About the Role

Noblis MSD is seeking a technically proficient designer with demonstrated CAD experience and a solid understanding of naval Hull, Mechanical, and Electrical (HM&E) systems. The individual must be capable of translating design sketches and data into accurate, standards-compliant digital models, diagrams, and drawings. The role supports the full drawing development lifecycle within a configuration-managed, government-directed engineering environment.

Responsibilities

Utilize AutoCAD to create 2D and 3D models of components, assemblies, electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, construction and complete detailed technical and system drawings, including bills of material and drawing notes, for HM&E systems encompassing fluid, mechanical, structural and power transmission subsystems.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and other stakeholders to review and refine design concepts, address design challenges, and incorporate feedback into design iterations.
Advance drawing packages through the full development lifecycle — from initial layout through peer review, comment incorporation, and finalization — ensuring readiness for formal government approval.
Interpret and incorporate Government Furnished Information (GFI) into drawing configurations, ensuring alignment with current system requirements and design intent.
Revise and update drawing configurations in response to team review feedback, updated GFI, and evolving program requirements.
Maintain strict alignment with established configuration management requirements, drawing standards, and deliverable formatting conventions throughout the development process.
Maintain parametric modeling, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and design for manufacturability standards.
Track and resolve review comments using action item tracking tools, ensuring timely closure, traceability, and deliverable accuracy across multiple concurrent work packages.
Ensure all deliverables meet schedule milestones, quality standards, and contractual requirements prior to submission.
Participate in recurring program coordination meetings, providing technical input on drawing status, design issues, and cross-functional dependencies.
Contribute to collaborative design discussions and alignment sessions on program objectives, including in-person development sessions as required.
Support hardware reviews and technical coordination activities at Naval Surface Warfare Center Philadelphia Division (NSWCPD).
Coordinate with engineering teams, technical leads, and program stakeholders to resolve design conflicts and ensure deliverable alignment with program schedules.

Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in a technical field and 3 years of experience OR Associate’s degree and 6 years OR a high school diploma/GED and a minimum of 9 years of experience in lieu of degree.
Minimum 3 years of experience in engineering drawing development, mechanical system design, plumbing system arrangement, electrical one-line diagrams, signal layout design, or technical diagram creation.
Proficiency in AutoCAD, Adobe, and Microsoft Office programs.
Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage, track, and resolve review comments across multiple concurrent deliverables under tight deadlines.
Effective written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to participate in collaborative design reviews, cross-functional team meetings, and government-facing coordination sessions.
