Industrial Designer for Wearable Baby Monitor (Enclosure, Clip Mechanism & DFM)

We are developing a wearable baby monitor that prioritizes "awareness without surveillance." Unlike traditional monitors with cameras, Jack Jack is a small, screen-less device that clips onto a baby’s clothing to monitor sound levels via Bluetooth. We have the electronics (custom PCB) and firmware in development. We are looking for an Industrial Designer to take our PCB and battery constraints and create a safe, durable, and aesthetically "calm" enclosure ready for prototyping and mass production. Scope of Work: 1. Enclosure Design: Design a compact, soft-touch plastic enclosure that houses our custom PCB (Nordic nRF52 based) and a LiPo battery. 2. Clip Mechanism: Engineer a reliable clip mechanism (e.g., spring-loaded or living hinge) that attaches securely to infant clothing (onesies) without pinching or falling off. 3. Antenna Optimization: Ensure the design respects the "keep-out" zones for the internal PCB antenna (u-blox NINA-B406) to maintain Bluetooth connectivity. 4. DFM (Design for Manufacturing): • Phase 1: Deliver files optimized for high-fidelity prototyping (SLA/MJF 3D printing and Vacuum Casting). • Phase 2: Ensure the design is draft-angle ready for Injection Molding (ABS/PC) in the future. Technical Constraints & Requirements: • Safety First: The design must adhere to baby product safety standards (e.g., ASTM F963 / IEC 62368-1). It must be too large to be a choking hazard (small parts cylinder test) and have no sharp edges. • Electronics: We will provide the PCB STEP file. You must design around the board and battery tightly. • Aesthetics: The brand language is "Calm, Soft, Non-Medical." Think "pebble," "soft curves," and pastel tones. Deliverables: • 3D Source Files (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or STEP). • Photorealistic Renders (KeyShot or Blender) for internal review. • 2D Technical Drawings for the manufacturer. Ideal Candidate: • Experience designing wearables or small consumer electronics. • Strong understanding of injection molding constraints (undercuts, wall thickness, bosses). • Experience with mechanisms (clips, hinges, snap-fits). • Bonus: Previous experience with baby/child products or medical devices. If interested: • Please share 2-3 examples of "wearable" or "clip-on" products you have designed. • How do you ensure a mechanism (like a clip) maintains its tension over time versus cheap 3D printed parts? • Have you worked with internal Bluetooth antennas before? How do you handle material selection to avoid signal blocking? Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
