I need an engineer with experience in solar-powered consumer electronics to help design/develop a prototype solar charging iPad case. Several of the current options on the market are bulky/have too many bells & whistles ( /) or are separate devices altogether ( /product/827121/goal-zero-guide-10-plus-adventure-kit-solar-charger). One promising example is this device for the Kindle: /en/default.aspx#. I'm looking for a design that's as slim as possible, capable of meaningfully slowing battery drain when the device is in use, and of course can charge the device fully. No bells and whistles, just a thin, attractive, lightweight product that protects and charges an iPad. If you are interested in partnering on this project, please provide: - Your background and qualifications - Past projects and experience designing & developing consumer products (and the role(s) you played). Most curious to hear about projects you are particularly proud of and experience with solar charging technologies. - References - Familiarity with all the post-prototype steps needed to bring a product to market including patent process, manufacturer sourcing, etc. Any particular questions, please let me know. I look forward to hearing from you! Desired Skills: 3d Modelling, Manufacturing Design, Mechanical Engineering Keywords: Mechanical, Engineering, 3d, Manufacturing, Design, Modelling
