Our client is currently looking for a Mechanical Prototype Engineer. This person will serve two critical functions: Project Mentor: Directly oversee Mechanical Engineering interns as they execute a Proof of Concept (POC) for a camera hardware solution designed for retail bays. Program Architect: Help define the formal requirements and infrastructure for a scalable Mechanical Engineering internship program.
Job Responsibility:
Lead the transition from lab-bench prototypes to designs that can be manufactured at scale, specifically focusing on injection molding or sheet metal constraints for retail environments
Define and execute testing protocols for the camera housing, ensuring it meets specific Ingress Protection (IP) ratings for dust and moisture, and "retail-tough" durability (IK impact ratings)
Guide the intern in selecting cost-effective sensors and materials, teaching them how to balance high-performance engineering with the unit-cost realities of retail deployments
Mentor the Intern: Guide them through a 16-week roadmap (Hardware selection -Lab Testing, CAD Prototyping and Executive Presentation)
Design the Framework: Help build a repeatable "Syllabus" and evaluation rubric for future ME interns
Technical Oversight: Ensure the Camera POC meets engineering standards for image clarity, durability (IP ratings), and retail integration
Requirements:
Academic Credential: Master’s or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Faculty experience is a major plus)
Hard Skills: Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks/Fusion 360) and experience with hardware testing/prototyping
Mentorship DNA: A proven track record of developing junior engineering talent
