Job Description:

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
