You'll be a key player in a fast-moving, agile environment, driving creative vision and execution while collaborating with cross-functional teams to overcome challenges and deliver premium, market-ready solutions. We want a designer who brings a growth mindset, thrives in ambiguity, and is energized by turning complex constraints into world-class product experiences.

  • Deliver clean, manufacturable CAD and prototypes that reflect an obsession with fit, finish, and user delight.

DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING WITHOUT COMPROMISE
