About The Position

Hims & Hers is seeking a Staff Industrial Designer for a defined-term, six-month contract engagement supporting the industrial design team's active product roadmap. The role brings expert industrial design craft to physical products and helps build design systems and frameworks that scale across projects. The designer will solve complex, ambiguous problems across multiple initiatives, anticipate challenges, shape creative direction, and make independent decisions that affect team output and brand quality.

The position partners closely with design, engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and operations from concept through production handoff. It balances brand expression with manufacturability and cost, tracks production details such as tolerances and material call-outs, and incorporates relevant compliance, safety, and human-factors requirements early in the design process. The designer also mentors peers and contributes to stronger collaboration and craft standards. The role is embedded with a small design team in a fast-paced, ambiguous remote environment, with periodic travel as needed.

Requirements

• At least 8 years of industrial design experience.
• Meaningful experience designing physical consumer or health/medical hardware that has shipped at scale.
• A portfolio demonstrating expert craft across creative disciplines, from concept sketches to shipped, manufactured products; include a portfolio link with the application.
• Experience contributing to design systems, CMF standards, or frameworks that scale across multiple projects.
• Ability to resolve complex, ambiguous design problems across more than one initiative at a time.
• Fluency in sketching, 3D CAD, rendering, and hands-on prototyping.
• Working knowledge of injection molding, overmolding, extrusion, sheet metal, soft goods, and design for manufacturability principles.
• Experience partnering directly with engineering and operations teams to take products from concept to production.
• Ability to mentor peers and elevate collaboration standards, including without formal management responsibility.
• Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous, remote environment as a contractor embedded with a small design team, including periodic travel as needed.

Responsibilities

• Apply expert-level craft across sketching, CAD surfacing, CMF, and prototyping.
• Contribute to and scale design systems and frameworks that support quality and consistency across projects.
• Use technical and conceptual expertise to drive innovation while maintaining product consistency.
• Resolve complex, ambiguous design problems across multiple initiatives and anticipate challenges before they become blockers.
• Translate ambiguous briefs into design principles, sketches, and prototypes, and propose scalable solutions.
• Own creative direction for major projects or programs and make independent decisions affecting team output and brand quality.
• Partner with engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing from concept through production handoff, balancing brand, manufacturability, and cost.
• Track tolerances, material call-outs, and vendor capabilities to preserve design intent through production.
• Collaborate across design, engineering, and operations to drive creative cohesion on shared programs.
• Lead discussions that clarify vision and priorities among cross-functional stakeholders.
• Mentor peers and elevate collaboration and craft standards across the design team.
• Build relevant health and consumer product compliance and safety requirements into the design process.
• Translate compliance and human-factors requirements into design criteria in collaboration with engineering and regulatory partners.
• Maintain hands-on fluency in sketching, 3D CAD, rendering, and physical prototyping.
• Apply working knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes to make informed trade-offs with vendors and engineers.

Benefits

• Unlimited PTO, company holidays, and quarterly mental health days.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, and parental leave.
• 401(k) benefits with employer matching contribution.
• Competitive salary and equity compensation are listed for full-time roles; the position described is a contract engagement.
