Description
We are seeking a visionary Lead Concept Industrial Designer to translate the Design Director's aesthetic vision into the form language and unified physical identity of our next-generation robotic platforms. You will own early 2D/3D ideation, volumetric packaging, and proportional development-working at high velocity to explore, iterate, and define what our robots look and feel like before handing off to technical surfacing.
Key job responsibilities
- Rapid 3D Form & Volume Exploration: Quickly rough out, test, and iterate on complex multi-part robotic enclosures, articulating fairings, and structural chassis using Rhino, SubD, Alias Concept, or Blender.
- Unified Architecture: Establish a cohesive visual brand language across the entire robot -ensuring seamless aesthetic and proportional transitions between moving parts.
- Dynamic Articulation & Clearances: Explore and resolve how physical panels interact, reveal internal mechanisms, and clear dynamic ranges of motion.
- Design-to-Surfacing Handshake: Deliver organized, proportion-locked concept CAD envelopes (SubD / clean NURBS) with clear design intent, character lines, and highlight priorities to the Technical Surface Designer.
- Cross-Functional Synthesis: Collaborate closely with Mechanical Engineering, Motion/Robotics, and Hardware leadership to wrap high-density motor packs, cooling ducts, battery modules, and sensor arrays into an appealing, functional envelope.

It’s Always Day 1
At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here
