## About the role

US defense systems run on technical data that is often decades old: scanned paper, hand-marked prints, partial models, and drawings that were never turned into 3D models. A part that exists only on an old drawing is hard to source. That slows how fast the armed forces and our prime customers can sustain and rebuild the systems that use it. Hadrian turns that data into manufacturing-ready models and drawings, so customers can keep their systems running and Hadrian can make or procure the parts. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years building production CAD models and drawings for hardware a factory made
- Expert use of one parametric 3D CAD application, with models the next person can change. NX preferred, CATIA, Creo, or SolidWorks also fit
- Experience building 3D models from complex 2D drawings with no existing model, including internal features that only show in a section view
- Reads and drafts GD&T per ASME Y14.5, weld and NDT symbols per AWS A2.4, and drawings to ASME Y14.100
- Experience releasing parts and controlling changes in a PLM system
- Asks when a drawing cannot answer a question instead of guessing
