Industrial Designer
Position Overview
We are seeking an Industrial Designer to develop user-centered product concepts and take designs from initial research and sketches through prototyping and production. The role combines creativity with engineering thinking: you will create elegant, manufacturable solutions that meet functional requirements, user needs, and business goals while working closely with engineering, manufacturing, and product teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct user research and market analysis to inform product requirements and design direction.
- Generate conceptual sketches, renderings, and 3D CAD models to explore form, function, and ergonomics.
- Develop detailed CAD models and engineering drawings suitable for prototyping and manufacturing.
- Build and test physical prototypes using rapid prototyping, model-making, and workshop tools; iterate designs based on test results.
- Collaborate with mechanical engineers and manufacturing partners to ensure designs are feasible, cost-effective, and meet quality standards.
- Select appropriate materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes with attention to durability, sustainability, and cost.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to optimize production.
- Prepare and present design proposals, specifications, and rationale to stakeholders and cross-functional teams.
- Maintain clear documentation of design decisions, revisions, and prototyping outcomes.
- Ensure compliance with relevant safety, regulatory, and environmental requirements throughout the design process.
Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field.
- 3+ years of professional experience in industrial or product design, with a strong portfolio demonstrating concept-to-production work.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360) and experience producing engineering drawings.
- Strong sketching, visualization, and rendering skills to communicate ideas quickly and effectively.
- Hands-on prototyping and model-making experience, including familiarity with rapid prototyping tools and workshop equipment.
- Solid understanding of materials, manufacturing processes (injection molding, sheet metal, casting), and DFM/DFA principles.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills for working with engineering, manufacturing, and product teams.
- Problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
- Experience integrating engineering considerations into aesthetic and ergonomic design; familiarity with sustainability practices is a plus.
