The Lab:聽
Lili鈥檚 Proto Lab is the prototyping facility for students and staff at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. We host projects, courses and workshops and provide 1:1 mentoring. We help users start their first 3D prints, but also consult on bespoke laboratory equipment and field equipment (and everything in between). We are part-education-facility part-workshop and value the makers learning as much as we value their final product. Visit for an impression of what we do.
The Position:
The student assistant will work with us on a day-to-day basis, learning through working, helping visitors to use the equipment and occasionally weighing in on their designs. We would like our new colleague to feel comfortable providing constructive critique whilst creating a nurturing environment. We are a small team, like a start-up, and so flexibility and being able to help with events, developing media/instruction materials and instrument improvements will also be helpful. However, first and foremost, users reach out to us for hardware skills. Naturally, you are not expected to have mastered all of these already. You will receive training and are expected to skill yourself further while on the job.
