Job description

We are looking for an experienced Design Engineer to support mechanical design engineering projects and work closely with design, product engineering, manufacturing, and cross-functional teams. The role involves designing and developing sheet metal components, solid models, and casting parts, preparing detailed engineering drawings, and applying Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to deliver cost-effective and production-ready designs. The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience with Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Vault, and mechanical product design, along with knowledge of GD&T, BOMs, ECNs, manufacturing processes, and HVAC/refrigeration systems.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Independently support mechanical design engineering projects from concept through design release.
• Collaborate with design and product engineering teams for successful project execution.
• Design and develop mechanical components, particularly:
• Sheet metal parts
• Solid models
• Casting components
• Prepare layouts, conceptual designs, sketches, 3D models, and detailed engineering drawings.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize designs for efficient and cost-effective manufacturing.
• Create, maintain, and update Bill of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
• Manage Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) and support drawing/document release activities.
• Provide design support for existing production parts and products.
• Interpret engineering specifications, drawings, sketches, procedures, and verbal/written instructions.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable engineering and drafting standards.
• Coordinate effectively with cross-functional teams, manufacturing teams, and project stakeholders.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives related to product quality, cost, and manufacturability.
• Apply engineering best practices to achieve project objectives related to quality, delivery, and cost.
• Work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining accuracy and engineering quality.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Autodesk Inventor.
• Experience with Autodesk Vault for engineering data/document management.
• Knowledge of Fourth Shift is preferred.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles.
• Good knowledge of engineering materials and manufacturing processes.
• Hands-on experience in designing sheet metal and casting components.
• Knowledge of DFM/DFA methodologies.
• Good understanding of GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5M.
• Experience in BOM creation, maintenance, and management.
• Experience with ECN/ECO workflows and engineering drawing release.
• Understanding of HVAC and refrigeration systems/processes.
• Knowledge of refrigeration subsystems and associated components is preferred.
• Ability to develop accurate engineering drawings and 3D models.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and attention-to-detail skills.

Preferred / Desired Skills

• Experience working on HVAC, refrigeration, or climate-control products.
• Exposure to Life Science Solutions or related refrigeration applications.
