About the Project : We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile freelance Product Design Engineer for the end-to-end development of a new, large-scale, 20-foot center-pole parasol. This project requires a blend of sophisticated industrial design and mechanical engineering to bring a minimalist, architectural vision to life.
The Role : As the sole Product Design Engineer, you will own the entire process from design refinement to creating the final, production-ready manufacturing documents. You will be responsible for both the aesthetic form and the structural integrity of the product, ensuring a seamless fusion of beauty and function.
Key Responsibilities :
Design & Aesthetics :
- Refine the existing "Soft Modernism" concept into a detailed 3D CAD model, focusing on high-quality aesthetic surfaces and ergonomic details.
- Specify all high-performance materials, colors, and finishes suitable for demanding outdoor environments.
- Create photorealistic 3D renderings for key design reviews with the client and creative director.
Engineering & Analysis :
Perform comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the 24-rib, 20-foot diameter structure to validate its integrity against specified wind loads.Design and engineer a robust telescoping mast , a smooth crank lift mechanism , and potentially a gas-piston self-tensioning system .Manufacturing Documentation :
Create a complete Technical Data Package (TDP) , including detailed 2D manufacturing drawings with full Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) .Develop a full Bill of Materials (BOM) and assembly guide.Ideal Candidate Profile :
A strong portfolio that clearly demonstrates a blend of high-level industrial design and rigorous mechanical engineering on past projects.Proven experience taking a complex product from initial concept all the way through to a fully engineered and documented TDP.Expert proficiency in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks), rendering engines, and FEA simulation tools.Deep knowledge of mechanism design, structural analysis, DFM (Design for Manufacturing), aluminum fabrication, and performance textiles.Project Details :
