Offroad Motorsports Chassis Designer

About Velocity Sheet Metal

Velocity Sheet Metal is a commercial sheet metal fabrication company based in Selma, Texas. Beyond our core HVAC fabrication operations, we are active in the offroad motorsports space — including BITD desert racing — and are building out our in-house fabrication and design capabilities for competition vehicles. This is a niche role for someone who lives and breathes offroad builds.

Position Overview

We are looking for a part-time, remote Chassis and Wire Harness Designer with hands-on experience using Bend-Tech software. This role supports the design and documentation of offroad motorsports chassis structures and electrical wire harness layouts. You will work directly with our build team to produce accurate tube geometry models, joint designs, and harness routing plans that translate directly to real fabrication.

This is a flexible, part-time remote engagement suited for someone with deep motorsports fabrication knowledge who wants consistent project-based work with a serious team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and model offroad chassis structures using Bend-Tech Pro or Bend-Tech Dragon

  • Produce accurate tube bending reports, notch templates, and cut lists from chassis models

  • Design wire harness layouts including routing, connector selection, and circuit documentation

  • Collaborate with the fabrication team on build tolerances, mounting points, and structural requirements

  • Develop documentation packages for chassis and harness builds (drawings, BOMs, routing diagrams)

  • Iterate on designs based on real-world build feedback and field testing results

  • Support integration of chassis geometry with suspension, drivetrain, and safety cage components

Required Qualifications

  • Demonstrated proficiency with Bend-Tech software (Pro, Dragon, or equivalent) and/or other chassis-specific CAD/CAM tools such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, OnShape, or similar parametric modeling platforms

  • Hands-on experience designing chassis or roll cage structures for offroad or motorsports applications

  • Working knowledge of wire harness design principles — routing, shielding, connector types, circuit protection

  • Strong understanding of tube steel fabrication: bending, notching, welding prep, and joint geometry

  • Ability to produce fabrication-ready outputs: tube bending reports, notch templates, cut lists, and assembly drawings regardless of software used

  • Ability to work independently in a remote environment and communicate clearly with a build team

  • Passion for offroad motorsports — you understand what these vehicles go through

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with desert racing, rock crawling, or similar high-performance offroad disciplines

  • Background with Can-Am, UTV, or custom trophy truck/buggy chassis design

  • Familiarity with SxS or short-course race vehicle electrical systems

  • Proficiency in one or more CAD/CAM tools used in chassis design and fabrication — including but not limited to Fusion 360, SolidWorks, OnShape, or comparable parametric modeling software

  • BITD, SCORE, or sanctioned race series experience — competitor or crew

What We Offer

  • Flexible part-time, remote work arrangement

  • Competitive compensation based on experience and project scope

  • Work with a team that is serious about competition and quality builds

  • Potential for expanded scope and hours as programs grow
