Engineering Project Assistant

Pittsburgh, United States Deeplocal Inc. Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

As a Deeplocal Engineering Project Assistant (EPA), you'll play an integral role in bringing projects to life that live at the intersection of marketing, technology, tangible interaction, environmental space, and design. You'll leverage project management skills, acute attention to detail, communication skills, and work ethic to deliver world class projects.
For each project, you'll support the Engineering team by assisting the EPMs in being responsible for a range of tasks—from sourcing and testing creative concepts in their prototypic and conceptually early phases to prove out and de-risk ideas from small to large, to researching and building out physical and digital testing platforms, to assembling final products and implementing shake down/break in procedures, to traveling on-site for projects.

Candidates should be aware that EPA’s don't work typical 9-5 hours (at least, not all of the time); during a project, this is a mentally and sometimes physically demanding role that means spurts of long hours to deliver projects on time. The right candidate needs to maintain a positive attitude and collaborative spirit during demanding periods of work. 

This role is the first step into the Engineering Project Management team at Deeplocal and successful candidates will have a path into future roles. 

This is a freelance position with potential for conversion to permanent employment.

Responsibilities

While tasks may change from day to day, the ideal candidate must possess the skills necessary to be responsible to the company for the accountabilities of this job.

  • Prove out concepts - Develop conceptual testing procedures for bid estimation, creative technology, and mock up purposes reporting directly to the EPM manager
  • Supports project estimate creation - Researches project hard costs and vendors to provide support to EPM’s in creating project estimates for pitches.
  • Manage and own taking an idea to a product - Self starter attitude, can take an idea and turn it into something tangible, whether digital or physical
  • Helps to source materials - Locates local or global resources, places orders, and tracks shipping of materials in a timely manner, picks up or schedules deliveries.
  • Sources and grows vendor relationships - Researches, sets up calls with, and listens to vendor capabilities. Creates purchase orders. Maintains a current list of vendors and their capabilities. Checks references. Suggests vendors when needed.
  • General support - Helps with general support as needed for all Deeplocal projects and the office itself. This may include running errands by car, participating in testing, some manual labor, some administrative support, or travel to support live events or installation.

Desired Skills

  • CAD/CAM basics
  • Organizational skills
  • Prompt communication skills
  • Creative thinker & problem-solver
  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Excited by new challenges, never-been-done-before work
  • Foundational engineering/technical skills and basic fabrication experience strongly preferred

Location

This is a Studio/Shop-based position. This position’s responsibilities are heavily dependent on being in the studio or shop on a daily basis during core business hours.
