Why join frog?

**What will you be doing?

Industrial Designers are responsible for the design of physical products and touchpoints, considering usability, look and feel, and manufacturing.

They define product architecture and features, physical workflows and user experience, design language & aesthetics, colours & materials, and product technologies.

They work closely with strategists, researchers, and other design disciplines to shape "convergent experiences" involving physical, digital, service and brand components.

As an Industrial Designer II you will sometimes be the only industrial design specialist on a program.

You are expected to plan, prioritise, and deliver industrial design activities autonomously, in the context of interdisciplinary projects.

You will lead client conversations within your domain, providing articulate recommendations and helping guide client choices.

Your fellow frogs will rely on you to:

- Conceptualise and visualise product designs and physical interactions using sketching, 3D CAD and renderings, hand built physical mock-ups and 3D prints

- Define product design language and aesthetic directions that can make the product iconic, unique, and recognisable, but most importantly, fitting with the brand what the target user's desire

- Explore product architectures that consider details of how people would use and perceive the product, usability, ergonomics, and the human factors of the experience

- Craft details and signature elements in the product that are meaningful, that make people love the experience and build long-lasting relationships and routines

- Build virtual and physical prototypes to simulate the experience with the product, how it looks and feels, its interaction, and how it might be manufactured or resembled

On a typical project you will:

- Plan and conduct design research focussed on product use and experience

- Analyse and test product usability, ergonomics, and workflow

- Develop user experience scenarios and journeys integrating physical and digital interactions

- Explore and develop aesthetic directions for individual products and for cross-product design systems

- Explore and develop ideas and concepts with hand sketching, 3D CAD, hand-built volumetric mock-ups, and 3D prints

- Refine concept designs into 3D parametric CAD, including definition of part break-up considering manufacturing and assembly

- Prepare product renderings and assets for AR and VR simulation

- Explore CMF (colour, materials, and finishes) with samples and renderings

- Create product design documentation and collaborate with customer and 3rd party engineering teams during development.

- Coordinate prototype supplier in the appearance model realisation

**We want you to have**:

- 2+ years of professional industrial design experience

- Highly developed design skills, demonstrated in your portfolio of recent work

- Confident presentation and storytelling abilities

- Experience collaborating in multifunctional teams

- Proficiency with contemporary design tools and methods

- Affinity with frog's values, and a passion for creating products that meet peoples functional and emotional needs

- Business level ability in English

**It would be a bonus if you had**:

- A university degree in Industrial Design, Architecture, or a related design or engineering discipline

- Experience working in a variety of organisations (start-up, corporate, agency/consultancy)

- Academic, professional, or life experience from outside the design field that enriches your perspective as a designer
