CAD Designer

Air Innovations is a world leader in designing and building environmental process control systems for applications that can’t be addressed with standard HVAC equipment. We customize packaged solutions for temperature, humidity, filtration, pressurization, and with direct-expansion, chilled-water, or thermoelectric capabilities. Many of Air Innovations customers fall into two categories: businesses integrating our solution into their OEM equipment (https://wineguardian.com/) or businesses requiring a complete HVAC solution (https://airinnovations.com/). We can meet almost any need in environmental control across almost any industry with major projects in Aerospace where we have designed and manufactured Environmental control units (ECU) for spacecraft before they launch, Military where we have designed and manufactured ECU’s for a variety technically challenging projects, Semiconductor where we have designed and manufactured ECU’s for very precise temperature and humidity control, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences, and Clean Rooms.

Job Summary:

New product development:

This person will be working on the Advanced air side of our business where they will convert an engineering concept, model it into a 3-D design and create 2D drawings from it for manufacturing purposes. Generate all design documentation that defines and supports how the prototype and final product are to be built. 

Sustaining Engineering:

Support all required aspects of existing product enhancement, from improving build process efficiency, cost reduction alternatives, and reliability improvements. They will also work with Sales support tasks from a technical design drawings standpoint.

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities: (Additional duties may be assigned)

• Create 3D model and convert it into 2D designs which could used for manufacturing, manuals, schematics, P&ID, “Point to Point†wiring charts, bills of materials, design assumptions, etc.
• Prepare bill of materials and input information into the ERP system.
• Collaborate with manufacturing to revise design of products and parts used in the building of these products so as to improve cycle time and product cost.
• Meet with vendors to discuss improvements and updates to their product lines for the purpose of keeping up to date with new technology.
