Lead the industrial design of connected products from first sketch to tooled part — form, ergonomics, CMF and DFM — with the engineers who build the internals and the workshop that prototypes your ideas a floor away.
What you'll do
- Own industrial design across concurrent client programs: concept sketching, CAD development, CMF and design intent documentation.
- Drive human-factors and ergonomics studies with real prototypes — 3D printed, machined and soft-tooled on our workshop floor.
- Partner with mechanical and electronics engineers to resolve design-for-manufacture trade-offs without losing the design story.
- Prepare tooling-ready surface models and support supplier DFM reviews through to first articles.
- Present design directions to clients and mentor mid-level designers across the studio.
- What we look for
- 7+ years of industrial design on shipped physical products, ideally electronics-enclosed.
- A portfolio showing form development, CMF sensibility and manufactured outcomes.
- Strong surfacing CAD (Fusion 360, Solid Works or Creo) and rapid prototyping fluency.
- Working knowledge of injection moulding, CNC and sheet-metal processes.
- Clear client-facing communication and design storytelling.
