Seeking an experienced mechanical design engineer to join an early-stage product development project with the goal to create a unique pen featuring a visible mechanical movement, skeletonized architecture, gears, jewel bearings, and animated watch-inspired mechanics.
The product will consist of a visible mechanical assembly containing; Exposed gears, Skeletonized bridges, Jewel bearings,
Spring-powered kinetic display mechanism, Manual winding system, Push-button activation, Transparent viewing windows.
The mechanism is intended to provide a visually engaging animated display, similar to a miniature watch movement.
Scope of Work
Phase 1 – Feasibility & Concept Development
Develop mechanism concepts
Recommend architecture
Evaluate manufacturability
Recommend use of standard vs custom components
Estimate component count and assembly requirements
Phase 2 – Mechanical Design
Gear train design
Spring energy storage system
Winding mechanism
Trigger/release mechanism
Bearing and shaft arrangements
Bridge and frame design
Refill integration
Phase 3 – CAD Development
Complete 3D CAD model
Assembly model
Motion analysis
Interference checking
Tolerance review
Phase 4 – Prototype Package
Manufacturing drawings
BOM
Component sourcing recommendations
Assembly documentation
This is not a conventional pen design project. The ideal candidate will need to have had experience in either Watchmaking mechanisms, Micro-mechanics, Precision gear trains, Small mechanical assemblies and Product development for CNC-manufactured components
When applying please include including information on relevent projects and experience.
This role is casual, but will hopefully have ongoing work as we look to develop further models.
