Dexmate
We're seeking an exceptional Senior Industrial Designer with a passion for creating world-class physical products that blend beauty, functionality, and innovation. You'll be instrumental in defining the design language of our robotic systems and ensuring every product we ship reflects our commitment to excellence and user-centered design.
This is a rare opportunity to work at the intersection of advanced robotics, AI, and industrial design—where your work will directly impact how millions of people interact with autonomous systems in their daily lives.
What You'll Do Design Leadership
Lead the industrial design process from early concept exploration through production release and launch
Define and evolve Dexmate's design language across our product portfolio
Create compelling product concepts that solve critical user needs while pushing the boundaries of what's possible in robotics
Translate complex technical requirements into elegant, intuitive physical forms
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner closely with engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, AI/ML) to balance form, function, performance, and manufacturability
Collaborate with product management, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to ensure designs meet business objectives and production requirements
Work alongside human factors researchers to create products that are not only beautiful but also ergonomic and delightful to use
Interface with external vendors and manufacturing partners to bring designs to life
Hands-On Creation
Develop designs through multiple mediums: sketching, rendering, CAD modeling, and physical prototyping
Create high-fidelity prototypes to validate design concepts and user interactions
Conduct design reviews and present concepts to stakeholders, articulating design rationale and vision
Iterate rapidly based on user feedback, engineering constraints, and manufacturing realities
Material & Manufacturing Innovation
Drive innovation in materials exploration and manufacturing processes
Establish and maintain relationships with suppliers to identify cutting-edge materials and finishes
Develop comprehensive CMF (Color, Material, Finish) strategies aligned with brand identity
Ensure designs are optimized for high-volume manufacturing and assembly
Strategic Contribution
Conduct competitive analysis and trend research to inform design direction
Participate in strategic product planning and roadmap discussions
Contribute to design process development and best practices
Mentor junior designers and foster a culture of design excellence
What You Bring Required Experience
7+ years of professional industrial design experience
in a product development environment, preferably with consumer electronics, robotics, smart devices, or durable goods
Proven track record of shipping physical products
from concept through mass production and market delivery
Portfolio demonstrating exceptional craft
with examples of products that have been manufactured and sold commercially
Experience with the
complete product development lifecycle —from clay modeling and prototyping through DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and production ramp
Technical Excellence
Expert proficiency in 3D CAD software
(SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360, or similar)
Strong understanding of
mechanical engineering principles , manufacturing processes, and material science
Experience with
rapid prototyping techniques
including 3D printing, CNC machining, and model making
Knowledge of
injection molding, sheet metal, die casting, and other high-volume manufacturing processes
Familiarity with
electronics packaging, thermal management , and design for assembly
Design Sensibility
Obsessive attention to detail
and a relentless pursuit of quality
Deep appreciation for aesthetics
with the ability to create forms that are both beautiful and functional
User-centered design philosophy
with empathy for how people interact with technology
Radical creativity
paired with pragmatic problem-solving abilities
Understanding of human factors, ergonomics, and inclusive design principles
Collaboration & Communication
Excellent visual communication skills through sketching, rendering, and presentation
Ability to
articulate design rationale
and defend decisions with data and user insights
Experience
leading cross-functional teams
and influencing without authority
Proven ability to
manage multiple projects
simultaneously while meeting aggressive timelines
Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving requirements
Bonus Points
Experience specifically with
robotics, automation systems, or AI-enabled devices
Familiarity with
UI/UX design
and creating cohesive physical-digital experiences
Knowledge of
regulatory standards
and compliance requirements for consumer/industrial products
Experience with
design systems
and scaling design across product families
Advanced degree in Industrial Design or related field
