Single-Serve Food Container Opener Design
hr USD 8–15
About the project
We're looking for an experienced mechanical designer to develop the first working prototype of a mechanism that opens sealed single-serve food containers quickly, reliably, and without damaging the container or its contents. Scope of work: Develop initial concept(s) based on a functional brief (provided after NDA) Iterate and refine the design through several review cycles Produce detailed manufacturing-ready drawings (dimensions, tolerances, materials, fasteners) Deliver STL files suitable for 3D-printing a functional prototype Recommend prototyping materials/methods appropriate for validating mechanism performance (not just form) Requirements: The mechanism must operate smoothly and consistently across repeated cycles Design must prioritize durability, ease of use, and manufacturability Solution should be practical to produce at scale, not just as a one-off print To apply, please share: Relevant experience with similar mechanical or consumer-product mechanisms (opening, dispensing, or actuation mechanisms preferred) A brief description of your design process, from concept to manufacturing-ready output Examples of past CAD/prototype work (portfolio or case studies) Your typical turnaround for a project of this scope Note: This project involves proprietary mechanical IP. Selected candidates will be asked to sign an NDA and IP assignment agreement before receiving detailed specifications or design files.
