Key Responsibilities

Concept Translation & Engineering Design

• Translate kinetic concepts and sketches into functional mechanical systems.

• Develop CAD models, 2D drawings, and motion simulations to validate feasibility.

• Provide technical input on structural stability, safety, and durability while maintaining design integrity.

Mechanism Development

• Design and prototype linkages, gears, cams, pulleys, actuators, and hinges for kinetic artworks.

• Explore modular and scalable mechanical solutions for large-scale installations.

• Optimize systems for smooth movement, longevity, and ease of maintenance.

Material & Fabrication Support

• Recommend appropriate materials, finishes, and jointing methods for each project.

• Collaborate with fabricators, machinists, and artisans to prototype and manufacture components.

• Supervise fabrication and ensure accuracy between engineering drawings and physical execution.

Integration with Interactive Systems

• Work with mechatronics elements: motors, sensors, microcontrollers (Arduino/PLC) for automated or interactive motion.

• Assist in testing and integrating electrical/automation systems if required.

Prototyping & Testing

• Build scale models and prototypes for design validation.

• Conduct stress, load, and endurance testing to guarantee performance.

• Maintain technical documentation: drawings, BOMs (Bill of Materials), test reports.

On-Site Execution & Support

• Supervise assembly, transport, and installation of kinetic pieces on-site.

• Troubleshoot and resolve mechanical challenges during execution.

• Provide maintenance guidelines and manuals to ensure long-term functionality.
