About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and versatile Senior Product Designer to join our innovative team.  In this role, you will play a pivotal role in conceptualizing, designing, and refining products that blend mechanical engineering principles with industrial design aesthetics.  The ideal candidate is a self-motivated problem-solver with a strong mechanical background, capable of thriving in collaborative team environments as well as working independently on complex projects.  You will contribute to the full product lifecycle, from ideation to manufacturing-ready designs, ensuring our products are functional, user-friendly, and manufacturable on scale.  If you are a fast learner with a "can-do" attitude, eager to tackle challenges in a dynamic setting, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

The Job Role is focused on the following :

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (including engineers, product managers, and stakeholders) to develop innovative product concepts that meet user needs and business goals
  • Create detailed 3D models, prototypes, and technical drawings using SolidWorks, ensuring designs are optimized for manufacturability, materials selection, and cost-efficiency
  • Conduct design reviews, iterate on feedback, and perform mechanical analysis to validate product performance and durability
  • Integrate basic electronic components into designs, considering factors like wiring, enclosures, and user interfaces
  • Produce high-quality visual presentations, renderings, and documentation using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Microsoft Office suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
  • Manage design files and revisions through SolidWorks PDM (Product Data Management) systems to maintain version control and team collaboration
  • Research and apply knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes (e.g., injection moulding, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication), and design for manufacturing (DFM) principles to ensure feasible and scalable production.
  • Prototype and test designs, incorporating user feedback and iterating rapidly to meet project timelines
  • Work autonomously on assigned tasks while contributing to group brainstorming sessions and problem-solving initiatives

Competencies

Key requirements should include :

  • Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field.  A master's degree would be preferable
  • Proven experience (3+ years preferred) in industrial and mechanical product design, with a portfolio showcasing successful projects from concept to production
  • SolidWorks certification at CSWA level or higher, with advanced proficiency in modelling, assemblies, and simulations
  • Hands-on experience with SolidWorks PDM for file management and collaboration
  • Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for creating visual assets, mood boards, and renderings
  • Strong skills in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for documentation, data analysis, and presentations
  • Solid understanding of mechanical principles, including strength of materials, kinematics, and structural integrity
  • In-depth knowledge of materials science, manufacturing techniques, and design for manufacturing (DFM) best practices
  • Basic understanding of electronics, such as circuit integration, PCB enclosures, and sensor placement
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in team settings as well as independently, managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Fast learner with a proactive, "can-do" attitude, adaptable to evolving project requirements and technologies

    • Experience

    The Job Role requires :

  • Minimum of 5-10 years in a similar role.
  • Experience in industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, medical devices, or consumer goods
  • Familiarity with additional CAD tools (e.g., Rhino, Fusion 360) or prototyping methods (e.g., 3D printing, CNC)
  • Portfolio highlighting projects involving electronics integration or sustainable design practices
    • Criar um alerta de emprego para esta pesquisa
