Discipline 01 / Skills and deliverables

Mechanical engineering

Bring moving parts, products and manufacturing systems into focus. Work with mechanical specialists on concept development, detailed design and practical handover to production.

What you could work on

Start with a tangible result.

  • Concept studies and design options
  • Parametric 3D models and production drawings
  • Simulation reports with documented assumptions
  • Bills of materials and assembly guidance

The skills behind the work

A more specific starting point.

  • CAD
  • SolidWorks
  • FEA
  • Product development
  • Design for manufacture
  • GD&T

Scope, responsibilities and acceptance criteria depend on the individual project. Use the deliverables and skills to start a focused conversation.
