AutoCAD Designer

AutoCAD Designer – Elevator Component Manufacturing

Department: Engineering / Design

Role Summary:

The AutoCAD Designer is responsible for producing accurate and detailed engineering drawings for elevator components and assemblies in accordance with technical specifications, industry standards, and safety regulations. This role requires coordination with engineering, production, quality, and project teams to ensure manufacturable design outputs and timely revisions.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Drafting

* Develop detailed 2D/3D engineering drawings of elevator components including but not limited to:

 * Guide rails

 * Car frames

 * Counterweights

 * Door mechanisms

 * Pulley systems

 * Brackets and mounting assemblies

* Translate conceptual sketches, specifications, and functional requirements into precise CAD drawings.

* Ensure drawings comply with company standards, material specifications, and manufacturing tolerances.

Project Coordination

* Collaborate with design engineers to interpret technical requirements and resolve design discrepancies.

* Work with production team to ensure design feasibility and manufacturability.

* Provide revisions and updates to drawings based on engineering change requests (ECR), design reviews, and site feedback.

* Support project timelines by delivering drawings and revisions within agreed deadlines.

Documentation & Standards

* Maintain organized drawing registers, version control, and technical documentation.

* Ensure compliance with international standards (e.g., ISO, DIN) and company drafting protocols.

* Assist in creation and maintenance of standard part libraries and template drawings.

Quality Assurance

* Verify drawing accuracy through internal design reviews.

* Ensure dimensional accuracy, clarity, and completeness of drawings before release.

* Coordinate with Quality Control for addressing non-conformities related to CAD documentation.

Required Skills & Competencies

Technical Skills

* Proficient in AutoCAD (mandatory); experience in 3D CAD (e.g., Inventor, Solid Works) is an advantage.

* Solid understanding of mechanical drafting principles, engineering drawings, tolerances, and GD&T.

* Ability to interpret technical specifications, blueprints, and engineering data.

Software & Tools

* AutoCAD (Advanced)

* Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Outlook)

* Optionally: PLM/PDM systems for CAD data control

* Minimum 2–5 years of relevant AutoCAD drafting experience, preferably in:

 * Elevator component manufacturing

 * Precision mechanical components

 * Sheet metal and fabrication environments

* Experience in interpreting mechanical assemblies and manufacturing processes.

Performance Metrics

* Timeliness in delivery of accurate drawings

* Reduction in drawing revisions and errors

* Coordination effectiveness with engineering and production

* Compliance with drafting standards and quality benchmarks
