• Create Class-A production-ready 3D CAD surfaces and solid bodies using SolidWorks across multiple projects and product categories.
• Perform in-depth on the field user research and user experience.
• Utilize good aesthetic and mechanical sensibilities to conceive elegant solutions to complex geometric, ergonomic and mechanical challenges driven by gathered user research and user experience.
• Communicate design ideas effectively through sketches, 3D renderings and presentations.
• Oversee and execute the development and manufacturing of physical prototypes for testing.
• Collaborate with suppliers and engineers to evaluate product prototypes in order to determine production feasibility and costs.
• Plan and execute mechanical designs using CAD (SolidWorks, a must).
• Perform computer simulations and experiments to virtually test and refine the designs.
• Iterate and refine designs based on test feedback, ensuring products meet safety and performance standards.
• Prepare detailed tech packs and manufacturing documentation that effectively communicate designs and how to build products to manufacturers.
• Prepare technical reports, design specifications documents, and operational manuals.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, marketing managers and software development team to integrate design concepts seamlessly into the product development process.
• Market Research and Trend Analysis - Stay informed on industry trends, materials and manufacturing processes related to orthotic & prosthetic, and exoskeleton devices.
