Industrial​/Product Designer

Company Overview:
is developing the next generation of autonomous delivery robots, designing integrated hardware and software systems that operate at scale across the U.S., Latin America, and Asia. Our Global Design & Product Innovation team defines the industrial design language, user experience, and physical product architecture of our robots. We are a fast-paced, collaborative environment focused on building real products that exist in-and interact with-the real world.

The Role:
We are seeking a Industrial/Product Designer to support the full development cycle of our robotic platforms-from early concept exploration to prototyping and field validation in live deployments. You will help translate functional and technical requirements into thoughtful, user-centered, manufacturable product solutions. This role is hands-on and cross-functional: you will collaborate closely with Hardware, Robotics, Software, and Business teams.

Key Responsibilities

Design & Development

• Conduct user research, observation, and field testing to inform product decisions.
• Develop physical and interactive design solutions aligned with 's visual and functional design guidelines.
• Create prototypes and support CMF (Color, Material & Finish) exploration and iterative refinement.
• Provide mechanical design support and participate in conceptual and functional prototyping.
• Contribute manufacturing and DFM (Design for Manufacturing) input to guide feasibility and production planning.

Collaboration & Execution

• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including Hardware & Manufacturing, Robotics & AI, Product, and Leadership.
• Support internal and external design reviews and validation sessions.
• Document design rationale and communicate clearly across teams and stakeholders.
• Contribute design support for new deployment formats and emerging business lines.

Adaptability

• Work in testing environments across labs, field sites, and live operational deployments.
• Respond quickly to learnings and iterate solutions in short cycles.
• Travel occasionally for testing, supplier visits, and deployment support (as needed).

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Product Engineering, or related field.

Experience

• Experience designing physical products, ideally with exposure to hardware, robotics, or consumer electronics.
• Understanding of manufacturing processes, CMF development, and DFM principles.
• Experience participating in prototyping, iterative design cycles, and usability testing.

Skills

• Strong aesthetic sensibility and design intuition.
• Ability to communicate concepts clearly through sketches, 3D models, and prototypes.
• Familiarity with:
  • Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator)
  • Fusion 360 or Solid Works
  • Blender (or equivalent 3D visualization tools)
  • Digital sketching tools (e.g., Procreate)
• Intermediate to advanced English communication skills.

Attributes

• Proactive, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity.
• Hands-on maker mindset with strong attention to detail.
• Collaborative and effective communicator.
• Ability to balance creativity with technical feasibility.

Why Join

• Work at the forefront of robotics and real-world autonomous systems.
• Influence design direction across global deployments.
• Strong opportunities for growth and multidisciplinary learning.
• Competitive compensation package, including salary and equity.
• Dynamic environment surrounded by passionate, mission-driven teams.
