As a Studio Design Engineer, you will become part of our early-stage team, collaborating closely with founders and senior leaders to transform industrial design concepts into production-ready products. You will own the engineering of visible surfaces from concept through manufacturing, ensuring exceptional quality, functionality, and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

Transform industrial design concepts into manufacturable components by developing robust B-side engineering for A-class surfaces, including wall thickness, ribs, bosses, fastening systems, clips, draft angles, and parting strategies.
Maintain the integrity of product surfaces throughout the engineering process, balancing design intent with manufacturing constraints while ensuring high standards of continuity, radii, highlights, gap and flush quality.
Develop parametric CAD models, create prototypes, prepare physical mockups, and validate fit, finish, and assembly through rapid design iterations.
Select appropriate materials and manufacturing technologies, including polymers, metals, coatings, and production processes, considering aesthetics, structural performance, cost, and user experience.
Build and maintain knowledge of qualified materials, manufacturing partners, and production capabilities.
Act as the bridge between Industrial Design and Mechanical Engineering, guiding components through DFM reviews, prototyping, tooling, and production while ensuring both engineering performance and design excellence.
