Role Overview

We're looking for a CAD Designer with 3–4 years of hands-on mechanical design experience to join our engineering team. You'll work across the full spectrum of drone hardware design — from airframes and core components to protective enclosures — and collaborate closely with our electronics, manufacturing, and field teams to take designs from concept to flight-ready hardware.

Key Responsibilities

Design and develop drone airframes and structural components, balancing weight, strength, and aerodynamic performance

Design core drone components — arms, frames, mounts, landing gear, propulsion mounts, and other structural/mechanical parts

Design enclosures for electronic components, batteries, payloads, and other onboard systems, factoring in thermal management, weatherproofing, vibration isolation, and ease of access

Create detailed 3D models, assemblies,



and 2D manufacturing drawings with proper GD&T;

Select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes (CNC machining, 3D printing, sheet metal, composites) based on application requirements

Run basic design validation (fit checks, tolerance stacking, load/stress considerations) and iterate based on test feedback

Support prototype builds and hands-on assembly of drone units and sub-assemblies

Work closely with electronics, manufacturing, and field testing teams to resolve design-integration issues

Maintain organized CAD libraries, revision control, and design documentation

Support BOM creation and coordinate with vendors/fabricators for part sourcing and production

Required Skills & Experience

3–4 years of experience in mechanical/product design, ideally in drones, aerospace, robotics, or a related hardware field

Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, CATIA, or similar)

Solid understanding of DFM (Design
