Location: Boston
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Partner with industrial designers to translate sketches, physical models, scan data, reference CAD, and design direction into precise digital models that preserve intended form and product character.
  • •Create advanced NURBS surface models in Autodesk Alias, focusing on curvature, continuity, highlight control, transitions, draft, and overall surface integrity for development and handoff.
  • •Bridge Alias and parametric CAD workflows, including SolidWorks, so sculpted surfaces integrate with mechanical assemblies, engineering requirements, manufacturing constraints, and production-intent models.
  • •Support product development from early form exploration and ergonomic studies through prototype refinement, DFM, tooling development, production release, and manufacturing ramp while preserving design intent.
  • •Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve challenges across wearability, fit, construction, sensor integration, charging interfaces, assembly strategy, durability, and manufacturability.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 100,000 - 150,000 annually

Key Requirements

  • •6+ years of experience in CAD sculpting, industrial design modeling, advanced surfacing, or related 3D product development, supporting products through production.
  • •Expert proficiency in Autodesk Alias (or comparable advanced surfacing), including NURBS surfacing, curve quality, surface continuity, highlight control, transitions, and production-aware model construction.
  • •Strong parametric CAD skills, preferably SolidWorks, to build, modify, reference, and collaborate within engineering-oriented CAD models and assemblies.
  • •Experience developing consumer products—ideally wearables, accessories, softgoods-integrated products, charging systems, or other complex ergonomic/mechanical products.
  • •Strong industrial design and manufacturing understanding (proportion, silhouette, part breaks, draft, tooling constraints, tolerances, materials, and high-volume production processes).
