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.
