Job Purpose in Company's context
At LionsBot, we build intelligent cleaning robots that work in airports, malls, hospitals, and public spaces around the world. As a Lead Industrial Designer, you won't be sketching a hypothetical concept or subassembly - you'll own the entire design of a full product, from first moodboard to final molded part.
You'll bring together aesthetics, usability, engineering, and manufacturability into a cohesive design that is not just beautiful, but built - and deployed in real-world environments across 30+ countries.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a designer who wants to see their vision through - all the way to production.
Key Responsibilities
- Design robots that are not only functional - but iconic. Push boundaries in form, emotion, and presence to define what the future of robotics looks and feels like.
- Own the end-to-end design of a full robotic product, from moodboards, early sketches and surface models to detailed parting lines, CMF, and tooling handoff.
- Present polished design milestones to senior stakeholders with clear, well-rounded rationale - covering not just aesthetics and UX, but also cost, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, and business impact, etc.
- Deliver world-class Class-A surfacing and B-surfaces ready for engineering integration and production - including considerations for mounting geometry, part-to-part fitting, and DFM-led decisions.
- Work directly with cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, software) to solve real-world constraints while preserving strong design intent.
- Balance design quality with business strategy - understanding when to elevate, when to simplify, and how to justify either.
- Produce complete documentation: CMF specs and other manufacturer-ready deliverables.
- Contribute to building a strong design culture - mentoring others, upholding quality, and advocating for design thinking across teams.
Qualifications & Experience
- 5+ years in industrial design, with at least 2-3 full products taken from concept to mass production (not just styling).
- Extreme mastery in Class-A surfacing with surface continuity (Rhino, Alias, etc. with SolidWorks preferred), and knowledge in solid modeling for manufacturing (SolidWorks preferred).
- Deep experience with B-surface building and design for manufacturing: precision geometry, draft angles, split lines, moldability, sealing, and integration with real hardware.
- Experience with rendering and visual comm software (KeyShot + Adobe)
- Strong visual sensibility combined with systemic, multidisciplinary constraint-aware design thinking.
- Extremely comfortable working closely with engineers - not handing off, but building together.
- Bonus: experience in robotics, medical devices, consumer electronics, automotive, or other complex multi-part electromechanical products.
