  • Mechanical Engineer with Biomechanics Background – Exercise Machine Prototype Development


    Location:

    Remote (based in the U.S.; occasional travel may be required)




    Job Type:

    Contract / Part-Time (flexible engagement based on project phase)




    Description:

    We are seeking a mechanical engineer with a background in biomechanics and kinesiology to assist in the design, analysis, and prototyping of a commercial-grade exercise machine focused on core training and functional movement. The product is derived from a predecessor device with over 20 years of proven field use and is currently patent pending.




    Key Responsibilities:

    • Develop detailed 3D CAD models of machine components and assemblies (SolidWorks or equivalent)

    • Perform biomechanical and kinematic simulations of user-machine interaction (e.g., OpenSim, AnyBody)

    • Conduct structural stress/load analysis (FEA) to validate safety under commercial gym use

    • Assist with mechanical drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing prep for prototyping

    • Collaborate on material selection, ergonomic design, and component sourcing

    • Support development toward a fully functional prototype for demonstration and potential licensing




    Required Qualifications:

    • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Biomechanics, Kinesiology, or related field

    • Experience in CAD design and assembly modeling (SolidWorks preferred)

    • Familiarity with biomechanical simulation platforms (OpenSim, AnyBody, or similar)

    • Competence in structural analysis using FEA tools (SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS, or Abaqus)

    • Knowledge of human movement, joint mechanics, and functional loading during exercise




    Preferred Skills:

    • Fusion 360 or CAM/CNC workflow experience

    • Experience designing commercial or rehabilitative fitness equipment

    • Familiarity with ISO or ASTM safety standards in fitness equipment




    Compensation:

    Competitive and negotiable. Open to project-based pay, royalty/licensing participation, or long-term collaboration for the right candidate.




    How to Apply:

    Please email your CV/resume, portfolio samples (if available), and a brief introduction outlining your relevant experience to -
