Lead Concept Industrial Designer

We are seeking a visionary Lead Concept Industrial Designer to translate the Design Directors aesthetic vision into the form language and unified physical identity of our next-generation robotic platforms. You will own early 2D/3D ideation volumetric packaging and proportional developmentworking at high velocity to explore iterate and define what our robots look and feel like before handing off to technical surfacing.

Key job responsibilities
- Rapid 3D Form & Volume Exploration: Quickly rough out test and iterate on complex multi-part robotic enclosures articulating fairings and structural chassis using Rhino SubD Alias Concept or Blender.

- Unified Architecture: Establish a cohesive visual brand language across the entire robot ensuring seamless aesthetic and proportional transitions between moving parts.

- Dynamic Articulation & Clearances: Explore and resolve how physical panels interact reveal internal mechanisms and clear dynamic ranges of motion.

- Design-to-Surfacing Handshake: Deliver organized proportion-locked concept CAD envelopes (SubD / clean NURBS) with clear design intent character lines and highlight priorities to the Technical Surface Designer.

- Cross-Functional Synthesis: Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering Motion/Robotics and Hardware leadership to wrap high-density motor packs cooling ducts battery modules and sensor arrays into an appealing functional envelope.

- 5 years of Design/Innovation research & development manufacturing process industrial engineering or related experience
- Experience directly working with engineering teams
- Bachelors degree in Industrial Design Transportation Design or related field
- Expert-level proficiency in Gravity Sketch Rhino Vizcom Ai SubD modeling Blender Plasticity or Alias Concept with demonstrated ability to sculpt balanced forms in days not weeks
- Portfolio demonstrating exceptional sense of proportion visual hierarchy and unified aesthetic across multi-component devices.
- Intuitive grasp of dynamic kinematic clearances packaging volumes for motors/electronics and thermal management considerations
- Proven ability to maintain clean layer organization logical parting line intent and deliver clean STEP/mesh files ready for downstream technical surfacing

- Masters degree in Industrial Design Transportation Design or equivalent advanced study
- Experience in consumer robotics (Boston Dynamics DJI Skydio) high-end powersports/motorcycle studios (CanAm Yamaha Honda R&D Zero) or automotive concept styling
- Proficiency in generative design tools (Grasshopper/Rhino) and digital sculpting (ZBrush) for organic/biological form references
- Basic understanding of die-cast and composite manufacturing (DFM) realities to keep concept forms grounded in producibility
- Ability to articulate specific highlight curves curvature expectations and surface quality intent to technical modelers
- Experience designing for kinematic/articulating systems where covers cowlings and fairings move without visual or physical interference
- Background in premium CMF (Color Material Finish) development and hardware interaction design
