Production-Intent Waterproof Enclosure Design for Outdoor GPS Tracking Device
Worldwide
I am looking for an experienced mechanical engineer or industrial designer to create a production-intent, waterproof enclosure for an outdoor GPS tracking device. I already have a PCB board engineer working on the electronics, so the enclosure designer must be able to work alongside him and design around PCB, battery, solar panel, antenna, waterproofing, and manufacturability constraints. This is not just a visual concept. I am looking for a practical enclosure design that can move toward factory manufacturing, mold quotes, and production after prototype validation. Key requirements: Lightweight style enclosure Target full product weight: ideally 35–40 g, max around 45 g Waterproof target: IP67 minimum Front-facing solar panel Internal rechargeable battery Good GPS/cellular antenna performance Durable for rain, mud, sun, cold/heat, impact, and long-term wear Rounded edges and low snag risk Original design, not copied from competitors Designed with future injection molding and production manufacturing in mind Required deliverables: Recommended outer dimensions Internal layout for PCB, battery, solar panel, and antenna constraints Full 3D CAD design STEP/STL/source CAD files 3D-printable prototype files Waterproofing/sealing strategy Material recommendation Estimated enclosure weight DFM notes for injection molding Manufacturing risks and recommendations Revision support after PCB dimensions are finalized Please include: examples of waterproof electronics enclosures you have designed whether your previous designs have gone to manufacturing experience with IP67/IP68 design experience with plastic injection molding / DFM CAD software you use whether you can coordinate with another PCB board engineer estimated timeline
