Prototyping Engineer information

What does a typical day look like for a Prototyping Engineer?

A typical day for a Prototyping Engineer often involves collaborating with design and development teams to translate concepts and sketches into working physical models. You may spend time using CAD software, operating fabrication equipment like 3D printers, and assembling or testing prototypes for functionality. Troubleshooting issues and iterating designs based on test results are frequent tasks. This role requires consistent teamwork with engineers, designers, and sometimes clients to ensure the prototyping process aligns with overall project goals.

What is a Prototyping Engineer job?

A Prototyping Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing prototypes of new products or components. They work with design teams to refine concepts, select materials, and ensure that prototypes meet functional and performance requirements. This role involves using various fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing, CNC machining, and electronics assembly. Prototyping Engineers collaborate with R&D, manufacturing, and quality teams to iterate and improve designs before full-scale production. Their goal is to validate ideas quickly and efficiently, reducing development time and costs.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Prototyping Engineer position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Prototyping Engineer, you need strong skills in mechanical or electrical engineering, rapid prototyping, and CAD design, usually supported by a relevant engineering degree. Knowledge of 3D printing, CNC machining, and prototyping software (such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD) is typically essential, along with familiarity with relevant safety standards. Creative problem-solving, collaboration, and effective communication are valuable soft skills in this role. These abilities enable engineers to quickly turn ideas into functional prototypes, ensuring efficient product development and iterative testing.

Job description

YOUR MISSION

As an Software Prototype Engineer at True Anomaly, you will serve as the technical accelerator for our executive leadership team. Your role is to rapidly transform business questions into working applications, integrations, and automated workflows. You'll navigate complex corporate systems, connect disparate data sources, and build practical solutions that enable data-driven decision making at the highest levels of the organization. This role requires equal parts technical velocity and engineering judgment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Build rapid prototypes and proof-of-concept applications to answer executive-level business questions
  • Explore and integrate existing corporate APIs, databases, and infrastructure to automate reporting and organizational workflows
  • Design and implement data pipelines that synthesize information across multiple systems
  • Transform manual processes into automated solutions with appropriate error handling and monitoring
  • Collaborate directly with executive stakeholders to understand requirements and iterate on solutions
  • Maintain clear documentation and write maintainable code despite aggressive timelines
  • Leverage AI-assisted development tools (particularly Claude) to accelerate development cycles
  • Evaluate and adopt appropriate technologies for each use case without over-engineering

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 0-4 years of software development experience across multiple languages and frameworks
  • Strong fundamentals in data structures, algorithms, and system design
  • Demonstrated ability to build working applications from ambiguous requirements
  • Experience with REST APIs, authentication protocols, and common integration patterns
  • Proficiency in at least two of: Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, Go, or similar modern languages
  • Practical experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL) and data transformation
  • Track record of shipping projects quickly without sacrificing code quality

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

  • Experience working directly with executive or senior leadership teams
  • Proven ability to use AI-assisted development tools (Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.) effectively
  • Experience building internal tools, dashboards, or automation workflows
  • Knowledge of data visualization libraries and frameworks
  • Comfort operating in ambiguous environments with shifting priorities
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for non-technical audiences
  • Natural curiosity and self-directed learning ability
  • Experience with ETL/data pipeline tools and orchestration frameworks

COMPENSATION

  • Base Salary: $70,000 to $130,000
  • Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave 

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. 

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Work Location-Successful candidates will be located near Denver or Colorado Springs. While we observe a hybrid work environment, some work must be done on site.
  • Work environment-the work environment; temperature, noise level, inside or outside, or other factors that will affect the person's working conditions while performing the job.
  • Physical demands-the physical demands of the job, including bending, sitting, lifting and driving.

This position will be open until it is successfully filled. To submit your application, please follow the directions below.
