## About the Role

We are a growing custom architectural lighting manufacturer seeking a technically skilled Industrial Designer with advanced Rhino 3D proficiency, strong mechanical design capabilities, and hands-on manufacturing experience.

This position combines creative product development, complex 3D modeling, mechanical design, 3D printing, and practical manufacturing.

We are not looking for someone who exclusively creates sketches or renderings. We need someone who understands how products are manufactured, how components connect, and how complex designs become functional physical assemblies.

The ideal candidate combines strong design instincts with practical engineering knowledge and enjoys working directly with manufacturing teams to bring ambitious concepts to life., * Advanced Rhino 3D proficiency, including complex NURBS surfaces, solids, and accurate geometric modeling.

 * Strong mechanical design aptitude and understanding of fasteners, joints, tolerances, and assembly methods.
 * Hands-on experience with 3D printing, functional prototyping, or additive manufacturing.
 * Experience designing products or components that have been physically manufactured.
 * Ability to create and interpret technical drawings.
 * Strong spatial reasoning, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail.
 * Comfortable collaborating directly with fabrication and production personnel.
 * Portfolio demonstrating technical design ability and real-world mechanical or manufacturing projects., * 3+ years of relevant experience in industrial design, product development, mechanical design, or digital fabrication.
 * Degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Equivalent hands-on experience considered.
 * Grasshopper experience for parametric and computational design.
 * SolidWorks experience, particularly mechanical assemblies.
 * AutoCAD proficiency.
 * Experience with multipart 3D-printed assemblies, mold design, or large-format additive manufacturing.
 * Knowledge of CNC machining, sheet metal, aluminum fabrication, and other manufacturing processes.
 * Experience coordinating 3D design projects or reviewing other designers' work., * Have you designed parts or assemblies that were physically manufactured, including specifying fasteners, joints, tolerances, or other mechanical connections?

Experience:

 * Rhino 3D?: 3 years (Required)
 * SolidWorks: 1 year (Preferred)

Language:

 * Excellent written and verbal English communication skills (Required)

## Description

* Develop complex 3D models, curved surfaces, and geometric assemblies primarily using Rhino 3D.
 * Transform concepts, sketches, and architectural drawings into manufacturable products.
 * Design mechanical connections, including fasteners, brackets, joints, mounting systems, and alignment features.
 * Develop multipart assemblies with proper tolerances, clearances, and fastening methods.
 * Design functional 3D-printed components, prototypes, molds, and tooling.
 * Develop strategies for dividing large designs into smaller printable components that can be accurately joined together.
 * Design products for CNC machining, laser cutting, sheet metal fabrication, bending, welding, and other manufacturing processes.
 * Create and review technical drawings, 3D assemblies, and fabrication documentation.
 * Help lead 3D drafting activities and coordinate design development with other CAD personnel.
 * Work directly with manufacturing teams on prototyping, assembly, troubleshooting, and design improvements.
