About The Role

We are looking for an

Industrial Designer

who will be responsible for defining and executing the aesthetic and ergonomic design of our humanoid robots. He/she will help shape the robots physical form factor, material selection, and overall user experience - creating systems that are not only high-performing but also approachable and emotionally engaging for humans across diverse environments.

Key Responsibilities

Concept Development:

Generate, iterate, and refine creative concepts for humanoid robot designs through sketching, 3D modelling, and physical mock-ups that balance functionality, aesthetics, and usability.

Materials and Finishes (CMF):

Define the appropriate colours, materials, and finishes to achieve the desired look and feel for the robot's overall character.

Prototyping:

Create both low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes for testing and refinement, translating design intent into tangible physical models.

Design Presentation:

Clearly and effectively communicate design concepts and proposals to key stakeholders and management using visual tools and presentations.

Design for Human-Robot Interaction (HRI):

Address the unique design challenges of humanoid robotics, focusing on elements like form, posture, and proportion to make robots feel approachable and safe for human co-existence.
