• You are a collaborative advocate. You possess the interpersonal skills to defend user-driven design principles while working seamlessly across global engineering and marketing teams
• You embrace the future. You see AI and emerging tech not as tools to replace craft, but as co-pilots that accelerate your ability to visualize and solve problems
• Education:
  
  Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a closely related field is required
• Experience:
  
  0–3 years of professional experience
• Software Mastery:
• 2D:
  High-level proficiency in sketching and the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator)
• 3D:
  Expert-level skills in Solid Works, Creo/Pro-E, or similar parametric CAD software
• Motion:
  Competency in Adobe After Effects or similar tools for storytelling and product visualization
• AI Fluency:
  Demonstrated experience with (or a strong appetite for) AI-powered design and visualization tools to enhance output and efficiency
• Portfolio: A compelling portfolio showcasing both academic and professional work, emphasizing hardware development, process thinking, and finished executions
• Bachelors degree with 0+ years of industrial engineering experience

• The Experience Design and Research (EDR) team is a cross‑functional group focused on Human Centered Design and Research that fuels the next generation of experiences and solutions for our mission‑critical customers and users
• The team consists of Industrial Designers, UI/UX, Service Designers, and Researchers who design for diverse and challenging Professional‑grade markets
• Police, Fire, and Commercial user groups all have very distinct and tangible design problems; whether it’s the dirt, grime, and high noise of industrial environments, gloves and turnout gear for fire, or managing intense cognitive loads during police action
• Our team is exploring, testing, and designing for emerging technologies and integrations that will define the next generation of commercial and public solutions
• Your designs will help us solve for safer workplaces and communities
• We are looking for an Industrial Designer who thrives where high‑stakes utility meets human‑centered innovation. In this role, you won’t just be making "products"; you will be designing mission‑critical hardware for extreme environments
• You will join a multidisciplinary powerhouse of cognitive scientists, human factors engineers, and interaction designers to transform ambiguity into life‑saving clarity
• Concept to Reality:
  Create world‑class hardware designs in a fast‑paced environment, moving from "the real problem" to high‑fidelity solutions
• Cross‑Functional Integration:
  Partner with behavioral scientists and engineers to ensure designs are grounded in user requirements and technical feasibility
• Evidence‑Based Design:
  Use research data and use cases to judge concept effectiveness, ensuring every curve and button serves a functional purpose
• Next‑Gen Workflow:
  Leveraging AI as a creative partner for rapid brainstorming, ideation, and visual storytelling—using it to accelerate the path from a blank page to a compelling narrative
• Storytelling:
  Communicate the "why" behind the "what" using animations, videos, and presentations to highlight the user journey
