Industrial Designer
About The Position
CYVL is seeking a Hardware Product Designer / Design Strategist to own the full design vision for their next-generation sensor. The goal is to make high-complexity mapping technology feel genuinely human, tactile, elegant, and intuitive, comparable to brands like Sonos or Apple hardware. This role involves taking concepts through to refined mockups, making material and tactile decisions, and iterating closely with hardware and engineering teams. The output should be a handoff package ready for scaling with a contract manufacturer. This is a contract/consultant engagement with potential for extension, based in Somerville, MA, with hybrid or remote options available. The role reports to the Founder & CEO.
Requirements
- Deep industrial design chops: you own the vision, not just the CAD
- A portfolio that shows restraint, premium materials, and intuitive physical interaction
- Fluency in CAD, material science, and the design-to-manufacturing loop
- A “less is more” design philosophy, demonstrated through your work
Nice To Haves
- Experience with products where the object in your hand carries the brand: Sonos, Apple hardware, GoPro, or high-end outdoor equipment
- A track record of making something complex feel inevitable, and a belief that less is more
Responsibilities
- Own the full design vision for the CYVL sensor: form, materials, finish, and feel
- Take shell and enclosure concepts through to refined mockups
- Make material and tactile decisions that read as premium
- Iterate tightly with our hardware and engineering team
- Deliver a handoff package ready to scale with our contract manufacturer
