Job description
As an Industrial Designer, you will be embedded in the mechanical design process, working closely with Design Engineers and the broader hardware team to develop and refine the surfaced geometry of robot exterior parts. This role will translate design direction into production-ready Class A surfaces, owning cosmetic finish specifications, and supporting CMF decisions that hold up through tooling and manufacturing. You're someone who gets excited about getting a parting line right and knows how to have a productive conversation with a tooling vendor about texture. Key job responsibilities: Surfacing & Production CAD: - Own Class A surface development for injection molded exterior parts, working from approved concept geometry or sketches to production-intent 3D models - Collaborate closely with Design Engineers to ensure surfaced geometry is DFM-compliant — maintaining appropriate draft, wall thickness, and parting line strategy without compromising design intent - Maintain and refine surface models through tooling development, incorporating feedback from T0/T1 sample reviews - Support 2D cosmetic drawing callouts including surface finish, texture zones, parting line locations, and ap...
