Concept Modeling Designer

You get to be a geometry-creation magician in whatever CAD packages and/or styles of modelling (facets, sub-divisional, classical nurbs, etc.) you prefer. Just go fast. You'll be in our open-space studio, side-by-side with designers building the next generation of hardware shipped worldwide by a multi-national corporation, intuiting their directions, taking in conversations, sketches, screenshots, CAD, whatever. Chase all the options (even your own, but ego left at home) to find the right solution.

Responsibilities

• Quickly build and iterate on digital 3D Models of Hardware Products using multiple CAD softwares (sub-divisional, facets, classical nurbs, etc.)
• Facilitate the exploration of design ideas by working with the ID team, capturing their ideas and turning them into digital (and 3D-printable) shapes
• Combine usability, aesthetics, and technical insight to solve complex design problems
• Contribute concepts and problem solving across multiple projects
• Navigate cross-functional teams in a highly collaborative environment

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial design, motion design, art/animation or related field. (Or relevant experience.)
• 5+ years of experience in 3D modeling, 3D art, Industrial Design or a related field
• 2+ years experience of concepting and modeling consumer electronics or wearable tech products
• Demonstrated expertise in 3D modeling with a solid skill set of techniques ranging from sub-divisional, facets, classical nurbs, etc. (Rhino, Alias, 3D Studio Max, Maya, etc.)
• Experience working with imported 3D CAD data, manipulating, editing, adding to it, etc
• Experience in a physically-based rendering program(s) (Redshift, Octane, V-Ray, Arnold, Corona, Keyshot etc.)
• Knowledge and experience with the Industrial Design process, tools and language Expertise in Maya, and/or Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, Redshift
• Experience in creating simulations and procedural workflows (Houdini, Rhino Grasshopper and/or Cinema4D)
• Great knowledge of Industrial Design best practices
• Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
• Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
• Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
