Job summary

Artifact Uprising is seeking a Physical Product Designer to own the design and development of our physical product portfolio. You will create end-to-end designs, build 3D CAD models, and produce production-ready tech packs for our manufacturing partners.

You’ll focus on graphic design for product graphics while maintaining a strong product sensibility. The role reports to the Creative Director and collaborates with Merchandising on roadmaps and with suppliers worldwide.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of professional experience in industrial design, physical product design, or a closely related field.
• Strong CAD skills at a design-for-manufacturing level; Rhino preferred, SolidWorks or Fusion 360 also considered.
• Proficiency with a rendering tool (KeyShot or similar).
• Working knowledge of materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes in paper, metals, woods, stone, and glass.
• Strong graphic design sensibility: typography, layout, and an eye for what's on-brand and on-trend.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign).
• A portfolio that shows both physical product thinking (CAD, tech packs, prototypes) and applied graphic design work.
• Self-motivated with strong workflow discipline; comfortable owning cross-functional relationships independently.
• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Physical Product Design, or equivalent portfolio-demonstrated experience.
• Preferred but not required: experience designing paper goods and/or books.

Responsibilities

• Design physical products end to end: concept, form, materials, finishes, and construction.
• Build 3D CAD models and renders at a near design-for-manufacturing level of precision.
• Produce comprehensive tech packs (specs, dimensions, materials, construction notes) that our manufacturing partners can build from without back-and-forth.
• Design covers, cards, and other printed/surface graphics that are on-brand and on-trend.
• Support the design of packaging concepts across structural form and surface graphics, including mailers, gift boxes, and a brand-forward unboxing experience.
• Partner with the Merchandising team on the vendor sampling process: spec, sample, review, iterate, approve.
• Partner with the Merchandising team on new product innovation, redesigns, and roadmap feasibility.
• Maintain the level of fastidiousness and precision required to translate a design intent into a physical, manufacturable object.
