Project objective: Industrialize the existing Cure Bionics bionic elbow prototype into a robust, manufacturable, and clinically viable product, compatible with multiple end-effectors and fully integrated with socket design and embedded electronics.
Required technical skills:
- Mechanical design and CAD using SolidWorks
- Mechanical simulations (stress, deformation, stability)
- Design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA)
- Material selection (aluminum, steel, polymers)
- 3D printing for prototyping
- Mechanical integration with electronics and socket systems
- Manufacturing drawings and BOM preparation
Required personal skills:
- Analytical and problem-solving skills
- Attention to detail and engineering rigor
- Ability to work in a multidisciplinary team
- Clear technical communication
Main tasks:
- Analyze and improve the existing mechanical elbow design
- Redesign the architecture for manufacturability and maintenance
- Perform CAD modeling and mechanical simulations
- Select materials and define structural constraints
- Prototype and test components using 3D printing
- Collaborate with electronics and socket design teams
- Prepare the complete industrial manufacturing and assembly file
