Industrial Designer

About the position

We are seeking a Remote Industrial Designer who combines creativity with a deep understanding of product usability, ergonomics, and design software. This role focuses on transforming conceptual sketches into tangible, user-centered products—both physical and digital-hybrid—by collaborating across disciplines to create prototypes that scale. The position is remote-eligible and supports a flexible, digital-first work environment using tools like Miro, Figma, Notion, and Slack.

Responsibilities

Design compelling, innovative product concepts rooted in practical application and real user needs; develop 3D models and iterate on design prototypes using industry-standard CAD and rendering tools; conduct design research, trend forecasting, and competitive analysis; partner with engineers and digital developers to align functionality with visual aesthetics; create technical documentation and product specifications for manufacturing handoff; integrate user feedback and usability data into design iterations; maintain quality control and brand consistency; deliver presentation-ready mockups and visual storytelling assets for stakeholder review.

Requirements

Proven experience in industrial or product design (ideally consumer electronics or smart devices); strong portfolio showing end-to-end projects from ideation through prototyping; exceptional proficiency with CAD modeling and rendering software (SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360, KeyShot, V-Ray, Blender); experience translating user research into design decisions; comfort with virtual collaboration in distributed teams and tools such as Figma, Jira, and Asana; working knowledge of design for manufacturing (DFM) principles; excellent visual communication and storytelling skills.

Nice-to-haves

Experience with photorealistic rendering and wireframe visualization; familiarity with AI-driven design automation, sustainability strategies, virtual maker spaces, and 3D printing workflows; prior experience in remote design sprints, async critiques, and leading cross-functional prototyping cycles. Professional development participation and conference experience are also advantageous.
