CAD Designer; Part-Time, Remote

The CAD Designer (Part-Time, Remote) supports the Aspen Manufacturing engineering team with CAD design, documentation, and bill of materials (BOM) work for residential and commercial HVAC products. This position reports to the Sr. Director of Engineering. Working directly with design engineers, this role produces and revises 3D models and production drawings, creates and maintains bills of material, and develops the written documentation that supports manufacturing — including work instructions, assembly documentation, and product literature.

This is a part-time position performed fully remotely, with scheduling flexibility within standard U.S. business hours.

• Model and detail sheet metal, tube, and coil components and assemblies for HVAC products using Solid Works; create and revise production drawings and documentation
• Incorporate redlines, markups, and engineering changes into existing models and drawings, maintaining accuracy and adherence to department standards
• Create and maintain accurate bills of material (BOMs) in the ERP environment for assigned components and assemblies
• Prepare engineering change documentation and supporting files for assigned changes
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including work instructions, assembly documentation, installation and service literature, and product specification sheets
• Produce wiring diagrams, wire kit documentation, and configuration-driven assembly documentation as assigned
• Partner with design engineers to translate design intent into released documentation, working independently against defined scope and deadlines
• Apply department drawing standards, part numbering conventions, GD&T practices, and revision control procedures consistently across assigned work
• Communicate progress, questions, and completion status to the engineering team on a regular cadence
• Maintain working familiarity with applicable AHRI, UL, ASHRAE, and DOE standards as they affect drawing content and documentation
• Associate's degree in drafting and design, computer-aided design, engineering technology, or a related technical field; or an equivalent combination of technical coursework and directly relevant design experience
• Two years or more of CAD design experience in a manufacturing environment
• Proficiency in parametric 3D CAD modeling and detailed engineering drawing creation;
  Solid Works strongly preferred. Demonstrated proficiency in Autodesk (Inventor, AutoCAD) or NX, with the ability to transition to Solid Works, will be considered
• Experience creating and maintaining bills of material, preferably within an ERP environment
• Demonstrated technical writing ability, including work instructions, assembly documentation, or product literature
• Working knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, tube and coil manufacturing, GD&T, and drawing standards
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage assigned deliverables to deadline with limited supervision
• Reliable high-speed internet connection and a dedicated work space suitable for remote work
• Must reside in and be authorized to work in the United States
• 10% domestic travel, as needed

• HVAC product experience in a manufacturing or product development environment
• ERP system experience (Infor Syteline, JD Edwards, SAP, or similar) for BOM management
• Experience with configuration-driven electrical documentation and wire kit development
• Prior remote or distributed team experience
• Certification or formal coursework in GD&T (ASME Y14.5)
• Prior experience in residential or light commercial HVAC equipment manufacturing
• Self-directed, with the discipline to manage assigned work and deadlines without daily oversight
• Strong attention to detail and a demonstrated commitment to documentation and data…
