Full Job Description
The role

A body-worn capture device lives on a person all day - how it looks, feels, and wears is as important as how it works. As Industrial Designer, you own the form, ergonomics, and CMF (color, material, finish) of our capture hardware, shaping a device people are comfortable wearing and proud to use.

You drive design from concept and form exploration through to a manufacturable product, partnering closely with mechanical, electrical, embedded/firmware, and our Shenzhen manufacturing partners to keep the experience coherent end to end.
Responsibilities
  • Own the industrial design of a body-worn device: form factor, ergonomics, wearability, and human factors for all-day comfort.
  • Define CMF direction - materials, finishes, colors, textures, and surface treatments - and carry it through to production.
  • Explore concepts through sketching, 3D modeling, renders, and physical mockups; iterate quickly with foam, 3D prints, and appearance models.
  • Partner with mechanical engineering to balance aesthetics, ergonomics, and manufacturability, and with brand/marketing to keep the product identity consistent.
  • Refine fit and finish through EVT/DVT/PVT, reviewing parts, tooling marks, and cosmetic quality with manufacturing partners.
Minimum qualifications
  • 5+ years in industrial design with at least one shipped consumer, wearable, or hardware product.
  • Strong concept-to-production design skills: sketching, 3D CAD/surfacing (e.g. Rhino, Fusion, SolidWorks, or Alias), rendering (e.g. KeyShot), and physical prototyping.
  • Deep CMF sensibility and knowledge of materials and high-volume processes - injection molding, overmolding, texturing, and finishing - for plastics and small assemblies.
  • Strong human factors and ergonomics judgment, especially for worn or handheld devices.
  • A portfolio that shows craft, form development, and shipped results.
Preferred qualifications
  • Body-worn, action-camera, or wearable device experience.
  • Experience collaborating with contract manufacturers, ideally in China.
