Salary

Skills Required

• Gravity Sketchintermediate
• consumer roboticsintermediate
• generative design toolsintermediate
• premium CMFintermediate

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of Design/Innovation, research & development, manufacturing, process, industrial engineering, or related experience (experience, 5 years)
• Experience directly working with engineering teams (experience)
• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or related field (degree in industrial design)
• Expert-level proficiency in Gravity Sketch, Rhino, Vizcom Ai, SubD modeling, Blender, Plasticity, or Alias Concept with demonstrated ability to sculpt balanced forms in days, not weeks (experience)
• Portfolio demonstrating exceptional sense of proportion, visual hierarchy, and unified aesthetic across multi-component devices. (experience)
• Intuitive grasp of dynamic kinematic clearances, packaging volumes for motors/electronics, and thermal management considerations (experience)
• Proven ability to maintain clean layer organization, logical parting line intent, and deliver clean STEP/mesh files ready for downstream technical surfacing (experience)

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or equivalent advanced study (degree in industrial design)
• Experience in consumer robotics (Boston Dynamics, DJI, Skydio), high-end powersports/motorcycle studios (CanAm, Yamaha, Honda R&D, Zero), or automotive concept styling (experience)
• Proficiency in generative design tools (Grasshopper/Rhino) and digital sculpting (ZBrush) for organic/biological form references (experience)
• Basic understanding of die-cast and composite manufacturing (DFM) realities to keep concept forms grounded in producibility (experience)
• Ability to articulate specific highlight curves, curvature expectations, and surface quality intent to technical modelers (experience)
• Experience designing for kinematic/articulating systems where covers, cowlings, and fairings move without visual or physical interference (experience)
• Background in premium CMF (Color, Material, Finish) development and hardware interaction design (experience)

Responsibilities

• Rapid 3D Form & Volume Exploration: Quickly rough out, test, and iterate on complex multi-part robotic enclosures, articulating fairings, and structural chassis using Rhino, SubD, Alias Concept, or Blender.
• Unified Architecture: Establish a cohesive visual brand language across the entire robot —ensuring seamless aesthetic and proportional transitions between moving parts.
• Dynamic Articulation & Clearances: Explore and resolve how physical panels interact, reveal internal mechanisms, and clear dynamic ranges of motion.
• Design-to-Surfacing Handshake: Deliver organized, proportion-locked concept CAD envelopes (SubD / clean NURBS) with clear design intent, character lines, and highlight priorities to the Technical Surface Designer.
• Cross-Functional Synthesis: Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Motion/Robotics, and Hardware leadership to wrap high-density motor packs, cooling ducts, battery modules, and sensor arrays into an appealing, functional envelope.
