The project
We're looking for a product/industrial designer to design a system that applies self-adhesive labels to bottles. This is a hands-on mechanical design brief, not a graphic design one — we need the mechanism, not the artwork.
You'll be designing (in concept, and where possible in enough detail to prototype) a way to:
- Feed and position a bottle so a self-adhesive label can be applied accurately and consistently
- Dispense the label from a roll or stack and apply it to the bottle with minimal wrinkling, misalignment, or waste
- Work reliably across a realistic run of bottles, not just a single demo unit
- Fit within a small-to-mid-size production setup (this is not a request to design an industrial labeling line from scratch — a smart, well-engineered jig, fixture, or semi-automated mechanism is exactly what we're after)
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a fixed-fee project: £500 on delivery of a complete, workable design (concept, mechanism, and supporting drawings/documentation sufficient for us to evaluate and prototype it).
What you'll deliver
- A clear design concept for the label-applicator system (sketches, CAD, or both)
- An explanation of how it handles bottle positioning, label dispensing, and application
- Notes on materials, manufacturability, and any assumptions made (bottle size/shape, label size, run rate, etc. — we're happy to share reference specs once we're talking)
- Enough detail that we could hand it to a workshop or contract manufacturer and get it built

Who we're looking for
- A product design, industrial design, or mechanical engineering student, recent graduate, or early-career designer — internships and short contracts both welcome
- Comfort with mechanical/physical product design, not just digital or graphic design
- Experience with CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) is a strong plus
- Bonus: any experience with packaging lines, jigs/fixtures, or small-scale automation
- Self-directed and comfortable working remotely against a clear brief
