Your designs will help us solve for safer workplaces and communities.

Job Description

The Opportunity
We are looking for an Industrial Designer who thrives where high-stakes utility meets human-centered innovation. In this role, you won't just be making "products"; you will be designing mission-critical hardware for extreme environments. You will join a multidisciplinary powerhouse of cognitive scientists, human factors engineers, and interaction designers to transform ambiguity into life-saving clarity.

About You

You are a purposeful innovator. You don't just design for aesthetics; you design for the safety and efficiency of global users in high-pressure situations.
You thrive in the "Gray Area." You seek out complex challenges and use design thinking to distill them into meaningful, intuitive hardware experiences.
You are a collaborative advocate. You possess the interpersonal skills to defend user-driven design principles while working seamlessly across global engineering and marketing teams.
You embrace the future. You see AI and emerging tech not as tools to replace craft, but as co-pilots that accelerate your ability to visualize and solve problems.

What You’ll Do

Concept to Reality: Create world-class hardware designs in a fast-paced environment, moving from "the real problem" to high-fidelity solutions.
Cross-Functional Integration: Partner with behavioral scientists and engineers to ensure designs are grounded in user requirements and technical feasibility.
Evidence-Based Design: Use research data and use cases to judge concept effectiveness, ensuring every curve and button serves a functional purpose.
Next-Gen Workflow: Leverage AI as a creative partner for rapid brainstorming, ideation, and visual storytelling—using it to accelerate the path from a blank page to a compelling narrative.
Storytelling: Communicate the "why" behind the "what" using animations, videos, and presentations to highlight the user journey.

Technical Skills & Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a closely related field is required.
Experience: 0–3 years of professional experience.
Software Mastery:
2D: High-level proficiency in sketching and the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator).
3D: Expert-level skills in SolidWorks, Creo/Pro-E, or similar parametric CAD software.
Motion: Competency in Adobe After Effects or similar tools for storytelling and product visualization.
AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience with (or a strong appetite for) AI-powered design and visualization tools to enhance output and efficiency.
Portfolio: A compelling portfolio showcasing both academic and professional work, emphasizing hardware development, process thinking, and finished executions.

Target Base Salary Range: $70,000 USD - $80,000 USD
