Job Opening: Project Manager
Application Period: December 14, 2022 – January 20, 2023
About Let’s Prototype
Let’s Prototype is a functional prototype manufacturing laboratory. By integrating capabilities in electronics, industrial design, mechanical engineering, software engineering, telecommunications, and mathematics, we bring our clients’ ideas, patents, and concepts to life.
We work with independent inventors as well as innovation departments in SMEs and large corporations, including companies such as Acciona Group, Calidad Pascual, and Bexen Medical. In every case, our clients entrust us with genuine technical challenges that become business opportunities. To achieve their goals, we work within defined timelines and technical requirements that shape the development strategy for each prototype.
We firmly believe that involving our clients throughout the prototype development process, together with integrating multiple engineering disciplines within a single environment guided by our proprietary ASPIRA methodology, is essential to delivering the best possible results in every functional prototype we develop.
Functional prototypes: These are the first physical units produced through an iterative development process designed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the functional requirements defined by the client with the support of Let’s Prototype’s engineering and project management team. Functional prototypes are built using rapid, hands-on manufacturing techniques that enable fast iteration without being constrained by industrial production requirements or standards.
What Do We Do Exceptionally Well?
We believe in our ability to bring together the widest possible range of capabilities in a single environment, each represented by professionals who are passionate about the maker movement and innovation.
Having our own workshop and engineering laboratory integrated within the same environment enables us to carry out rapid, continuous iteration cycles. This results in remarkable functional prototypes that exceed our clients’ expectations, surprise them, and encourage them to move forward with their market launches.
What Is a Functional Prototype Used For?
Ninety percent of the independent inventors we work with every day require a functional prototype for one or more of the following objectives:
Demonstrate that the idea works.
Obtain a physical unit to present to potential stakeholders.
Identify new patentable innovations to draft robust patent applications with a strong likelihood of success.
To validate genuine market interest.
To support the patent and begin commercializing the product, either directly or through distributors or potential patent buyers.
Company History
Let’s Prototype is the result of the experience of a family of entrepreneurs with more than 35 years of expertise in the engineering and consulting industry.
On one hand, its business team led the consulting firm and private investor network BusinessInFact, S.A. for more than a decade. Through this experience, Let’s Prototype inherited a strong business development mindset, having evaluated more than 500 technology ventures each year, supported many of them through their launch process, and secured private investment for their growth. As a result, Let’s Prototype’s business development team has advised more than 30 technology companies, helping them raise an average of €100,000 in private funding.
On the other hand, Let’s Prototype’s technical leadership has founded and managed engineering companies specializing in aircraft maintenance for more than two decades. From this experience, Let’s Prototype has inherited a strong culture of technical rigor, structured processes, ingenuity, and the engineering expertise required to deliver the best possible solution for every prototype.
Today, Let’s Prototype is a recognized leader in hardware innovation, IoT prototypes, AI-powered prototypes, and complex challenges involving mechanical engineering and industrial design.
