About this role
What you'll do
● Own the robot's industrial design — form, materials, surface treatment, and color — and shepherd your design intent through DFM, supplier reviews, and into production parts
● Build Deft's brand from scratch — visual identity, design system, pitch decks, website, trade show presence, and demo videos
● Design operator-facing UX for robot monitoring and control, optimized for noisy factory environments
● Collaborate daily with engineers on mechanical, electrical, and software teams — you're a creative partner, not a downstream executor
● Lay the design foundation — tools, workflows, and eventually a team — as Deft scales
Required Qualifications
● Shipped a real physical product you've designed into medium-to-high volume production
