Job Description
Live Lucera, LLC is developing The Feel Kit™, a consumer health education tool centered on tactile learning and body awareness, with a focus on breast cancer awareness. We are seeking an experienced industrial or product designer with hands-on silicone and prosthetic fabrication experience to help bring an early-stage physical prototype to life.
- This project focuses on materiality, touch, and physical realism, not electronics or digital-only design. The goal is to create a non-clinical, inclusive tactile object that supports learning through guided touch.The core prototype involves:
- Silicone-based tactile forms
- Embedded texture and density variations
- Multi-durometer materials
- Molded components suitable for iteration and small-batch production
- A modular approach that supports inclusivity and customization
This is an educational tool, not a diagnostic medical device.
Responsibilities may include:
- Translating a conceptual brief into physical prototype designs
- Advising on silicone types, durometers, and fabrication methods
- Designing molds and forms for tactile realism
- Fabricating and iterating early-stage prototypes
- Refining designs based on tactile testing and feedback
- Preparing CAD files (STL/STEP) and fabrication documentation
- Advising on durability and manufacturability for future scaling
- Deliverables will likely include:
- 2–4 physical prototype iterations
- CAD/mold files
- Material specifications and fabrication notes
We are specifically looking for someone with experience in:
✔ Industrial or product design for physical goods
✔ Silicone prosthetics, SFX fabrication, or anatomical models
✔ Multi-texture and multi-density material work
✔ Mold-making and hands-on fabrication
✔ Iterative prototyping and user-centered refinement
Strong preference for candidates who have physically fabricated silicone prototypes, not only designed them digitally.
- Bonus experience:
- Educational or anatomical tools
- Inclusive design approaches
- Preparing designs for small-batch manufacturing
- Estimated Phase 1 timeline:
- Discovery & material planning: 1–2 weeks
- Prototype development & iteration: 4–6 weeks
- Documentation & handoff: 1–2 weeks
Total: ~8–10 weeks
There is strong potential for continued collaboration as the product evolves.
- Live Lucera prioritizes:
- Inclusive, trauma-informed design
- Thoughtful, non-clinical health education
- Clear communication and documentation
- Respect for intellectual property and confidentiality
Applicants must be comfortable signing an NDA prior to receiving detailed project materials.
