• Support the Product Development team with fabrication and assembly of prototypes using woodshop tools, hand tools, CNC equipment, and 3D printers.
• Assist in building and modifying prototypes for new consumer products.
• Help conduct basic prototype testing to identify design or material improvements.
  
  Document prototype builds, materials, and revisions as needed.
• Maintain and organize prototyping lab tools and equipment.
• Support iterative design changes based on feedback from designers, engineers, and stakeholders.
