ZURU Group Open & Close
About The Position
ZURU Tech Housing is seeking an Industrial Designer to design building components and the rules governing how they fit together in a scalable home-building system. The role focuses on creating repeatable solutions that can be designed, manufactured and built around the world. The products and design rules developed in this position become parametric logic in ZURU software, generating components and configurations across homes built with the system. The Industrial Designer will collaborate with design, engineering, manufacturing and software teams across Los Angeles, Italy, China and New Zealand, working at the intersection of industrial design, architecture and manufacturing.
Requirements
- Systems-thinking ability, including looking beyond individual products to how components, rules and processes work together at scale.
- Strong industrial design skills and a good grasp of aesthetics, functionality, materials, user experience, and how products are manufactured and assembled.
- Proficiency with CAD, 3D modeling and rendering tools.
- Understanding of residential construction and building codes, with the ability to balance design intent against technical and manufacturing requirements.
- Ability to communicate clearly with designers, engineers, software developers and manufacturers and turn complex requirements into practical solutions.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with Rhino, Grasshopper or similar parametric tools.
Responsibilities
- Design architectural products that balance aesthetics, functionality and user experience with each component’s role in the wider building system.
- Develop scalable product systems and design rules that balance design intent with building-code and manufacturing constraints.
- Take products from concept through production in collaboration with engineering and manufacturing teams, including developing, testing, refining and resolving challenges.
- Translate design intent into parametric logic used by ZURU software to generate products and configurations automatically.
- Build and maintain design standards, CAD templates and product guidelines to support consistency across the system.
- Improve the design-to-production process so ideas reach the factory faster and more cleanly.
- Simplify products and improve manufacturability by making parts simpler or more flexible where possible.
Benefits
- Career opportunities and a platform to develop your career.
- Merit-based rewards focused on impact rather than tenure.
- Some flexibility may be available depending on the role, location and business needs.
