Mechanical Designer

Mechanical DesignerOur client designs and builds custom industrial and commercial HVAC equipment from the ground up — not off-the-shelf systems, but purpose-built units engineered to a customer's exact specifications. They're a stable, long-established manufacturer with a hands-on engineering team and direct access to leadership. This role sits on a 13-person engineering team building equipment that ships across the country and overseas. For a mechanical designer who wants to build real machines and see them through from model to shop floor, this is a seat with room to grow as the company scales its processes.Anticipated $65,000–$95,000 annually, based on experienceFull suite of benefits: Medical/Dental/Vision, 401(k) with employer match, PTO/HolidaysFlexible daily schedule (core hours, typically 8:00 AM–4:00 PM)OverviewBuild detailed 3D models and drawings of custom HVAC equipment using Autodesk InventorSelect and integrate mechanical components (compressors, coils, fans, motors) into finished equipment designsDesign, route, and size ductwork based on project airflow requirementsProduce and maintain accurate Bills of Materials for each buildReview and incorporate engineering redlines and design revisionsPartner directly with engineers and the production floor to resolve design and fabrication issuesMaintain organized model and drawing files in a PDM/vault-based systemPreferred Skills/Experiences3+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally in HVAC or equipment manufacturingProficiency in Autodesk Inventor (SolidWorks experience also considered)Direct experience designing or building physical HVAC or mechanical equipment, not just HVAC system layoutsAbility to read and interpret mechanical, architectural, and basic electrical drawingsFamiliarity with airflow calculations and ductwork design principlesComponent selection experience (compressors, coils, fans) preferredProficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and cross-team communication skillsKEY WORDS: mechanical designer, 3D modeling, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, CAD designer, mechanical drafter, HVAC design, ductwork design, sheet metal design, bill of materials, BOM, equipment design, product design, mechanical design engineer, component selection, airflow calculations, PDM, Vault, GD&T, industrial design, manufacturing design, custom equipment, fabrication design
