Show Mechanical Engineer 演出布景机械工程师 – 机动人偶

GENERAL INTRODUCTION:

The Show Systems Studio is where we produce, make, and build the magic. Our processes and tool sets take us from concept design or mock-ups all the way through to full-on production, assembly, and installation. Our Manufacturing and Production Technicians use their hands and tools to fabricate and assemble complex prototypical mechanical and electrical systems that support the designs created by their engineering colleagues. M&P Technicians are often called upon to support complex mock-ups in multiple sites and to participate in installations for new or renovated attractions. These are hands-on technical positions that demand advanced training in various trades.

Animation Production is responsible for the design, fabrication, assembly, troubleshooting installation and commissioning of highly prototypical and cutting-edge show systems that include but not limited to: Animated figures, Animated Props, Show Action Equipment, Special Effects, and Show Control cabinets that interface with multiple disciplines. Animation and Production use their hands and tools to fabricate and assemble complex prototypical mechanical systems and are required to stay current with industry standards and advancing technology.
