Mechanical 3D Modeling Designer

Position Summary & Objective

The Mechanical 3D Modeling Designer is responsible for developing detailed mechanical designs for custom HVAC equipment using Autodesk Inventor. This role creates accurate, production-ready 3D models and drawings that translate engineering requirements into manufacturable designs.

Responsibilities

• Develop detailed 3D models and mechanical designs for custom HVAC equipment using Autodesk Inventor
• Design ductwork systems based on airflow requirements and project specifications
• Select and integrate HVAC components (e.g., compressors, coils, fans) into system designs
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and production teams to resolve design challenges
• Review and incorporate design revisions and redlines
• Create and maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) for each project
• Produce detailed drawings for ductwork, accessories, and system components
• Utilize technical references, standards, and design guidelines during development
• Maintain organized electronic drawing files using Vault or similar systems
• Prepare design variations and custom configurations based on project needs
• Communicate design concepts clearly to internal teams, customers, and fabrication partners

Qualifications & Skills

• Minimum 3 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably within HVAC or a related industry
• Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor (required)
• Strong understanding of HVAC systems, components, and equipment layout
• Ability to read and interpret architectural, mechanical, and basic electrical drawings
• Familiarity with airflow calculations and ductwork design principles
• Experience with component selection (compressors, coils, fans) preferred
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)
• Strong problem-solving, organizational, and attention to detail skills
• Effective communication and collaboration skills

Physical Requirements & Work Environment

• Primarily office-based with regular interaction within a manufacturing and production environment
• Prolonged periods of computer use, including detailed design work in CAD systems
• Able to sit for extended periods and maintain focus on technical tasks
• Occasional standing, walking, and access to the production floor to review equipment and designs
• May be required to lift or move materials and components up to 25 lbs on an occasional basis
• Must be able to visually review detailed drawings and physical components for accuracy
