Responsibilities:
Review and understand our game gimmick concept (we will provide details)
Propose a mechanical solution that brings the idea to life
Create draft sketches, diagrams, or simple CAD concepts (not final engineering required)
Explain how the mechanism functions step-by-step
Suggest suitable materials and basic manufacturing approach (e.g., plastic, cardboard, springs, magnets, etc.)
Identify potential issues and suggest improvements
Deliverables:
3D file of product design
Written explanation of how it works
Basic material and construction suggestions
Notes on feasibility and potential challenges
Requirements:
Experience in mechanical design, product design, or industrial design
Ability to simplify ideas into practical, buildable mechanisms
Familiarity with common mechanisms (levers, gears, sliders, springs, etc.)
