Our approach puts innovation, engineering, and user experience at the center of our process, creating ground-breaking products that users bond with and clients keep coming back for.
Job Summary:
We are seeking a talented and detail-oriented Prototype Model maker to join our team on a freelance basis. This is a hands-on role for a crafts person who takes pride in building high-quality physical models that bring design concepts to life. The ideal candidate is comfortable in the shop, highly skilled with tools and materials, and able to translate digital designs and sketches into precise, professional prototypes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Build physical models and appearance prototypes with exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
- Work with a wide range of materials, including plastics, wood, foam, and metal, using both hand tools and power tools.
- Interpret sketches, CAD drawings, and design intent to create accurate mock-ups and refined presentation models.
- Apply finishing techniques such as sanding, painting, and polishing to deliver professional-quality results.
- Collaborate closely with designers and engineers to problem-solve and refine prototypes quickly.
- Recommend fabrication approaches and materials that best represent design intent within project timelines.
- Maintain a safe, organized, and well-equipped workshop.
- Assist in the creative exploration process by rapidly fabricating mock-ups and testing ideas.
Qualifications:
- Proven experience in modelmaking, prototyping, or related fabrication fields.
- Strong hands-on skills with woodworking, machining, sculpting, and finishing.
- Proficiency with shop equipment such as table saws, drill presses, sanders, and hand tools.
- Familiarity with 3D printing and basic digital fabrication methods is a plus but not required.
- Excellent eye for detail, precision, and finish quality.
- Ability to interpret technical drawings and translate them into accurate prototypes.
- Strong problem-solving skills and adaptability in fast-paced project environments.
- Team player with effective communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining quality standards.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience in a design consultancy, model shop, or industrial design environment.
