Mechanical - Bionic Elbow (Mechanical)

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
