Mechanical Engineer Needed – Design & Prototype Portable Lifting Device (CAD + Build)

Posted 3 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am developing a portable mechanical lifting device intended to enable a single user to safely lift and position heavy items (e.g. rooftop-mounted equipment) onto and off a vehicle. The project involves creating a compact and practical system that improves stability and usability compared to existing lifting approaches, while remaining portable and suitable for consumer use. I am looking for an experienced mechanical/product design engineer to help refine the concept into a working design, and to support the development of an initial prototype. Further technical details will be shared with shortlisted candidates under confidentiality.
