About the Role
SimpliSafe is seeking an Industrial Designer to create the next generation of home security products. This role involves understanding customer needs, transforming them into concepts, and guiding physical products from ideation to mass production. It's ideal for a creative, detail-oriented designer skilled in early-stage concepting, rapid prototyping, and maintaining design intent through execution.
Responsibilities
- Explore and translate user needs and insights into compelling product concepts, forms, and experiences.
- Build quick, scrappy physical prototypes and foam models to rapidly test ideas, validate ergonomic choices, and gather user feedback.
- Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, User Research, and UX to guide Industrial Design directions from early exploration to execution.
- Sketch collaboratively to explore form, CMF (Color, Material, and Finish), and user interactions, effectively communicating solutions across teams.
- Create detailed CAD models and high-quality 3D renderings to convey design intent and functional vision clearly.
- Produce comprehensive design documentation including detailed drawings, CMF specifications, and production artwork, and communicate ongoing DFM issues through part review documents to clearly convey design intent.
- Partner with Engineering and external manufacturing partners to adapt, refine, and maintain design integrity through production.
- Contribute to and evolve SimpliSafe’s Design Language System (DLS), ensuring hardware decisions align across the product ecosystem.
Requirements
- A strong digital portfolio demonstrating your end-to-end design process, highlighting early concepting, user-centered problem solving, form development, and scrappy prototyping.
- Strong storytelling capabilities, and a collaborative, growth-oriented mindset.
- A strong eye for detail and a deep appreciation for aesthetics.
- Excellent ideation, form-giving, CAD & digital prototyping skills.
- Strong hand and digital sketching skills to rapidly generate, iterate, and communicate aesthetic and functional ideas.
- Passion for rapid, scrappy physical prototyping (paper, foam, 3D printing) to test concepts quickly with users and validate design direction.
- High proficiency in 3D CAD modeling to build precise surface geometries (KeyShot, V-Ray).
- Expertise in 3D rendering and visualization to produce compelling presentation-quality visuals (KeyShot, V-Ray).
- Understanding of manufacturing processes, materials, and CMF specification documentation.
- Ability to collaborate constructively with mechanical/electrical engineering and manufacturing partners to navigate trade-offs while upholding design intent.
- Experience working within or contributing to a hardware Design Language System.
