job description

Take a mechanical engineer, cross them with a fine artist, and you’ve got an industrial designer. These perfectionists do it all, making the best mass-produced products even better. You’ll refine a scientific design, and help make it flexible, more eco-friendly, or simply more exciting for someone to own. Like an iPod. A basketball shoe with more support. A bicycle with gears that shift more smoothly. Or a can opener with fewer parts. As an Industrial Designer, you will study why people like the things they like, and create a new generation of products people will love.
