Job description

Conceptualization & Styling: Generate innovative design concepts, sketches, and 3D models for product enclosures, focusing on form, aesthetics, ergonomics, and color, material, and finish (CMF).

Rapid Prototyping: Operate 3D printers (FDM/SLA) to create physical prototypes and mockups for design validation, visual evaluation, and ergonomic testing.

CAD Modeling & Rendering: Develop detailed 3D CAD models and high-quality photorealistic renders for internal design reviews and marketing materials.

User-Centric Design: Translate user needs, functional requirements, and hardware constraints into practical, visually appealing product designs.

Collaborative Design: Work closely with hardware/electronic engineers to ensure outer enclosure designs properly house PCBs, ports, buttons, and thermal vents while maintaining aesthetic integrity.

Requirements & Qualifications

Education: Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related field.

Experience: Minimum 1–3 years of experience in product design, hardware design, or consumer electronics prototyping (Fresh graduates with a strong portfolio are welcome).

3D CAD Expertise: Proficiency in 3D surface modeling software such as Rhino 3D, Fusion 360, or SolidWorks.

Rendering Skills: Proficiency in KeyShot, Blender, or similar rendering tools to produce photorealistic product visuals.

Hands-on Prototyping: Experience with 3D printing (slicing software, printer operation, post-processing) and physical prototyping.

Design Fundamentals: Strong sketching ability, solid understanding of ergonomics, and strong attention to visual details.

Portfolio: A digital design portfolio (PDF or link) demonstrating design thinking, sketching, 3D modeling, rendering, and physical prototypes is strictly required.
