CAD Design Engineer (m/f/d) – Short-Term Remote Project (Retrofit: Belt Drive to Direct Drive) Ended

About the job

We are looking for an experienced CAD Design Engineer (m/f/d) to support a small but technically interesting retrofit project, starting immediately.

Project Scope:
The goal of this project is to redesign an existing machine by converting the current belt drive system into a direct drive solution using a different gearbox. The gearbox and motor have already been selected and defined.

The work will be based on provided 3D scan data of the existing machine, ensuring accurate integration of the new drive concept into the current structure and installation space.

Project Details:

Start: Immediately

Duration: Approx. 20–25 hours

Location: 100% Remote

Basis: Existing 3D scan data + defined motor and gearbox

Deliverables: CAD design for the mechanical integration and required modifications

Key Tasks:

Integrate the defined motor and gearbox into the existing machine layout

Replace the belt drive concept with a direct drive arrangement

Design mounting interfaces, brackets, and required mechanical adaptations

Ensure feasibility for manufacturing and assembly

Requirements:

Strong experience in mechanical CAD design (machine retrofit / redesign)

Confident handling of 3D models and ideally 3D scan data

Good understanding of drive systems (belt drives, direct drives, gearboxes)

Independent, structured working style

Clear and reliable communication in a remote collaboration

This project is also intended to build a long-term collabo... read more
