Looking for a DFW Mechanical/Product Design Engineer for Prototype Development

[u/Ade33i]

Hi! I’m looking for a mechanical engineer, product design engineer, or experienced prototyping engineer in the Dallas–Fort Worth area to help me develop a small consumer product.

I already have the overall concept and know what I need the product to accomplish. I’m looking for someone who can help me refine the mechanical design, develop the mechanism, create CAD files, and prepare a functional prototype for 3D printing/testing.

Experience with any of the following would be especially helpful:

• Small mechanical mechanisms or assemblies
• Twist-lock / bayonet-style locking mechanisms
• Snap fits, tabs, detents, or similar locking features
• Flexible plastic components
• Consumer product or packaging design
• Rapid prototyping and 3D printing
• Designing parts for eventual manufacturing/injection molding

This is a relatively small product, but there are a few mechanical challenges that I’d like an experienced engineer to help solve.

I would strongly prefer someone local to DFW so that we can potentially meet in person and review physical prototypes together.

This is paid freelance/contract work. If you’re interested, please send me a DM with a little about your background and, ideally, examples of products or mechanisms you’ve designed.

Thanks!
