R&D Associate

Concept to Prototype Execution

- Convert early- stage ideas into functional working prototypes.
- Translate mechanical sketches and conceptual ideas into detailed 3D models (Rhinoceros / SolidWorks / Fusion 360).
- Develop manufacturable solutions aligned with real- world production constraints.

Material & Manufacturing Research

- Conduct in- depth research on materials and manufacturing processes, focusing on: Aluminum alloys, Rubber & silicone, Foam materials, 3D printing plastics- Evaluate feasibility, durability, and scalability for commercialization.

User- Centered Engineering

- Process and test aluminum, rubber, and plastic components.
- Execute 3D printing, manual assembly, and iterative testing.
- Refine mechanical systems based on user feedback and functional performance.

Strategic R&D Support

- Refine mechanical logic based on real human usage- not theoretical assumptions.
- Coordinate with the Founder to collect anthropometric data.
- Work closely with users with upper- limb disabilities or visual impairments.

Rapid Prototyping & Testing

- Support the expansion of the current modular tool- set ecosystem.
- Contribute to the research and development of new product lines addressing diverse disability needs beyond the current scope.
- Provide technical feedback grounded in manufacturing reality.

Skillset

- Proficiency in Rhinoceros, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360.
- Experience in 3D printing, manual assembly, and material knowledge (Aluminum, Rubber, Plastics).
- Ability to translate complex mechanical concepts into practical solutions.
- Strong visual thinking ability (hand- drawn exploded mechanical sketches).

Mindset & Attitude

- Mechanical purist: prioritizes minimalism, pure mechanics, and pragmatic design.
- Comfortable working directly with the Founder in a high- accountability environment.
- Avoids unnecessary electronic complexity.
- Proactive executor- gives constructive technical feedback instead of just following instructions.
- Deep empathy and product sensitivity toward people with disabilities.

- A playground for clever, modular, sustainable engineering.
- Work side- by- side with the Founder/CPO in a flat R&D structure.
- Direct engagement with the amputee and visually impaired community — see your work change lives in real- time.
- You aren’t just designing products — you are restoring dignity and independence.
- Every sketch has the potential to become a breakthrough product.
