About us:

PA Consulting operates as a unified global team of strategists, innovators, designers, consultants, scientists, engineers, and technologists helping clients drive innovation. We’re a collective of problem solvers, creators, and makers who transform ideas into reality.

- Hands-on mockups, model making and prototyping.

- Gaining experience throughout the full design process

- Contributing to internal projects to develop technical skills and help bring innovative ideas to life

What We're Looking For:

- U.S. Citizens currently studying or recently graduated in Industrial Design or adjacent field.

- Strong problem-solving skills and passion for creative exploration.

- Portfolio demonstrating storytelling, process documentation, wide-ranging concept exploration, creative solutions, and aesthetic sense.

- Great communication and visualization skills.

- 2D design skills: Analog and digital sketching, and proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite.

- 3D modeling and rendering experience (SolidWorks and KeyShot preferred).

- Prototyping proficiency with ability to integrate feedback.

- Interest in Generative AI application is a plus (Midjourney / Vizcom / Copilot).

Portfolio Requirements:

Include your best work demonstrating:

- Strong problem-solving capabilities.

- Clear, well-documented design process.

- Ideation and concept development.

- Model-making proficiency.

- Distinct point of view!

While meeting every qualification isn’t required, we value diverse perspectives and seek candidates with a collaborative mindset, critical thinking abilities, and a strong willingness to learn - along with a keen awareness of emerging trends and the ability to integrate them into their design approach
