* Translate user insights and brand strategy into compelling product designs.
* Work closely with mechanical engineers and prototyping teams to ensure feasibility and DFM.
* Produce high-quality 2D sketches, 3D CAD models (e.g., SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360), and renderings (e.g., KeyShot, V-Ray).
* Iterate designs based on user testing, feedback, and engineering constraints.
* Help define our visual brand language and evolve it with each new product.
* Collaborate with manufacturing partners to bring designs to life with high fidelity.

 

What we're looking for:

* Willing to work on a freelance contract
* 5+ years of experience in industrial design for consumer products, preferably in fitness, sporting goods, wearables, or similar categories.
* Portfolio showcasing production-ready designs, especially those with complex mechanical systems and premium CMF (Color, Material, Finish) application.
* Strong proficiency in CAD, rendering, and physical prototyping.
* Deep understanding of human-centered design and ergonomic principles.
* Experience designing for injection molding, metalwork, soft goods, and hybrid materials.
* Ability to lead design sprints and present ideas clearly to stakeholders.
