Overview
The Industrial Designer will lead the design of innovative kitchenware products, guiding projects from initial sketches to functioning prototypes. Working in a dynamic design studio, this role emphasizes a hands-on approach, allowing for creative autonomy while collaborating with a mixed team of designers and engineers. The designer will focus on visualizing concepts with 3D CAD techniques mainly in SolidWorks, producing high-quality renders, and developing prototypes that enhance product excitement and manufacturability.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design of kitchenware products from concept to prototype.
- Develop initial designs through sketching and 3D CAD in SolidWorks.
- Produce high-quality renders to visualize new product ideas.
- Build and refine physical prototypes for testing and demonstration.
- Collaborate closely with a mixed team of designers and engineers.
- Iterate on product designs based on feedback and testing results.
- Manage two concurrent design projects with a focus on creativity and innovation.
- Ensure designs are manufacturable while maintaining aesthetic quality.
Requirements
- Proven experience in industrial or product design with a strong portfolio.
- Excellent skills in CAD software, particularly SolidWorks; familiarity with Creo is a plus.
- Exceptional visualization and rendering abilities.
- Hands-on prototyping experience with a proactive, self-starting attitude.
- Ability to work effectively in a collaborative design environment.
- Understanding of manufacturability and design for manufacturing principles.
