Your opportunity:

This Mechanical Designer uses CAD technology to translate 2D layout drawings and technical design definitions into complex 3D designs and drawings required to manufacture large commercial air conditioning equipment. This role takes direction from engineering, operations, and the design team and is responsible for executing given assignments while supporting our manufacturing and field service teams.

The Mechanical Designer plays a key role in implementing new design methods, standards, and technologies and is responsible for training and mentoring junior team members. This role engages frequently with manufacturing to solve product design problems and take feedback on potential design improvements.

 

What you’ll be doing:

• Create complex 3D sheet metal piece part and assembly designs and drawings for custom-applied HVAC products and unique service requests using computer-aided design (CAD) technology.
• Manage 2D and 3D CAD assets using product lifecycle management (PLM) software
• Prepare bills-of-material on new and changed designs and service requests.
• Interpret technical documentation including product specifications, component selection data, and performance data summary sheets, exercising independent judgment to solve unique design problems.
• Utilize CAD, PLM, and EPR software and utilities to perform quality checks on own work products. May be responsible for checking the work of others.
• Interpret refrigeration and water piping schematics to create complex 3D piping designs and drawings for commercial water and refrigeration systems.
• Provide technical direction to shop floor personnel to resolve unit construction issues as they arise. Collaborate with the design and engineering teams to identify and implement corrective action.
• Identify continuous improvement opportunities and lead initiatives to develop and enhance product design and drawing best practices.
• Provide support to application and sales staff through the creation of complex 2D submittal drawings and technical direction on general product construction inquiries.
• Participate in and/or lead value engineering projects to continually improve product reliability, cost efficiency, and manufacturability of product designs.
• Provide comprehensive training and mentorship over design team and projects.
• Assist field service team in developing solutions to field problems and retrofits. May travel to the job site if needed to evaluate construction-related problems and develop solutions.
• May use advanced CAD features and functions such as iLogic to create and maintain proprietary automated 3D CAD tools.

  

What you should have:

• Work requires a professional level of knowledge in a specialized field, which is equivalent to that which would be acquired by completing a regular two-year mechanical design or similar technical program.
• Associate of Science degree in Mechanical Design, Engineering Technology, or a related field is strongly preferred
• Ideally, 5+ years of experience in CAD design, including sheet metal part design, sub-assemblies, and final assemblies
• Ability to think critically and develop solutions to complex design problems
• Strong mechanical aptitude with the ability to visualize functional design solutions
• Ability to communicate with a wide variety of people
• Hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment is helpful
• Proficient in sheet metal part design or sheet metal fabrication highly desired
• Knowledge of refrigeration, water, or process piping design experience a bonus
• Autodesk Inventor experience strongly preferred
• Familiarity with Autodesk coding and automation such as iLogic a plus
• 4-7+ years of work experience is required.
