Intuitive helps design next-generation products and solutions for robotic surgery systems as well as refine and evolve existing product lines. Industrial designers are very hands-on, helping to translate real user insight into actionable design opportunities and empowering user experiences.
Requirements
- Strong 2D visualization skills, including sketching, storyboarding, and digital rendering
- Strong 3D CAD and visualization skills to develop technically viable and compelling design solutions
- Extensive experience with SolidWorks is required. Specific experience with complex surfacing is a plus.
- A thorough understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and designing for DFM & DFA considerations
- A comprehensive set of prototyping skills from quick low-fi foam models to fabricating more complex functional learning prototypes
Responsibilities
- Distills technical and ergonomic requirements and develops a range of solutions that synthesize usability, utility, manufacturability, and desirability
- Works with product development and engineering groups early in the product development lifecycle to provide user-centered thought leadership and generate conceptual product designs and opportunities
- Utilizes a range of 2D and 3D tools and techniques to develop and communicate design opportunities
- Combines Industrial Design objectives with the objectives of our process partners
- Translates and captures brand attributes in compelling physical forms
- Generates functional and appearance prototypes to conceptually explore and validate design choices
- Delivers manufacturable design proposals to engineering for production
Other
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Industrial Design
- 8+ years of experience in professional industrial design roles
- An exceptional portfolio that demonstrates a methodical human-centered design process and delivering successful products from concept to production
- A proven track record of collaborating successfully with engineering and product marketing teams to develop designs and ship successful products
- Excellent storytelling and presentation skills and an ability to effectively communicate a user-centered point of view
