Company: AXLDRONE Technologies
Location: Kannambra, Palakkad, Kerala
Department: Engineering / Product Development
Experience: 3–4 years
Employment Type: Full-time
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 for Manufacturability) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles
Experience designing enclosures with attention to thermal, EMI/weather sealing, and serviceability considerations
Working knowledge of materials commonly used in UAV design (composites, aluminum, engineering plastics)
Comfortable with hands-on prototype assembly and troubleshooting fit/build issues
Ability to produce clear, manufacturing-ready drawings and documentation
Good communication skills to work cross-functionally with electronics and production teams
