Job description

Hims & Hers is the leading health and wellness platform, on a mission to help the world feel great through the power of better health. We are redefining healthcare by putting the customer first and delivering access to care that is affordable, accessible, and personal, from diagnosis to treatment to delivery. No two people are the same, so we provide access to personalized care designed for results. By normalizing health & wellness challenges and innovating on their solutions, we’re making better health outcomes easier to achieve.

Hims & Hers is a public company, traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “HIMS.” To learn more about the brand and offerings, you can visit hims.com/about and hims.com/how-it-works. For information on the company’s outstanding benefits, culture, and its talent‑first flexible/remote work approach, see below and visit www.hims.com/careers-professionals.

About the Role:

This is a great opportunity to bring deep industrial design craft to how Hims & Hers builds the physical products that carry our brand into people's homes and daily routines. As a Staff Industrial Designer, you'll bring expert-level craft across multiple design disciplines and help build the design systems and frameworks that scale across our projects.

You’ll be trusted with complex, ambiguous problems across multiple initiatives — anticipating design challenges before they surface and proposing scalable, innovative solutions. You’ll shape creative direction for major projects, making independent decisions that meaningfully affect team output and brand quality.

This is a defined-term contract engagement supporting our industrial design team's active product roadmap. If you love solving hard, ambiguous design problems, partnering closely with cross-functional teams, and mentoring the designers around you, we’d love to talk.

This is a temporary position for 12 months.

You Will:

CRAFT EXPERTISE & DESIGN SYSTEMS

• Bring expert craft across disciplines

  • Apply expert-level skill across multiple creative disciplines — sketching, CAD surfacing, CMF, and prototyping — to deliver work that holds up against a high craft bar.

  • Contribute to and help scale the design systems and frameworks that keep quality and consistency high as our project portfolio grows.

  • Use deep technical and conceptual expertise to drive innovation without sacrificing consistency across the products you touch.

• Solve complex, ambiguous problems

  • Resolve complex, ambiguous design problems across multiple initiatives, not just a single project.

  • Anticipate design challenges before they become blockers, and propose scalable, innovative solutions.

  • Bring a point of view to ambiguous briefs and translate them into concrete design principles, sketches, and prototypes.

PROJECT OWNERSHIP & CROSS-FUNCTIONAL PARTNERSHIP

• Shape creative direction for major projects

  • Own creative direction for major projects or programs within the portfolio, making independent decisions that meaningfully affect team output and brand quality.

  • Partner with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing partners from concept through production handoff, balancing brand, manufacturability, and cost.

  • Track tolerances, material call-outs, and vendor capabilities so design intent survives the path to production.

• Partner across teams & mentor peers

  • Partner across design, engineering, and operations to drive creative cohesion on shared programs.

  • Lead discussions that clarify vision and priorities among cross-functional stakeholders.

  • Mentor peers and help elevate collaboration and craft standards across the design team.

• Regulatory & compliance fluency

  • Develop working knowledge of relevant health and consumer product compliance and safety requirements (e.g., biocompatibility, electrical safety, packaging and labeling), and build them into your design process early.

  • Translate compliance and human-factors requirements into design criteria you and your engineering/regulatory partners can work from.

• Creative craft & prototyping

  • Maintain hands‑on fluency across sketching, 3D CAD (Rhino, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360), rendering (KeyShot or similar), and physical prototyping (3D printing, foam, soft‑goods mockups).

  • Bring working fluency across materials and manufacturing processes — injection molding, overmolding, extrusion, sheet metal, soft goods — enough to make informed trade‑offs with vendors and engineers.

You Have:

• 8+ years in industrial design, with meaningful experience designing physical consumer or health/medical hardware that has shipped at scale.

• A portfolio demonstrating expert craft across multiple creative disciplines, from concept sketches to shipped, manufactured products. Please include a link to your portfolio with your application.

• Experience contributing to design systems, CMF standards, or frameworks that scale across multiple projects.

• Demonstrated ability to resolve complex, ambiguous design problems across more than one initiative at a time.

• Deep fluency in industrial design tools: sketching, 3D CAD (Rhino/SolidWorks/Fusion 360), rendering (KeyShot), and hands‑on prototyping.

• Working knowledge of manufacturing processes (injection molding, overmolding, extrusion, sheet metal, soft goods) and DFM principles.

• Experience partnering directly with engineering and operations teams to take products from concept to production.

• Demonstrated ability to mentor peers and elevate collaboration standards, even without formal management responsibility.

• Comfort working independently in a fast‑paced, ambiguous, remote environment as a contractor embedded with a small design team, including periodic travel as needed.

Our Benefits (there are more but here are some highlights):

• Competitive salary & equity compensation for full‑time roles

• Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days

• Comprehensive health benefits including medical, dental & vision, and parental leave

• 401k benefits with employer matching contribution

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects diverse perspectives and prioritizes ethics, wellness, and a strong sense of belonging. If you're excited about this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you're not sure if your background or experience is a perfect match.
