*Seeking Industrial Engineer/Grad Student with 3D CAD and/or Prototyping
Capabilities *
*Deliverable(s): *Two 3D-CAD models or actual working 3D Models to perform
for presentations.
See below for model description(s):
1) *“Smart Shower Meter” *which tracks data in real time and displays on a
LCD screen; powered by flow of water; will eventually encompass Internet of
Things, so we can show this aesthetically on the model
2) *“Shower Pedal” *which is a pedal that stops the flow of the showerhead
while water remains on; design will incorporate both “flow-stopper”
mechanism and safe, aesthetic pedal design
*Timeline: *AS SOON AS POSSIBLE – hoping to perform weeks of iterations
before SXSW Eco, October 4-6.
*If this can be done in the next 4-6 weeks that would be ideal. *
*Description: *Work with founder (Steve Kohn) to design and develop inner
mechanism for above two deliverables. This will include the following for
both deliverables:
brainstorming and troubleshooting inner mechanisms
aesthetically pleasing, modern design
aspects of customer interface (safety, feasibility, etc.)
experimenting and getting creative within a startup budget
These designs will not be retail quality; rather these will perform for
customer feedback, pre-sales and presentations. Accordingly, models should
be designed with these goals in mind and engineer may be asked for
consult/help developing shower mechanism to showcase WiseWater tools
publicly. An initial discussion will help us to develop a final task list
which we can use for compensation and timeline planning.
****MUST HAVE EXPERIENCE AND ACCESS TO 3D MODELING and/or 3D PRINTING
TECHNOLOGY *
*Compensation: *Payment will be negotiated at project or hourly basis
between founder and prototyper. Founder will also pay for all reasonable
expenses incurred (if any) for physical prototypes as well.
*Candidate: *The person hired will exhibit experience with industrial
design, 3-d modeling/printing and be willing to create the vision of these
prototypes while providing engineering insight throughout the design and
creation process. Someone who is open-minded and enjoys collaborating, as
well as someone who can produce in a timely manner. I can ensure a very
pleasant experience, but I will be adamant about the deadlines we discuss.
This is mostly because of the summer deadline I am on myself. Someone who
appreciates sustainability and resource management is a plus but not a
requirement.
Please send resumes and a brief letter of interest to steven.kohn@gmail.com
