Junior Designer

• Contributing to Design Innovation:
  Support the design of novel and unique experience solutions to meaningful customer problems, helping identify design opportunities and actionable concepts that align with user needs, business goals, design principles, and technical capabilities.
• Building Prototyping & Visualization
  
  Skills:
  
  Develop your craft in rough prototyping ('build to learn') and design visualization, with growing emphasis on physical enablers. You'll iterate on design solutions based on customer, user, and system feedback under the guidance of senior team members.
• Supporting Insight-Driven Design:
  Assist in translating customer and user insights into desirable, feasible product concepts — a core skill you'll continue to sharpen as you grow in the role.
• Engaging Across the Full Design Process:
  Actively participate in every stage of the design process, from inspiration and research to prototyping and vision communication, gaining exposure to integrated digital-physical experience design across brand, products, and services.
• Developing Systems Thinking:
  Begin applying systems thinking to physical experience design, learning how touchpoints connect across a service journey for consumer and business applications.
• Practicing Multidisciplinary
  
  Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with cross-functional teammates — including engineering, planning, and research — to build strong working relationships and develop the versatility needed to move fluidly between disciplines in a small, agile studio.

• Learning Experience Content Strategy:
  Support the design and iteration of experience concepts, helping confirm feasibility within program constraints while learning how strategy translates into execution.

This position is designed for growth. You'll be embedded in a skunk works-style studio that values speed, experimentation, and versatility over rigid specialization — an ideal environment for a junior designer looking to rapidly expand their multidisciplinary capabilities across physical, digital, and service design.

You'll have...

• Bachelor's degree in industrial design, transportation design, or a related field.
• Some experience (internship, co-op, academic, or entry-level) in a consumer product industry, transportation sector or supplier, design consultancy, or similar field.
• Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite design tools.
• Familiarity with at least one 3D modeling software application (e.g., Alias Auto Studio, Rhino, or Blender).
• Familiarity with relevant presentation applications (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, or similar).

Even better, you may have...

• 0–2 years of industrial design or transportation design studio experience (internships and academic project work welcomed).
• Strong curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to experiment with features and functional solutions.
• Emerging ability to translate customer and research inputs into relevant, desirable product concepts.
• Developing communication skills through presentation and storytelling.
• Growing product design aesthetic sensibility.
• Foundational sketching, visualization, modeling, and presentation skills.
• Some 2D application skills (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.).
• Some 3D application skills (e.g., Alias Auto Studio, VRED, Rhino, Maya, or Blender).
• Genuine enthusiasm for contributing to projects in a multidisciplinary team environment, with a willingness to stretch beyond a single design discipline.
• Hands-on experience or interest in building low-fidelity prototypes (e.g., cardboard, foam core, wood, laser cutting, 3D printing) and a desire to learn production and prototyping methods.
• Interest in learning to translate design vision into animated story-form using digital presentation tools (including AI visualization tools).
