Junior Industrial Designer

Summary

ONO is a company that designs tools aimed at enhancing mental wellbeing through tactile experiences. They are seeking a Junior Industrial Designer to contribute to designing the next generation of products, working closely with the founder and managing the design process from initial sketches to manufacturable models.

Responsibilities

• Design new fidget concepts, from rough sketches through refined, manufacturable 3D models
• Model and iterate in Fusion 360, thinking through mechanisms, tolerances, and materials
• Apply light engineering judgment so products feel right in the hand and hold up in production
• Prototype, test, and refine based on how the object actually performs
• Design packaging that feels as considered as the product inside it
• Prepare files and specs to hand off to print and manufacturing partners
• Design our trade show booth and physical presence for events
• Translate the ONO look into physical spaces, displays, and fixtures
• Create graphic assets across product, packaging, and brand as projects require
• Present and communicate concepts clearly through sketches, renders, and short decks
• Walk the founder and partners through your thinking so decisions move quickly

Skills

• Portfolio: physical product design work, ideally toys, gadgets, or everyday-carry objects, showing both form and function
• Fusion 360: working proficiency, including modeling for manufacture
• Product instinct: a real feel for how things work, not just how they look
• Sketching: strong hand skills and the ability to explain ideas visually
• Communication: comfort presenting concepts and talking through tradeoffs
• Independence: enough experience to own a design and make sound calls with light supervision
• Part-time reliability: you keep work moving on a flexible schedule and flag blockers early
• Education: degree in industrial or product design, or equivalent hands-on experience. Experience matters more than the credential
• Packaging, graphic design, or exhibit and booth design experience
