Computer Aided Design Designer
Akkodis is seeking a CAD Designer for a 6+ months contract with a client located in Phoenix AZ. The role involves supporting the engineering team in developing and releasing detailed 2D/3D CAD models and engineering drawings.
Responsibilities
Create and maintain drawings in AutoCAD and PTC Creo
Model parts and assemblies in PTC Creo and generate associated drawing deliverables for customers
Interpret and apply engineering design intent, functional requirements, manufacturing/assembly requirements, and inspection requirements to the drawing deliverables
Apply engineering drawing practices in accordance with ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41 to ensure clarity and manufacturability with the drawing packages
Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality and supply chain teams to clarify ambiguities, implement design changes (ECOs/ECNs), update drawings and CAD models accordingly
Use PLM system (Teamcenter) to manage drawing/model revisions, release workflows, revision history, drawing numbering, part/assembly and ensure configuration control
Conduct self-checking and peer reviews of drawings/models for completeness, accuracy and standards compliance
Support change control: update drawings and CAD models in response to engineering changes
Assist with supplier documentation when required: generate drawing packages suitable for supplier manufacturing/inspection, ensure deliverables meet downstream needs
Provide timely status reporting, escalate issues or discrepancies (e.g., manufacturability, tolerance stacks, drawing clarity) and support drawing release schedules
Qualification
Required
Minimum 4 years (recommend ~5-7 year) of CAD design/drawing experience in a mechanical/manufacturing or aerospace environment
Proven proficiency in AutoCAD and PTC Creo for parts and assemblies
Demonstrated experience applying ASME drawing practices and GD&T (ASME Y14.100, ASME Y14.5 and ASME Y14.41 ) in creating engineering drawings
Hands-on experience with PLM/EDM systems for drawing/model revision control and release workflows
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerancing, assembly/interference issues, and how drawing/model output drives manufacturing/inspection
Detail-oriented, with strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple drawing deliverables simultaneously and meet deadlines
Excellent communication skills: able to interact with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain; interpret design requirements; ask clarifying questions; respond to feedback
Experience reviewing detailed mechanical and assembly drawings for quality/drawing accuracy
Experience with MBD, DFM, DFA, and other manufacturing practices such as DFMEA and PFMEA
Visio pro, Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft office - suite tool experience
Preferred
Previous aerospace industry experience (aerospace OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers) including experience with complex assemblies or mechanical assemblies
Experience with large CAD assemblies, sheet metal design, composite materials, machined parts, or high-tolerance aerospace components
Familiarity with other CAD/PLM tools beyond AutoCAD/Creo/Teamcenter (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, Windchill) and associated workflows
Exposure to design for manufacturability (DFM), design for assembly (DFA), and working knowledge of manufacturing/inspection downstream drivers
