Position Overview Industrial Designers are formally trained and have a variety of skill sets; they would be expected to excel in the product development. Designers should be able to work from base technologies, market research or ethnographic study to develop product concepts. Once product concepts have been developed, they would be refined via several media: hand sketching, computer modeling, two‑dimensional layout, illustration, physical model building and computer rendering. Designers should be articulate, well‑spoken and able to manage tasks efficiently. Additionally, they should be able to work with a wide variety of people such as marketers, salespeople, engineers and manufacturers within a time‑driven development cycle.
