Job Description:

Aescape is seeking an experienced Contract Industrial Designer to play a hands-on role in the design and execution of the next generation of our hardware platform. You will work closely with mechanical engineering, robotics, manufacturing, and product leadership to translate system requirements into manufacturable, cost-effective, and elegant physical designs. You will be embedded in a fast-moving hardware program, making real trade-offs, producing production-ready design outputs, and iterating directly with engineers and suppliers.

Job Responsibility:

Own and execute industrial design workstreams from kick off through production-intent designs
Translate system-level requirements (cost, reliability, serviceability, ergonomics, safety) into concrete industrial design solutions
Partner tightly with mechanical and robotics engineers to resolve constraints around structure, actuation, cabling, cooling, access, and assembly
Drive design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) decisions across enclosures, covers, interfaces, and subassemblies
Contribute to design optimization initiatives, including material selection, part consolidation, fastening strategies, and finish rationalization
Develop CAD models and production-ready geometry suitable for tooling and supplier handoff
Produce production representative renders that convey design intent and finish to non-technical stakeholders and leadership
Support prototype builds, pilot runs, and design validation by rapidly iterating based on test results
Ensure the final product balances premium feel with operational and financial constraints

Requirements:

7+ years of industrial design experience with complex electromechanical or robotic products
Proven experience taking products from concept through production release
Strong CAD skills (e.g., SolidWorks or equivalent), including production-intent modeling
Deep understanding of plastics, metals, soft goods, finishes, fastening methods, and tolerance stack-ups
Demonstrated experience making disciplined design trade-offs within defined cost and manufacturing constraints
Practical knowledge of manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC machining, sheet metal, die casting, and extrusion
Comfort working in close partnership with mechanical engineering, quality and manufacturing teams, resolving trade-offs quickly and pragmatically
Ability to move fast, accept ambiguity, and make informed decisions with incomplete information
Experience working with overseas manufacturers and interpreting supplier feedback into design changes
Strong communication skills and the ability to explain design intent and trade-offs to cross-functional partners

Nice to have:

Experience with the design for soft good, foam, and fabric wrapping
Experience with robotics, medical devices, fitness equipment, or other safety-critical hardware
Prior work on products with service, refurbishment, or field-maintenance requirements
Familiarity with regulatory, safety, or compliance considerations in physical products

What we offer:

Join a trailblazing tech company anticipated to transform the massage industry
The chance to make a difference with a product that empowers healthier and happier living
Team culture driven by passion, ambition, empowerment, inclusion, curiosity, and fun
We’ll grow together – your personal and professional growth are equally important
An environment that empowers individuals, emboldens teams, and rewards achievement
Opportunity to work on a category-defining physical AI product alongside a senior, experienced hardware team
