About Intrepid Camp Gear Intrepid was born from a frustration with flimsy gear that fails when it matters most. We specialize in vehicle-supported adventure and products designed to take the outdoor experience to the next level. From our market-revolutionizing and patented GEO Rooftop Tent series to our precision-engineered ITX Roofboxes, we are a group of gear nerds leaving no stone unturned.
Our Mission:
To empower adventurers to experience the thrill of outdoors more comfortably and efficiently.
Values
Innovation:
We constantly strive to develop cutting-edge products that improve the camping experience.
Quality:
We are committed to producing the highest quality products with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous testing.
Durability:
Our gear is built to withstand the toughest conditions and last for years of adventures.
Sustainability:
We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact through sustainable manufacturing practices and responsible sourcing.
Customer Focus:
We prioritize customer satisfaction and provide exceptional support throughout the entire customer journey.
Adventure:
We encourage a spirit of exploration and inspire others to embrace the wonders of the outdoors.
The Role: What You’ll Do You will be the creative engine of our product development team, taking concepts from a sketch on a napkin to a production‑ready masterpiece.
Concept Generation:
Ideate, sketch, and render new product concepts that align with Intrepid’s "overbuilt but elegant" aesthetic.
Manage and Plan Product Timelines:
Most of product development is managing timelines including research, sketching, designing, materials, samples, and production. Planning and execution will be a large portion of this job.
Aid with 3D Modeling & CAD:
Develop high‑fidelity 3D models (SolidWorks, Rhino, or Fusion 360) for prototyping and manufacturing.
Prototyping & "Shop" Work:
Build physical mock‑ups, 3D print components, and test materials to ensure they meet our durability standards.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM):
Work closely with our engineering and manufacturing team to ensure designs are optimized for production without compromising on quality or company design language.
User Experience (UX):
Obsess over the details. How does it sound when it clicks? Where does the zipper land? Is it intuitive in the dark, in the rain, or with gloves on?
Qualifications
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design or a related field.
Experience:
2–5 years of professional design experience (outdoor industry or hard‑goods experience is a major plus).
Portfolio:
Strong portfolio demonstrating your process—from messy sketches to finished, manufactured products.
Technical Fitment:
Basic understanding of vehicle accessory fitment and mechanical systems.
Helpful Skills
Overlanding or Outdoor Passion:
You don't just design the gear; you use it.
Technical Mastery:
Expert‑level proficiency in 3D CAD software and the Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). Drawing and design skills are required to sketch out the products in‑order to take them to the next level.
Goods Experience:
Knowledge of technical fabrics and sewing is a huge asset for our tent and accessory lines.
Compensation & "Basecamp" Perks
Salary:
$50,000 based on experience + bonuses.
Half‑Day Fridays:
Get you out into the wild.
Health & Wellness:
Comprehensive Health and Dental Insurance.
Future Planning:
401(k) matching (eligible after 1 year of employment).
Time Off:
3 weeks of PTO + 6 paid holidays.
Adventure Access:
Access to the full Intrepid product lineup and a workspace in the heart of the Boulder outdoor community.
How to Apply Please submit your
Resume
and a
Link to your Portfolio . We want to see how you think—include sketches and "work‑in‑progress" shots, not just the final renders.
Intrepid Camp Gear:
Built for the bold. Designed by the obsessed.
