CAD Designer for Waterproof Foil-Assist Battery and ESC Housing Ended
About the job
I need an experienced mechanical CAD designer to turn my sketches models into a properly engineered, manufacturable foil-assist housing.
2 main parts required for design secondary parts like O rings also required
The device is similar in general function to a Foil Drive unit, but it uses a rear-removable electronics housing rather than a removable front nose cone. The main battery housing mounts beneath the foil mast, while the ESC and electronics are contained in a compact removable aluminium rear section.
Key requirements:
Maximum overall dimensions: 650 × 125 × 54 mm
Battery compartment to accept a finished 500 × 78 × 46 mm battery
Battery must slide in from the rear
Rear electronics housing approximately 80 mm long
ESC dimensions: 100 × 50 × 30 mm
The ESC’s 100 × 50 mm face must contact the aluminium housing through thermal paste or a thermal pad
Electronics housing intended for 3D-printed aluminium or CNC-machined aluminium
Nominal aluminium wall thickness: 1.5–2 mm, with additional thickness beneath the ESC where required
Electronics will be waterproofed by potting
Waterproof O-ring seal between the battery housing and removable electronics housing
Space between compartments for the internal high-current battery connector
Rear interface for an AMASS MR60 connector in a removable, bolted, O-ring-sealed cartridge
Rear mounting point for an M12 waterproof cable gland
Mast mounting area approximately 50 mm forward of the rear battery opening

Rear mounting point for an M12 waterproof cable gland
Mast mounting area approximately 50 mm forward of the rear battery opening
Compatible mounting patterns:
120 × 90 mm
160 × 90 mm
Mounting holes should allow M6, M7 or preferably M8 through-bolts where structurally practical
External shape should be streamlined for low hydrodynamic drag
Housing must account for sealing compression, fastener access, cable routing, potting volume, thermal transfer and realistic manufacturing tolerances
I will provide:
Hand-drawn concept sketches
Battery layout and dimensions
Initial design portfolio and dimensional drawings
Required deliverables:
Fully editable parametric CAD model
Preferred software: Fusion 360, SolidWorks or FreeCAD
Separate components for the main housing, electronics housing, connector cartridge and seals
O-ring gland and sealing details
Fastener and insert specifications
Design suitable for prototype production and later refinement
Experience with waterproof housings, marine products, aluminium additive manufacturing, CNC machining, O-ring design, thermal management and high-current battery systems would be strongly preferred. This is a prototype engineering job, not just cosmetic modelling. read less
