Job Description

GBRAKES | GIOCAR AMERICA INC

R&D CAD and Motorcycle Engineering Technician

Turn real motorcycles into better parts

The opportunity

If you can move confidently between a CAD model, a set of calipers, and a motorcycle on a lift, this role is built for you. GBrakes is looking for a hands-on technical problem solver to support product research, specification development, reverse engineering, warranty analysis, and customer technical needs. You will help turn real-world fitment questions into accurate drawings, dependable specifications, and brake products riders can trust.

What you will do

· Design and document. Create, revise, and maintain accurate 2D drawings and 3D CAD models for motorcycle brake components, fixtures, prototypes, labels, and supporting technical materials.

· Measure and reverse engineer. Inspect customer-supplied parts and brake lines, capture dimensions and specifications, and produce clear documentation for replication or product development.

· Work directly with motorcycles. Assist with motorcycle disassembly, component inspection, installation, fitment checks, troubleshooting, and reassembly for research and development projects.

· Build reliable specifications. Research motorcycle applications, verify custom line sheets, confirm fitment data, and maintain organized engineering records.

· Investigate product issues. Inspect warranty returns, document findings, identify likely failure modes, and communicate conclusions to customer service and the R&D team.

· Support customers and teammates. Respond professionally to technical emails and calls, prepare technical sheets, and assist warehouse, sales, and media teams with product information and special projects.

· Prototype and improve. Support test fitting, basic fabrication, iterative design changes, and practical improvements to products and internal processes.

The must haves

· CAD experience is required. You must be able to create and modify production-ready 2D drawings and 3D models in a professional CAD platform.

· Mechanical engineering skills are required. You must understand mechanical design, dimensions and tolerances, materials, hardware, and how components interact in a real assembly.

· Hands-on motorcycle experience is required. You must be comfortable identifying major motorcycle systems and safely removing, inspecting, installing, and reassembling components.

· Strong measurement skills using tools such as calipers, micrometers, gauges, and other inspection equipment.

· Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, technical manuals, and fitment information.

· Clear written and verbal communication, sound judgment, careful documentation, and the ability to manage several active tasks without losing the details.

What will make you stand out

· Formal education or technical training in mechanical engineering, mechanical design, drafting, manufacturing, automotive or motorcycle technology, or a closely related field.

· Experience with brake systems, hydraulic lines, machining, fabrication, prototyping, product testing, or quality inspection.

· A rider's curiosity: you enjoy finding out why something fits, fails, vibrates, wears, or performs the way it does.

What success looks like

Your drawings are accurate. Your measurements can be trusted. Your notes allow someone else to repeat the work. You are equally comfortable asking a smart question, digging into a technical problem, and getting your hands dirty to prove the answer.

Ready to apply

Send your resume and a short note describing your CAD background, mechanical experience, and motorcycle experience. A portfolio or examples of drawings, models, fabrication, repair, or build work are strongly encouraged.
