From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
We are seeking a Senior Industrial Designer to translate design vision into production-ready form language for our next-generation robotic platforms. You will own form development from early volumetric exploration through surface refinement — defining what our robots look and feel like while ensuring designs are manufacturable from the start.
You’ll work at the intersection of aesthetics and engineering, balancing proportion, character, and visual brand coherence with the realities of complex electromechanical packaging, dynamic articulation, and production tooling.
Key job responsibilities
Form Development & Surface Refinement: Explore, iterate, and refine complex multi-part robotic enclosures, articulating fairings, and structural chassis using Rhino, SubD, Alias, or Blender — from rapid volumetric studies through production-intent surfacing with Class-A quality standards.
Design for Manufacturing: Incorporate draft angles, parting line strategy, wall thickness constraints, and tooling considerations into the design process from the start. Develop surfaces with production intent across injection molding, sheet metal, die casting, and composite fabrication processes.
Unified Design Language: Establish and maintain a cohesive visual brand language across the entire robot — ensuring seamless aesthetic and proportional transitions between static and moving components.
Dynamic Articulation & Clearances: Explore and resolve how physical panels interact, reveal internal mechanisms, and clear dynamic ranges of motion while maintaining design intent.
Component Packaging & Integration: Collaborate closely with mechanical engineering, robotics, and manufacturing teams to package high-density motor assemblies, cooling systems, battery modules, and sensor arrays into an appealing, functional, and producible envelope.
Engineering Handoff: Deliver organized, proportion-locked CAD models (SubD / clean NURBS / production-intent surfaces) with clear design intent documentation — character lines, highlight priorities, parting line intent, and DFM annotations ready for tooling development.
Basic Qualifications
5+ years of industrial design experience with a focus on complex physical products (robotics, automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, or similar electromechanical systems)
Portfolio demonstrating exceptional sense of proportion, visual hierarchy, and unified aesthetic across complex, multi-component mechanical systems where multiple subsystems must integrate and interact
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
