Key Responsibilities
Product Development: Create detailed 3D models and 2D technical drawings for new products and hardware components using CAD software.
Prototyping & Testing: Build physical prototypes (via 3D printing, CNC, etc.) and conduct rigorous testing to validate mechanical integrity, fit, and finish.
DFM/DFA: Apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly principles to ensure products can be produced efficiently at scale with minimal waste.
Material Selection: Evaluate and select appropriate materials based on weight, strength, cost, and environmental sustainability requirements.
Iterative Design: Analyze test data and user feedback to iterate on designs, solving complex mechanical or aesthetic challenges.
Vendor Coordination: Collaborate with manufacturing partners to oversee tooling, molding, and production ramp-up.
