Mechanical Design Engineer — Housing/Enclosure Redesign

We have a working proof-of-concept (POC) that requires a redesign of its housing/enclosure. We're looking for an experienced mechanical design engineer to take on this focused, short-term project: redesign the housing and deliver print-ready files, including the 3D printer code needed to produce the parts on a local printer.

Key Responsibilities

Redesign the housing/enclosure of our current POC based on provided specs and reference hardware.
Optimize the design for additive manufacturing (design for 3D printing — wall thickness, tolerances, supports, orientation).
Prepare print-ready files and generate the 3D printer code (slicer output / G-code) for local printing.
Iterate quickly on the design based on review feedback.
Hand over clean source CAD files and brief documentation (print settings, recommended material).

Requirements

Proven experience in mechanical/product design, ideally with hardware enclosures.
Strong proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or equivalent).
Hands-on experience with 3D printing (FDM/SLA), slicing software, and generating printer-ready G-code.
Solid grasp of design-for-manufacturing principles for 3D printing (tolerances, fits, material selection).
Able to work independently and deliver on a tight timeline.

Nice to Have

Experience designing enclosures for electronics or hardware POCs.
Familiarity with locally available printers, materials, and print services.

Deliverables

Final CAD design of the redesigned housing (editable source files).
Print-ready files and generated 3D printer code for local printing.
Short documentation covering print settings and recommended material.
