As an Industrial Designer, you will lead the design of physical products, enhancing brand experience through form, function, and manufacturability. This role involves leading concept ideation, CAD modeling, and prototyping, collaborating across mechanical, electronics, and user-experience domains. You will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, sourcing, user-research, and marketing teams, contributing to product direction decisions and owning the design lifecycle from sketches to production launch.
Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end design projects: develop concept sketches, CAD/3D models, renderings, and physical prototypes
Conduct research into user needs, market trends, materials, manufacturing processes (injection molding, thermoforming, additive manufacturing), and competitive products
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and product to ensure feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with brand and product vision
Build and iterate prototypes (3D prints, machined models, mock-ups), validate usability, aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability
Present design concepts, flows, and prototypes to stakeholders, incorporate feedback, and drive decisions
Contribute to design language, visual identity, and brand consistency across products
Requirements
5+ years of relevant industrial/product-design experience (or equivalent portfolio) in physical-product development
Proven ability to drive design in ambiguous, early-stage spaces and bring clarity to open problems
Proficiency with CAD/3D software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, Alias, Rhino), rendering tools, and comfortable working from sketch through to production
Deep understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, design for manufacturability (DFM), cost drivers, and usability/ergonomics
Excellent communication and collaboration skills; able to engage with engineering, sourcing, manufacturing, and business leads
A bias toward iteration, action, and improvement
A maker mindset: comfortable prototyping, tinkering, exploring new processes, materials, and technologies
Bachelor
-s-degree or higher in Industrial Design, Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
Strong portfolio of physical product design work (consumer, industrial, or hardware preferred)
Demonstrated experience taking products from concept to production release
