Industrial Designer and 3D Modeling Specialist

Role: Industrial Designer and 3D Modeling Specialist
Hours: 8am - 4pm Mountain Standard Time
USD Rate: $1,280 - $1,920 per month | $8 - $12 per hour (Open for negotiation based on experience)

Transform product ideas into clear visual concepts and precise, manufacturable 3D models. This role is first and foremost about concept visualization, 3D CAD, and user-centered design. Manufacturing coordination and competitive research are supportive, secondary functions.

Key Responsibilities (Primary)

• Concept Visualization
Translate initial product ideas into clear, visually engaging sketches/drawings—serving as the bridge from raw innovation to a design everyone can see and understand.
• 3D Modeling & CAD
Build precise CAD models (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD or similar) that are dimensionally accurate and manufacturable, including the measurements and technical details required for production.
• User-Centered Design
Apply best practices in ergonomics and user interaction so final designs are not only beautiful but practical, intuitive, and comfortable to use.

Secondary Responsibilities (Supportive)

• Manufacturing Handoff & Follow-Through
Package models, drawings, and specs for suppliers; answer questions and track revisions to maintain intent and fit/function through early samples. (Not a quality role.)
• Market/Competitive Research (as needed)
Perform targeted research to inform unique functions, features, and brand-aligned decisions.

Requirements:
Minimum Requirements

• Education/Experience: Bachelor’s in Industrial/Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• Track Record: 3+ years designing consumer products from concept through CAD to early production/samples.
• CAD Mastery: Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD (or comparable), including assemblies, tolerances, and drawing packages.
• Communication: Clear written and verbal skills; able to document decisions, version control, and supplier-facing notes.
• Execution: Demonstrated ability to deliver accurate, manufacturable models on tight timelines.
• Portfolio (include sketches and CAD for consumer products)

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with injection molding, mechanisms, or consumer product assemblies.
• Experience preparing design packs for overseas manufacturing partners.
• Exposure to packaging or instructions that communicate function clearly.

How We Innovate (What to Expect)

We are a product-first, innovation-led team. Designers are expected to think beyond execution—bringing fresh perspectives, exploring alternatives, and proposing forward-looking solutions that help us lead our category. You will own outcomes, not just deliverables.

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• Concepts consistently translated into clear sketches and clean, reviewable mockups.
• CAD models delivered on time, to spec, ready for supplier review with clean version control.
• Early samples reflect design intent with minimal rework and a concise revision history.

Career Path & Impact

Success in this role opens opportunities to lead design initiatives across new product categories, mentor junior designers, and shape standards for design-for-manufacture across the organization.

What We’re Looking For (Fit)

• Strong background in industrial design with fluent CAD modeling.
• Proven experience turning conceptual ideas into tangible, manufacturable designs.
• Blend of creative vision and practical rigor with high accuracy and attention to detail.
• Collaborative working style; thrives on bringing ideas to life with cross-functional partners.

Benefits:
• Remote Work: Work from anywhere—our team is global, and we value work-life balance.

• Growth Opportunities: As a key player i you’ll have the chance to shape your role and grow with us.

• Innovative Culture: Join a team that is passionate about leveraging data to solve challenges and drive success in a rapidly evolving market.
