Industrial Designer - US Based

Bachelor’s degree required. 4–10+ years of experience designing physical hardware products (consumer electronics, IoT devices, appliances, or smart home products preferred). Strong portfolio that demonstrates end-to-end design work from sketch to mass production. Expertise in design tools (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, Keyshot, Adobe Suite, etc.). Deep understanding of manufacturing processes (injection molding, die casting, CNC, soft goods, assembly methods, CMF). Experience working with OEMs and contract manufacturers, ideally in Korea or Taiwan. Ability to collaborate with engineers and convert constraints into elegant, manufacturable design. Comfortable with rapid iteration, ambiguity, and shaping an early-stage product from scratch. Passion for creating beautiful, high-quality, user-centric products. Background in designing smart home devices, IoT products, or architectural/consumer-grade installations. Familiarity with smart materials, thin films, electronics packaging, or environmental product design. Experience building design systems or brand language for a first-generation product. Prior startup experience or zero-to-one product launches. Outstanding written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work in a fast-paced, rapidly growing company and handle a wide variety of challenges, deadlines, and a diverse array of contacts.

Lead the full industrial design process: concept sketches → CAD → prototyping → DFM → final production design. Create a cohesive product identity and design language. Work closely with hardware, materials science, and firmware engineers for seamless integration. Translate engineering constraints into elegant, user-friendly design solutions. Develop and refine CMF (Color, Material, Finish) choices. Build prototypes and iterate quickly. Prepare detailed design documentation for manufacturing. Collaborate with global OEMs and contract manufacturers for DFM and production readiness. Conduct usability studies, refine ergonomics, and inform product experience decisions.
