Industrial Designer

The role

You will work with cross functional teams to develop and refine innovative concepts for robotics systems. This includes product vision, definition, architecture, CMF, and DFM through sketching, 3D modeling, and prototyping.

What you will do

• Translate user needs, design insights, and technical requirements into industrial design solutions.
• Drive the industrial design process from early concept exploration through detailed design, prototyping, and manufacturing.
• Develop and refine design concepts through sketching, 3D modeling, visualization, and physical prototyping.
• Collaborate with engineering, product, and manufacturing teams to navigate technical constraints.
• Independently manage design workstreams and balance competing priorities.
• Communicate design decisions effectively across teams.
• Contribute to adjacent creative and design initiatives.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional industrial design experience.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating high-quality design work on realized physical products.
• Refined visual sensibility and strong design fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with design for manufacturing (DFM).
• Experience with rapid prototyping across a variety of materials, methods, and tools.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software such as SolidWorks, Rhino, Alias, CATIA, or equivalent.
• Proficiency in 3D visualization and rendering tools such as KeyShot, Cinema 4D, or equivalent.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Willing to travel.
• Must have and maintain US work authorization.

Nice to have

• Experience incorporating physical-product user experience (UX) considerations into industrial design for complex hardware systems.
• Experience designing products that integrate mechanical, electrical, and other engineering constraints, particularly in robotics or related industries.

Benefits

• Relocation stipend if relocating to join the Santa Clara office and currently live more than 50 miles outside the office location.
• Comprehensive benefits
