is your responsibility to design, develop, build, maintain, and improve the CAD and PLM infrastructure that allows the rest of the Stoke team to design and build rockets as efficiently as possible. In this role you will own building and honing one of the most important tools our team relies on. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly.

Qualifications 

• Exceptional understanding and experience with NX infrastructure (e.g. config files, modeling practices, reuse library, material databases)
• Exceptional understanding and experience customizing Teamcenter interface to improve a team’s workflow and execution
• Strong knowledge of BMIDE and how to use it to customize a Teamcenter implementation
• Skilled at NX modeling with both solids and surfaces
• Ability to learn, test, and implement new tools and methods for improving the CAD and PLM infrastructure

Preferred Qualifications

• Have previously architected an NX installation from the ground up
• Have written and deployed custom macros, features, or tools for use in NX
• Still working in NX at least once a week (we want our CAD Architect to be able to have the same experience in the software that the users have)

Responsibilities

• Understand how NX/Teamcenter fit into the workflow of Stoke’s rocket building process
• Review and update existing NX infrastructure (e.g. config files, reuse library, material databases) after providing recommendations on how to improve it to match Stoke’s ideal workflow
• Customize and maintain a Teamcenter interface that improves Stoke’s ability to design and produce rockets (requires use of BMIDE).
• Build, maintain, and constantly improve the reuse library of common parts at Stoke (you will do all the modeling for this to ensue you are engaged with the tools you are architecting)
• Collaborate with designers to develop and maintain custom tools, features, and tool ribbons to accelerate Stoke’s design process
• Work with IT to ensure the correct number and type of licenses are maintained
• Own all NX and Teamcenter upgrades. You will work closely with the IT team to accomplish this.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision and basic life insurance
• 401(k) match
• Paid time off
• Flexible scheduling
• Equity
