Industrial Designer cum UI/UX Designer

Position Overview
We are seeking a versatile Industrial Designer cum UI/UX Designer who can bridge the gap between physical product design and digital experience design. The ideal candidate will transform complex technical and user requirements into aesthetically compelling, functional, and manufacturable products both hardware and digital interfaces (web mobile). This is a mid- level, hands-on role with end-to-end ownership from concept to production.

Key Responsibilities

Industrial Design Product Development (Physical)

• Concept Ideation Prototyping: Create innovative product concepts using sketching, storyboards, and rapid prototyping (foam models, 3D prints, etc.).
• Detailed Design: Convert approved concepts into detailed 3D CAD models (SolidWorks, Rhino, or Fusion 360) and prepare technical documentation.
• Materials Manufacturing: Select appropriate materials, processes (injection moulding, machining, casting), and finishes for feasibility, cost optimisation, and sustainability.
• Design Testing Validation: Conduct usability, durability, and safety evaluations; refine designs based on feedback and performance.
• Aesthetic Development: Maintain consistent brand language, ergonomics, and visual appeal across physical products.

UI/UX Design Digital Experience

• User Research: Perform interviews, surveys, and competitive benchmarking to understand user behaviours, goals, and pain points.
• Information Architecture: Develop user flows, journey maps, sitemaps, and low/mid- fidelity wireframes.
• High-Fidelity UI Design: Create pixel-perfect screens, interactive prototypes, and responsive layouts using Figma (preferred), Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Design Systems: Build and maintain scalable design systems and reusable UI components.
• Usability Testing: Plan and conduct usability tests, analyse findings, and iterate for improved digital experiences.

Cross-Functional Collaboration Ownership

• Stakeholder Communication: Present design decisions with clarity, backed by research, data, and design rationale.
• Handoff Collaboration: Work closely with Mechanical Engineers for physical product development and Front-End Developers for digital implementation.
• Integrated Design Alignment: Ensure that digital and physical user experiences are cohesive and aligned.
• Mentorship: Provide guidance and feedback to junior designers where required.

Required Qualifications

• Strong, well-rounded portfolio showcasing both product design and UI/UX projects.
• Proficiency in CAD tools: SolidWorks, Rhino, or Fusion 360.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (especially injection moulding).
• UI/UX expertise in Figma (preferred), Sketch, or Adobe XD.
• Deep knowledge of User-Centred Design (UCD) methodologies.
• Proficiency with Adobe Photoshop Illustrator.
• Experience with wireframing, prototyping, and creating high-fidelity
• Familiarity with prototyping tools such as InVision, Principle, or After Effects (bonus).

Soft Skills

• Strong visual and aesthetic sensibility (composition, colour theory, typography).
• Excellent analytical and design thinking skills across physical and digital contexts.
• Clear communication verbal, visual, and written with the ability to articulate design decisions effectively.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, HCI, Interaction Design, or related fields.
