Senior Industrial Designer, Fauna

Job :  |  Services LLC

As a Senior 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.

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 appearance critical areas.

Cosmetic Finish & CMF

• Define and document cosmetic finish specifications for molded and machined parts.
• Develop and manage CMF documentation: material callouts, color standards, finish samples, and approval criteria for production.
• Source and evaluate finish and texture options in collaboration with tooling vendors and surface finish suppliers.
• Maintain cosmetic appearance standards and support first article cosmetic inspection criteria.

Cross-Functional Design Support

• Work with the team to evaluate cosmetic samples and prototypes against intent – communicating clearly what is acceptable and what needs correction.
• Support design reviews by preparing clear visual references, annotated models, and finish sample boards.
• Assist in evaluating and selecting materials and finishes for new components during NPI.
• Contribute to maintaining a consistent, coherent product language across the robot’s exterior.

• 8+ years of design and innovation, research and development work experience.
• Experience with design and innovation and research and development.
• Experience in management of engineering design projects.
• Experience using business or technical software like MS Excel, MS Project, and CAD software.

• Master’s degree in Engineering (any domain) or foreign equivalent, Operations, Business Administration, or a related field.
• Knowledge of concepts such as system architecture, optimization, system dynamics, system analysis, statistical analysis, reliability analysis, and decision making.
• Experience with complex automated material handling equipment, packaging technologies, and high‑speed manufacturing systems.
• Experience with design‑in‑safety.
• Experience with process design based on Lean Principles.
