About The Position

Meter builds networking hardware that businesses depend on to stay connected. Our products need to work flawlessly in the field, and they need to look and feel like they belong there. We are building the next generation of Meter hardware, and this role sits at the center of that work. We are hiring an industrial and packaging designer to help shape how our products show up in the world. This role is not just about making things look good; it’s about learning how to solve real problems around form, usability, and the full product experience, from the moment a customer opens the box to how an installer mounts it in a ceiling or wiring closet. Your work will support the evolution of our hardware design language and help make our products feel approachable, durable, and thoughtfully designed. What success looks like You will shape the industrial design language for our next generation of networking hardware—translating user research, engineering constraints, and brand direction into cohesive ID concepts for both compact and industrial SKUs. You will also develop packaging systems that cut waste, streamline logistics, and elevate the Meter brand without sacrificing protection or usability during installation.
