About The Role

As a Senior Industrial Designer in the Product Development group, you will lead design projects at the intersection of human usability, commercial viability, and manufactured reality. Your solutions impact the full spectrum of new product introduction, from initial research and exploration to market launch. Reporting to the Industrial Design manager, you will join a talented team responsible for physical, graphic, and interactive design definition. You are supported by a fully staffed model shop, including metal fabrication, welding, 3D printing and assembly spaces. Our manufacturing lines are footsteps away from our design studios, promoting your ability to learn and enrich your work with real-world considerations as your products are built.

This position requires a refined intuition for human-scale aesthetic form generation, and sensibilities attuned to solving for both exerciser and operator needs. You should be cognizant of exercise and fitness practices and trends, and proactive in observing and researching users to inform and inspire your work. Intellectual curiosity, patience, and being comfortable with ambiguity will enhance your learning and ability to collaborate. Using our Design/Build/Test principles, you strive to transcend manufacturing processes in the pursuit of industrial design integrity. This is a perfect opportunity for seasoned designers who aspire to hands-on involvement across all phases of product development, and who are intrigued by the potential to shape the future of fitness.

Submitting a portfolio is required to be considered for this role.
