DESCRIPTION
We are seeking a visionary Lead Concept Industrial Designer to translate the Design Director's aesthetic vision into the form language and unified physical identity of our next-generation robotic platforms. You will own early 2D/3D ideation, volumetric packaging, and proportional development—working at high velocity to explore, iterate, and define what our robots look and feel like before handing off to technical surfacing. Key job responsibilities Rapid 3
D Form & Volume Exploration:
Quickly rough out, test, and iterate on complex multi-part robotic enclosures, articulating fairings, and structural chassis using Rhino, SubD, Alias Concept, or Blender.
Unified Architecture:
Establish a cohesive visual brand language across the entire robot —ensuring seamless aesthetic and proportional transitions between moving parts.
Dynamic Articulation & Clearances:
Explore and resolve how physical panels interact, reveal internal mechanisms, and clear dynamic ranges of motion.
Design-to-Surfacing Handshake:
Deliver organized, proportion-locked concept CAD envelopes (SubD / clean NURBS) with clear design intent, character lines, and highlight priorities to the Technical Surface Designer.
Cross-Functional Synthesis:
Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Motion/Robotics, and Hardware leadership to wrap high-density motor packs, cooling ducts, battery modules, and sensor arrays into an appealing, functional envelope.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
5+ years of Design/Innovation, research & development, manufacturing, process, industrial engineering, or related experience Experience directly working with engineering teams Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or related field Expert-level proficiency in Gravity Sketch, Rhino, Vizcom Ai, SubD modeling, Blender, Plasticity, or Alias Concept with demonstrated ability to sculpt balanced forms in days, not weeks Portfolio demonstrating exceptional sense of proportion, visual hierarchy, and unified aesthetic across multi-component devices. Intuitive grasp of dynamic kinematic clearances, packaging volumes for motors/electronics, and thermal management considerations Proven ability to maintain clean layer organization, logical parting line intent, and deliver clean STEP/mesh files ready for downstream technical surfacing
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Master's degree in Industrial Design, Transportation Design, or equivalent advanced study Experience in consumer robotics (Boston Dynamics, DJI, Skydio), high-end powersports/motorcycle studios (CanAm, Yamaha, Honda R D, Zero), or automotive concept styling Proficiency in generative design tools (Grasshopper/Rhino) and digital sculpting (ZBrush) for organic/biological form references Basic understanding of die-cast and composite manufacturing (DFM) realities to keep concept forms grounded in producibility Ability to articulate specific highlight curves, curvature expectations, and surface quality intent to technical modelers Experience designing for kinematic/articulating systems where covers, cowlings, and fairings move without visual or physical interference Background in premium CMF (Color, Material, Finish) development and hardware interaction design Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status.
