Job Description
A remote Mechanical Designer job is currently available through Belcan supporting an existing full vehicle design undergoing refinement and production-focused updates. To be considered for this role, you will bring strong SolidWorks experience and a background in mechanical design across fabrication methods such as machined parts, sheet metal, and composites. Experience supporting aerospace or UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) platforms is strongly desired. In this role, you will support design updates for DFM, weight reduction, and overall product improvement.
Job Duties:
You will support detailed mechanical design updates and improvements across an existing vehicle system, focusing on manufacturability, performance, and integration.
Support design updates for DFM, weight reduction, and overall product improvement
Modify and develop components in SolidWorks (machined parts, sheet metal, plastics, and composites)
Perform GD&T analysis and support tolerance stack-ups for critical interfaces
Conduct galvanic corrosion assessments and material compatibility evaluations
Update and release drawings, ensuring production-ready documentation
Support composites design, including jigs, fixtures, and molds where applicable
Required:
Five or more years of mechanical design experience using SolidWorks
Strong experience working with at least some of the following: machined parts, sheet metal, or plastic components
Experience updating existing designs (not just clean-sheet design work)
Working knowledge of GD&T and basic tolerance analysis
Exposure to aerospace, aviation, or UAS systems is preferred, but not required
Ability to take partial requirements and execute detailed design tasks independently
Preferred:
Experience with aerospace, UAV/UAS, or similar vehicle systems
Experience with full vehicle assemblies (airframe, structural integration, etc.)
Background in composites design, including tooling (jigs, fixtures, molds)
Experience supporting DFM, cost reduction, or weight optimization initiatives
Familiarity with corrosion considerations, especially galvanic interactions
Exposure to SolidWorks Electrical routing in assemblies
