About this role
EDE Electrical/Mechanical Designer– Job Description Position Summary The EDE Electrical/Mechanical Designer is responsible for creating, modifying, and managing detailed 2D and 3D designs for AHU, MDC or any other projects . This hybrid role supports engineering, manufacturing, and production teams by developing accurate models, construction drawings, fabrication packages, bills of materials (BOMs), and technical documentation. The position bridges electrical and mechanical design disciplines to ensure products meet performance, quality, manufacturability, safety, and regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Drafting Develop and revise 2D drawings, 3D models, assemblies, layouts, and fabrication drawings using CAD software such as Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Creo, SolidWorks, or similar platforms. Create electrical and mechanical designs from engineering concepts, sketches, specifications, customer requirements, and production standards. Develop construction, manufacturing, and fabrication drawing packages including dimensions, tolerances, weld symbols, machining notes, and assembly details. Prepare detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and ensure accuracy of associated documentation. Interpret and prepare electrical one-line diagrams, wiring schematics, equipment layouts, and control panel designs. Create conceptual sketches and preliminary designs to support project development and customer presentations. Engineering Support Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, production, and document control teams to ensure design intent is fully captured and implemented. Evaluate designs for manufacturability, constructability, serviceability, and cost effectiveness. Conduct basic design calculations and design reviews to verify functionality, dimensions, clearances, and tolerances. Support prototype development, testing activities, and design verification efforts. Identify design concerns and recommend practical engineering solutions. Production & Change Management Respond to manufacturing and shop-floor issues related to drawings, BOMs, specifications, routings, and design intent. Coordinate drawing revisions and engineering changes through established document control and change management processes. Ensure released documentation accurately reflects approved production configurations. Continuously support improvement opportunities identified through production feedback. Compliance & Quality Ensure all drawings and models comply with company standards, drafting practices, customer requirements, and applicable codes and regulations. Maintain revision control and documentation accuracy throughout project lifecycles. Apply knowledge of electrical standards and industry requirements including NEC, CEC, UL, and NFPA where applicable. Ensure designs meet quality, safety, and performance objectives.
Required Qualifications
Electrical Engineering Technologist diploma, Mechanical Engineering Technology diploma, Design & Drafting Technology diploma, Electrical Trade Certificate, or equivalent combination of education and experience. 3-5 years of experience supporting electrical and/or mechanical products and assemblies in a manufacturing environment. Experience with 3D CAD modeling and drafting software such as Inventor, AutoCAD, Creo, SolidWorks, or similar. Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, electrical schematics, one-line diagrams, and technical documentation. Understanding of manufacturing processes, fabrication methods, materials, and assembly practices. Knowledge of dimensioning, tolerancing, and drafting standards (ASME Y14 and GD&T principles). Familiarity with applicable electrical standards and codes including NEC/CEC, UL, and NFPA. Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines. Ability to work independently while
