Job summary

Johnson Controls, Inc. in Canada is seeking a Mechanical Drafter – Sealing & Design to support Equipment Design Engineering by creating accurate, manufacturing-ready drawings focused on sealing systems across equipment platforms.

You will use Autodesk Inventor and PTC Creo to develop 2D and 3D drawings, ensuring manufacturability with proper tolerances, sections, notes, and assembly requirements for production.

Qualifications

• Diploma, certificate, or equivalent technical education in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Design, Drafting, CAD, or a related discipline.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Autodesk Inventor and PTC Creo in a production or equipment-design environment.
• Strong experience creating detailed mechanical fabrication and assembly drawings.
• Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies, sheet metal, fabricated components, equipment structures, and manufacturing processes.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, dimensional tolerancing, drawing standards, BOM structures, and engineering change/revision practices.
• Demonstrated understanding of DFX, Design for Manufacturing, and Design for Assembly as they apply to equipment design.
• Experience working directly with engineering, manufacturing, and production teams.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify drawing inconsistencies, missing information, conflicting requirements, and manufacturability concerns.

Responsibilities

• Create and maintain detailed 2D manufacturing drawings and 3D models using Autodesk Inventor and PTC Creo.
• Develop production-ready drawings with accurate dimensions, tolerances, sections, detail views, notes, material callouts, and assembly requirements.
• Translate engineering intent into clear documentation that gives Manufacturing the information needed to build equipment consistently.
• Review drawings for completeness, accuracy, manufacturability, and consistency before release.
• Support drawing revisions and updates resulting from design changes, manufacturing feedback, quality issues, and continuous improvement activities.
• Work with mechanical designers and engineers to define sealing requirements for caulking/sealants, foam tape, butyl tape, gaskets, and related sealing interfaces.
• Clearly define sealing locations, material requirements, application methods, overlaps, transitions, joints, and critical sealing details in engineering drawings.
• Develop detailed sections and views that reduce ambiguity during manufacturing and assembly.
• Support the creation of standard sealing details and reusable drawing practices across product families.
• Apply Design for Excellence principles to improve manufacturability, assembly, quality, cost, and repeatability.
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering, Production, Quality, and EDE teams to ensure drawing requirements are practical and executable on the shop floor.
• Identify opportunities to simplify designs, reduce variation, and improve standardization across equipment platforms.
• Support continuous improvement efforts focused on drawing quality, repeatability, and reduction of rework or production issues.
