Project Title: Mechanical Validation & Prototyping: 60GHz RF Optic Enclosure (ULTEM™)
Project Overview
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Development Engineer to move a patented RF-enhancement technology—the RF BENDER™—from simulation to physical benchmarking. The core of the project involves designing and testing a monolithic lens/housing assembly for 60GHz mmWave radar sensors. This product targets both the Automotive (Child Presence Detection) and Commercial Real Estate (Smart HVAC/Lighting) markets.
The Challenge
The "product" is a refractive lens that provides a 12dBi signal gain. Because we are working at 60GHz (millimeter wave), the physics is unforgiving. A deviation of 0.1mm in geometry will result in signal failure. We need an engineer who can treat plastic as a precision optical component.
Key Responsibilities
1. Monolithic Design (CAD): Integrate a 2.84mm refractive datum with a snap-fit housing for a PCB. The design must maintain a strict 3.0mm air gap between the chip and the lens.
2. Material Strategy: Optimize the design for ULTEM™ 1010/9085 (PEI) to ensure thermal stability and dielectric consistency.
3. Physical Benchmarking: * Design a non-reflective, rigid test jig.
• Execute range-extension and "punch-through" tests using radar visualizer software.
• Validate the 12dBi gain theory through empirical data.
4. DFM (Design for Manufacturing): Prepare files for high-temp injection molding with specific attention to Tolerance Stack-up Analysis.
Required Skill Levels & Tools
• Software: SolidWorks Professional (Simulation/Flow), Geomagic (for 3D scanning/automotive integration).
• Precision: Mastery of GD&T with a track record of holding +/- 0.05mm tolerances in high-performance polymers.
• V&V Experience: Ability to write a formal Validation Report for investors. Experience in the Medical Device (ISO 13485) or Aerospace sectors is highly preferred.
Why Join This Project?
• Foundation of Equality: We are democratizing life-safety tech. Our goal is a $99 installed price point to ensure "Warfighter-grade" safety is accessible to all.
• Veteran-Led: This is a mission-driven project led by a disabled war veteran and commercial developer.
• Clear Exit Path: This validation phase is the final step before we trigger our Royalty-Based (Royal Position) funding and move to mass production.
Candidate Instructions
Please provide a brief summary of your experience with high-temp polymers (ULTEM/PEEK) and any experience you have with RF packaging or precision optical enclosures. If you have access to high-end metrology (CMM/3D Scanning), please highlight this in your proposal.
