Mechanical Designer

About MacroAir

MacroAir Fans, founded by inventor Walter Boyd, pioneered the High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) ceiling fan industry after discovering how improved comfort boosts productivity. MacroAir designs aeronautical-inspired fans for industrial, commercial, and residential environments — improving comfort and air quality while reducing dependence on traditional HVAC systems.

About the job

The Role
We’re hiring a Mechanical Designer who works like a light engineer — someone who can contribute to product design, carry it through to production, and step into sustaining and new-product work when the project calls for it.

This role sits between engineering and manufacturing. You’ll support design decisions, develop production-ready models and drawings, own the documentation and change process, and take on sustaining engineering projects and hands-on support for new product development and testing. It’s a design seat with an engineering reach.

What You’ll Own

• Fully own 3D models, assemblies, and component designs (SolidWorks)
• Own and maintain production-ready drawings, BOMs, and documentation
• Take on sustaining engineering as needed — design fixes, improvements, and root-cause work on existing products
• Support new product development: build and revise concepts, prototype, and run or assist with testing
• Contribute to design improvements for manufacturability, cost, and performance
• Own engineering changes (ECR/ECO) from release through implementation
• Build assembly instructions and documentation for production
• Partner with manufacturing to resolve issues and improve designs

What Good Looks Like

• You contribute to design and engineering decisions, not just execution
• Your drawings and models are clear, accurate, and buildable
• You understand how products are manufactured, assembled, tested, and fail
• You can pick up a sustaining problem or a new-product task and move it forward without hand-holding
• You take ownership of changes and ensure they are fully implemented and communicated
• You reduce friction between engineering, documentation, and production

Requirements

• 3–6+ years in mechanical design / product development / CAD
• Strong SolidWorks proficiency
• Experience with assemblies, BOMs, and production drawings
• Experience managing or supporting ECR/ECO processes
• Ability to interpret and apply engineering intent — and extend it when the design needs it

Bonus if you have:

• GD&T experience
• Hands-on prototyping or product testing experience
• Manufacturing or new product development exposure
• ERP systems (Acumatica or similar)
• Experience with electromechanical products

Why This Role

• Real involvement in product design, sustaining engineering, and new product development
• Ownership over both design execution and documentation quality
• A clear path to grow into full design ownership and an engineering track
• High visibility in a scaling operation

Environment

• Mix of design work, testing, and production floor interaction
• Fast-paced, detail-critical
• Some overtime as needed
