TECHNICAL PRODUCT DESIGNER – SOFT GOODS

You understand that a layer in a 3D CAD assembly that is labeled “fabric” doesn’t mean much. Designing with fabric requires both knowledge of material properties and comfort prototyping integration options. You are comfortable designing and developing wrist-based wearables, on head technology platforms, on body support/carry systems and the tooling and fixtures that are required to bring these products to life. What You’ll Do • Work on innovation design projects in consumer electronics, sportswear, wearables, medical tech, VR/AR, and aerospace • Design and fabricate in Terrazign’s 6,000 square foot soft goods studio and machine shop • Collaborate with project design leads to build design plans, create concepts and set deliverables for client projects • Pattern soft good components, design 3D tooling and fixtures, construction functional prototypes and test samples • Build presentation assets and communication tools that clearly describe decision making and design solutions • Work with the client’s design, engineering, and manufacturing team members to be solution oriented to resolve project design and manufacturing issues • Continually grow your knowledge of textile/material properties, soft good manufacturing processes and product industry standards • Deliver the highest quality output with attention to all construction and material details What you’ll bring • Background in Industrial Design or Engineering with a focus on technical soft goods design, product engineering or innovation • Experience designing and prototyping technical soft good assemblies: wearable tech, VR/AR, on body medical devices, CE assemblies • Ability to approaching product design problem solving through the design thinking iterative process, scientific method, or engineering principles • Comfort building physical soft good assembly prototypes to a “production ready” or “golden sample” level • Knowledge of soft good materials and assembly techniques • Ability to create 2D patterns for 3D objects • CAD skills (rhino, Fusion 360, or equivalent)
