Sustainable Product Design Intern

The trainee will develop practical, user-ready design-for-disassembly and design-for-repair guidance that engineers and external suppliers can apply immediately. They will translate circular design principles into illustrated step-by-step procedures, clear specification checklists, and ready-to-use templates that simplify end-of-life processes, enhance repairability, and enable higher-value material recovery.

Research & Benchmarking: Collect best-practice examples, standards, and reference frameworks for disassembly and repair across relevant industries and competitive products.

Component-Level Disassembly Procedures: Draft illustrated, step-by-step instructions for 2–3 priority modules, including required tools, fastener types, step order, and safety notes.

Design-for-Repair Guidance: Develop step-by-step repair flows for common failure modes, detailing replaceable sub components, recommended tolerances, and retest criteria.

Specification Checklist Creation: Build concise checklists for engineers and suppliers covering fastener choices, modular interfaces, adhesives, tolerances, labeling, and material compatibility.

Visual Assets & Annotation: Produce clear callouts, exploded-view sketches, and simple photo guides suitable for inclusion in CAD review packs and supplier work instructions.

Validation & Supplier Feedback Loop: Pilot the guidance with one internal engineering team and one external supplier, gather feedback, and refine the materials based on practical constraints.
