Job description

We're looking for a curious, adaptable, and driven Junior Designer to join our team and grow alongside us as we envision and craft simple, thoughtful, enjoyable, and compelling products and services for customers.

This is an incredible opportunity for an early-career designer to build a broad, multidisciplinary skill set across physical and digital design disciplines in a high-energy, small-team environment where every contributor wears multiple hats. You'll gain hands-on exposure to concepting and sketching, low- to high-fidelity prototyping, workshop facilitation, and asset production across the full lifecycle of projects, pilots, and research initiatives - all while being mentored by senior designers and cross-functional experts. 

You'll have...

  • Bachelor's degree in industrial design, transportation design, or a related field.
  • Some experience (internship, co-op, academic, or entry-level) in a consumer product industry, transportation sector or supplier, design consultancy, or similar field.
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite design tools.
  • Familiarity with at least one 3D modeling software application (e.g., Alias AutoStudio, Rhino, or Blender).
  • Familiarity with relevant presentation applications (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote, or similar). 

Even better, you may have...

  • 0-2 years of industrial design or transportation design studio experience (internships and academic project work welcomed).
  • Strong curiosity, creativity, and eagerness to experiment with features and functional solutions.
  • Emerging ability to translate customer and research inputs into relevant, desirable product concepts.
  • Developing communication skills through presentation and storytelling.
  • Growing product design aesthetic sensibility.
  • Foundational sketching, visualization, modeling, and presentation skills.
  • Some 2D application skills (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.).
  • Some 3D application skills (e.g., Alias AutoStudio, VRED, Rhino, Maya, or Blender).
  • Hands-on experience or interest in building low-fidelity prototypes (e.g., cardboard, foam core, wood, laser cutting, 3D printing) and a desire to learn production and prototyping methods.
  • Interest in learning to translate design vision into animated story-form using digital presentation tools (including AI visualization tools).
  • A growth mindset and willingness to take on new challenges as design proposals move from concept toward production. 

You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value, we encourage you to apply!

A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year's Day 
Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
