Minimum Requirements
Your future team:
The Model Shop is a key partner in product development, working closely with designers and engineers to turn ideas into physical prototypes, learn from the making of those prototypes, and iterate using those learnings.
The team is comprised of approximately 25-30 model making professionals who have technical expertise across a variety of areas (foam core, metal, plastics, upholstery, wood) as well as skill sets that range from early concept prototyping to high resolution models that have the appearance and ability to function as the final product. As part of product development, the model making team members are partners to their peers in other functions. Contributing far more than the making of physical objects, each team member offers insights and ideas, synthesizes learnings, and is a key member of the product development effort.
