Design Museum Boston is seeking a 3D Design Intern to join our team this summer and assist us in designing, developing and fabricating exhibitions and other program elements. Design Museum Boston is a distributed museum, meaning we don’t have a single physical location — we put exhibitions in places where people already go, places like city hall, the mall, the airport, public parks, and online. Our exhibitions need to be designed to pop-up quickly, travel, and most importantly educate and delight our audience. The 3D design intern will tackle challenges at multiple levels that are specific to Design Museum Boston’s unique approach to delivering educational content.

Qualifications:
The intern will:

  • Develop concepts and prototypes for exhibition and physical programmatic elements
  • Fabricate and install exhibitions in public
  • Monitor and maintain exhibitions in the field
  • We’re looking for someone who:
  • Is a self-starter, able to pick up parts of a project and contribute
  • Is a collaborator, able to fit into a team and boost its effectiveness
  • Is adaptable, able to pivot and move forward with new constraints
  • Is a planner, able to anticipate needs and put detailed plans in place for the future
  • Is a builder, able to translate his/her ideas into real assets (wood, metal, acrylic, etc)

Knowledge of the following tools/processes required:

  • Knowledge of CAD systems: Rhino, Solidworks, or Sketchup
  • Expertise with Adobe CreativeSuite (in particular Photoshop and Illustrator)
  • Wood/metal shop power tools and assembly processes
  • Pages, Keynote
  • Googledocs
