We design future experience-driven innovation opportunities with empathy and compassion for people across the Samsung Electronics portfolio. We uncover unmet and latent user needs through human-centered research and transform emerging technologies into meaningful product experiences that define future product categories.

We are looking for talented designers, strategists, researchers, and creative technologists to join our group and bring new energy to our process. You should be ready to help at all stages of product design, from identifying unmet needs and discovering new design opportunities to developing visionary concepts and creatively applying emerging technologies to solve real user problems and create radically new experiences.

Samsung Design Innovation Center is seeking a talented and highly motivated Industrial Designer to imagine, develop, and communicate the next generation of consumer products across Samsung's expanding device portfolio, with a particular focus on emerging product categories including wearable devices and future hardware experiences.

This role is for a designer who combines strong Industrial Design fundamentals with a passion for exploring new creative possibilities enabled by Artificial Intelligence. You will work alongside senior design leadership and multidisciplinary teams at SDIC to explore how AI can amplify creativity, accelerate design exploration, and expand the way future products are conceived, visualized, and communicated.

You will be expected to embrace AI-native Industrial Design as part of your everyday creative process - using emerging AI capabilities throughout ideation, concept exploration, visualization, storytelling, and iterative design development. We are not simply looking for a designer who uses AI to generate images. We are looking for someone who demonstrates strong design judgment and understands how to use AI as a creative partner to explore broader design possibilities and elevate the quality of the final design.

The ideal candidate combines excellent Industrial Design craft with curiosity, experimentation, and a willingness to continuously learn. You should be comfortable exploring ambiguous opportunities, generating a wide range of ideas, developing compelling product concepts, and collaborating with diverse disciplines to bring those ideas to life.

You will work closely with the Lead Industrial Designer and other competencies within SDIC, as well as Industrial Design teams in Korea, to develop future product concepts and explore new AI-native design methodologies. Through this collaboration, you will contribute to evolving how AI can augment the Industrial Design process while maintaining a high standard of design quality, craftsmanship, and human-centered thinking.

We are interested in passionate and self-motivated individuals who are comfortable in a highly fluid environment. You will bring strong design talent, curiosity, experimentation, and a desire to continuously evolve your creative process. We will provide the multidisciplinary environment and opportunities to explore new ways of shaping the future of Samsung products.
