Sr. Industrial Designer

Другое

• Space is a warfighting domain. Company seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.
• OUR MISSION
• Company delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.
• OUR VALUES
• Be the offset.   We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
• What would it take?  We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
• It’s the people.  Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.
• YOUR MISSION  
• Creatives like you are essential to this mission — to inspire, define, and build. This is some of the most meaningful work you’ll ever do, in an industry devoted to protecting the people you care about.  
• We’re looking for an experienced industrial designer to be part of our new hardware design team at an early and exciting moment for the company. This is a fully hands-on role — sketching, modelling, prototyping, and detailing real hardware, and whatever else the mission demands. There is no team to manage and no agency to brief; your artistic talent is front and center and your own hands are on the work. You’ll work directly with our design leadership and with the engineers building the hardware, in a team being built for people who care as much about the craft as the mission.  
• WHY THIS ROLE  
• There’s no established playbook for how space security hardware should look. No legacy design language handed down from a fifty-year-old program. No committee approving your surfaces. What you craft here will shape how an emerging and critical industry presents itself — and how seriously it is taken.  
• You’ll have real impact on our space hardware with some of what of what you design making it on-orbit, and the rest will be seen at the highest levels of government and military.  
• If you’ve ever wanted your craft to carry real weight — this is that job.  
• RESPONSIBILITIES  — hands-on hardware design  
• Help us build our family of products. Take hardware from concept to production — sketch, model, prototype, refine, and detail  
• Work through the real compromises with hardware engineering — packaging, thermal, structural, harness routing — and keep the design intent alive on the other side  
• Prototype physically and quickly. Print it, mock it up, hold it, and be honest about what you learn  
• Produce the renders, animations, and drawings that let executives, customers, and manufacturing partners see exactly what we intend to build  
• Bring impeccable design and artistic vision into everything we do, make us stand out  
• QUALIFICATIONS  - We hire for talent and potential, not pedigree.  
• Show us an amazing portfolio of hardware you designed — including the sketches and the ugly middle, not only the hero renders  
• Strong surfacing and CAD skills in whatever you’re fastest in, and comfort working from and back into engineering CAD  
• Practical manufacturing knowledge — machining, sheet metal, additive, molding, coatings and finishes — and a habit of designing for how a thing actually gets made  
• Consumer, automotive, aerospace, robotics, medical, and industrial equipment backgrounds all fit. Defense and space knowledge is great, we don’t expect it  
• An active security clearance is a bonus, not a requirement  
• We work in Adobe Creative Suite, Blender or Cinema 4D for visualization, and alongside engineering CAD — comfort with these is a plus, mastery of your own toolset matters more  
• WHAT WE EXPECT  
• Leverage your experience to work quickly and efficiently, we’re a lean team, everyone needs to pitch in and move fast  
• Take ownership of design problems and see them through, space is hard  
• Turn your hand to what’s needed  
• If you like this role but your skills or experience don’t quite fit… well apply anyway, or look at our other hardware design role and see if that’s a better match:  DIRECTOR, INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
