SUMMARY/OBJECTIVE
3D Product development position is responsible for taking initial design concepts from 2-dimensional sketches to 3-dimensional design. This includes developing a complete Rhino design file including all 3-dimensional surfaces, low level manufacturing feasibility, general fit correctness and maintaining the overall design feel and flow provided In the initial product sketch or technical drawing.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
· Eyewear and other development projects work directly with head of the eyewear département.
· Responsible for taking all design concepts provided from the 2-dimesional or concept stage to a working 3-D Rhino file. This process is comprised mainly of evolving a 2D drawing into a 3D model without compromising the initial design concept as well as evolving the 2D concept into 3D model in the spirit of the initial design.
· Rough Design prototyping - Development of 3D printed or metal cast prototypes for designer approval.
· On the fly revisions to bring the idea to a final approved stage.
· Development of a detailed 2-dimensional drawing with all necessary profiles to concisely communicate the approved 3Dimentional design in a 2D format.
QUALIFICATIONS
· 3 to 5 years rhino experience building complex design models with an ability to understand and or learn a certain amount of general technical eyewear manufacturing concepts.
· An ability to focus for long periods of time and a high level of attention to detail.
· Proficient with adobe Illustrator.
· Proficient in keyshots 3D rendering and animation software. Should be able to take a rhino design model and render all proposed materials to match existing and new colorways.
· Competent in taking 2-dimensional design concepts to a complex 3-dimensional model. Including evolving all radiuses and undeveloped or defined surfaces, developing manufacturable material thicknesses and low-level mechanical functionality and part connectivity.
· Competent with the 3D printing process including setting up models to print and evolving the printed part to a field test worthy piece.
· Competent in taking a 3-d Rhino file to a 2-dimensional cad drawing.
· Ability to learn and retain eyewear design concepts coming from the Head of the eyewear division.
· This is not a design position. However, it is an opportunity to, over a period of time, learn for the 30 years eyewear design experience that rests in the design team.
· Key candidates will possess the patience and teachabilty to learn the companies process to mastery which may be a multi-year undertaking.
An extremely successful PE firm that is growing and expanding that offers excellent benefits and a positive work environment.
