Industrial Designer - 351

JOB REQUIREMENTS: Industrial Designer - 351DESCRIPTION/RESPONSIBILITIES: Primary Purpose of the Role The industrialdesigner will focus on the design, development, and improvement ofproducts to ensure they are functional, aesthetically appealing, anduser-friendly. Blending art and engineering this role involvesconsidering materials, ergonomics, manufacturing processes, and theoverall experience of using the product. Essential Job Duties Researchand Concept Development: * Understanding market needs, user behavior,environmental impact, and trends in tableware, cooking and bakingdesign. Analyzing competitors, study consumer preferences (e.g., designaesthetics, ease of use), and work within the constraints ofmanufacturing processes (e.g., materials like plastic, paper, orbioplastics) and cost. Prototyping and Testing: * Creating prototypesof the products, testing for usability, durability, and functionality.This stage may also involve testing different materials to ensure theproduct performs well in different scenarios and usage occasions such asbeing leak-proof or microwaveable. Material Selection: * Sincedisposable tableware is typically designed to be both cost-effective andenvironmentally friendly, industrial designers would carefully selectmaterials that are both functional and sustainable, consideringbiodegradable or recyclable options when possible. CAD and 3D Modeling:* Using computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed 3Dmodels of the products. This would help to visualize the product andrefine its features before it\'s made for manufacturing. ManufacturingCollaboration: * Working closely with the engineering and manufacturingteams to ensure that the design can be mass-produced efficiently,cost-effectively, and at a high level of quality. Industrial Designerwould need to understand the limitations and requirements of theproduction process. Sustainability Considerations: * Explore ways tominimize waste and carbon footprint, possibly by integratingbiodegradable materials or designing for recycling. All qualifiedapplicants will receive consideration for employment without regard torace, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity,national origin, age, pregnancy, genetic information, disability, orstatus as a protected veteran. ***** OTHER EXPERIENCE ANDQUALIFICATIONS: Required Skills/Abilities Software: * Mastery of CADsoftware (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or other modeling software) iscritical for creating 3D models and prototypes. Prototyping Tools: *Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques like 3D printing or CNCmachining. Material Knowledge: * Understanding the properties andlimitations of different materials, particularly those used indisposable goods, such as plastics, paper, or biodegradablealternatives. Sustainability Awareness: * Knowledge of sustainabledesign practices and eco-friendly material options. Collaboration: *Ability to work cross-functionally with marketing, manufacturing, andsupply chain teams. Self Directed: * Seek out new product opportunitiesin the consumer and foodservice markets and develop theoretical productsto bring to market as well as existing product enhancements. *Bachelors Degree in Industrial Design or equivalent * 2 years workexperience in engineering ***** APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: ApplyOnline:Other: Applicants ONLY to apply via URL link provided!
