CAD Drafter

CAD Drafter

The CAD Drafter is responsible for producing, maintaining, and standardizing 2D and 3D engineering drawings in support of chiller product development (mainly air-cooled and water-cooled chillers), manufacturing, and customer approval. The role supports multiple stakeholders, including project leaders, project engineers, product development engineers, production, and supply chain teams, ensuring accurate, timely, and standardized drawings are delivered throughout the product lifecycle and factory order (FO) process. The CAD Drafter plays a key role in translating engineering intent into clear, manufacturable, and customer-ready drawings, enabling smooth coordination between engineering, projects, and the factory.

Principal Responsibilities

• Develop, update, and maintain standardized drawings for air-cooled chiller products, including: General Assembly (GA) drawings, P&ID drawings, manufacturing (2D) drawings, 3D models.
• Support product development activities, including: Creation and modification of 3D models for new and improved chiller designs, updating drawings based on design changes, engineering feedback and testing outcomes.
• Support factory orders (FOs) by preparing and revising drawings for production release.
• Manage and update drawing libraries, templates, and drawing standards in accordance with company protocols.
• Support project teams with timely delivery of accurate chiller drawings for production and customer approval.
• Assist in improving drawing standards, libraries, and standard part/model databases.
• Ensure drawings reflect manufacturing practices, tolerances, and assembly requirements.
• Participate in cross-functional design reviews and contribute to design-for-manufacturing improvements.
• Support timely responses to design changes, drawing revisions, and technical clarifications.

Knowledge, Skill and Ability Requirements

• 1–2 years of experience in CAD drafting or a related technical role. (AutoCAD, SolidWorks)
• Proficient in SolidWorks for 2D drawings and 3D modeling
• Able to read and interpret engineering, manufacturing, and assembly drawings
• Familiarity with chiller design standards and project execution workflows.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills for coordinating with international teams (DBC and DBM).
• High attention to detail, especially in dimensioning, tolerancing, and revision tracking.
• Familiar with drawing revision control and document management practices.

Education Requirements

• Knowledge of AutoCAD, particularly for 2D layouts and legacy drawings.
• Familiarity with HVAC industry standard drawings, symbols, and conventions.
• Knowledge of manufacturing drawings, shop practices, and fabrication methods
