Job Description
About the Role Our client is seeking a creative and detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for advanced prototyping. This is a **fully remote** position, allowing you to contribute your skills and creativity from anywhere within **Kenya**. You will be instrumental in the rapid development and iteration of prototypes for new and existing products. This role requires a strong understanding of mechanical design principles, familiarity with a wide range of manufacturing techniques (especially additive manufacturing and CNC), and the ability to quickly translate concepts into functional prototypes. You will work closely with R&D, design, and testing teams to bring innovative ideas to life quickly and efficiently. As a key member of the prototyping team, you will play a vital role in accelerating the product development cycle. This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on engineer eager to work with cutting-edge technologies. Key Responsibilities
- Design and fabricate functional prototypes using CAD software and various manufacturing methods.
- Utilize advanced prototyping techniques, including 3D printing (SLA, FDM, SLS), CNC machining, and laser cutting.
- Collaborate with R&D and design teams to understand prototype requirements and specifications.
- Iterate on designs based on feedback from testing and internal reviews.
- Select appropriate materials for prototypes based on functional requirements and desired properties.
- Assemble and test prototypes, documenting performance and identifying areas for improvement.
- Develop and refine CAD models and technical drawings for prototype fabrication.
- Troubleshoot issues encountered during prototype build and testing phases.
- Research and evaluate new prototyping technologies and materials.
- Assist in the transfer of proven designs from prototype to production stages.
- Maintain organized records of all prototype designs, builds, and test results.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- 2-4 years of experience in mechanical design, with a strong emphasis on prototyping and rapid iteration.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD).
- Hands-on experience with 3D printing technologies and post-processing techniques.
- Familiarity with CNC machining operations and setup.
- Understanding of material properties relevant to prototyping applications.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and a creative mindset.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, suitable for a remote team.
- Ability to work independently and manage time effectively.
- A portfolio showcasing prototyping projects is highly desirable.
- Must be eligible to work remotely within **Kenya**.
