As a Senior NX Application Engineer at Impulse Space, you will own the administration and optimization of our Siemens NX and Teamcenter ecosystem. In this role, you will be the primary technical expert responsible for the health of our CAD environment. You won't just be managing software; you will be building the infrastructure that allows our propulsion, structures, and avionics teams to collaborate seamlessly. From architecting standard part libraries to troubleshooting complex assembly issues, your work will directly impact the speed at which we can design and fly.
Responsibilities
- CAD Administration: Manage and optimize Siemens NX configurations, including site defaults, customer defaults, and environment variables to ensure peak performance across the engineering team.
- PLM Integration: Administer and support the NX-to-Teamcenter integration, ensuring seamless data flow, revision control, and workspace management.
- Part Library Management: Design, build, and maintain comprehensive NX Reuse Libraries and standard part catalogs (fasteners, fittings, electronic components) to drive design standardization and speed.
- End-User Support: Serve as the "tier 3" technical expert for the engineering team, resolving complex NX/Teamcenter issues, modeling bottlenecks, and drafting standard operating procedures (SOPs).
- Workflow Optimization: Develop and implement best practices for large assembly management, synchronous modeling, and model-based definition (MBD) to improve design efficiency.
- Upgrades & Testing: Lead the testing and deployment of NX and Teamcenter patches and version upgrades, ensuring zero downtime for the production design environment.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of experience in a CAD/PLM administration role, specifically focused on Siemens NX.
Preferred Skills and Experience
- Demonstrated professional knowledge of Teamcenter (Active Workspace and Rich Client) and its integration with NX.
- Demonstrated experience setting up and managing CAD Part Libraries and standard catalogs in a professional aerospace or automotive environment.
- Experience with NX Open, C++, or Python for automating repetitive CAD tasks.
- Background in Aerospace & Defense manufacturing, with a strong understanding of how CAD data flows into downstream manufacturing and assembly processes.
- Familiarity with "Model-Based Enterprise" (MBE) initiatives and Digital Twin concepts.
- Strong interpersonal skills with a "customer-service" mindset toward supporting a diverse team of engineers.
- Ability to thrive in a rapid-prototype environment where requirements evolve quickly.
