About the project
We are looking for an experienced mechanical design engineer with CNC machining knowledge to turn hand-drawn sketches, photos and caliper measurements into a production-ready 3D CAD model and manufacturing drawings for a custom one-piece, heavily skeletonized aluminum stock (aftermarket furniture, tight drop-in fit).
The project owner is not an engineer, so the sketches are rough. We need someone who can interpret them, ask smart questions, and deliver a clean, machinable design.
What you will do
Build a full 3D CAD model from supplied sketches, photos, measurements and reference drawings
Merge the original two-piece layout (main body plus front hand guard) into a single-piece stock
Design M-LOK cutouts and skeletonized pockets for weight reduction
Design internal mounting with pass-through bolt holes to a mini scout mount on the barrel
Design the rear interface for an EBR CQB Mod-1 style buttstock, with unthreaded pass-through holes and partial counterbores
Optimize the design for 5-axis CNC machining (tool access, fixturing, wall thickness, internal radii)
Deliver CAD files and 2D drawings; optionally, 5-axis CNC programming and machining of a prototype
