Industrial Designer - Healthcare/Medical Devices - IIM/FMS/XLRI

Industrial Designers - Health Care/Medical Devices

- A global healthcare giant needs, Industrial Designers who will conceptualize solutions at the intersection of user needs, design, engineering & technology. Building on the insights & opportunities that emerge from primary user research, the Industrial Designer owns the conceptualization and design of product (tangible) experiences.

- Experience in design research process,

- Identifying opportunities for tangible experiences that solve user needs,

- Designing and prototyping these products / experiences,

- Transitioning the detailed design into engineering / manufacturing & development

Key responsibilities :

- Understanding the business requirements and context for innovation;

- Working with internal and external stakeholders to take inputs and align their perspectives around the framing of the project objectives and approach

- Participating in user interviews and any other interactions with users during research, including creating quick mock-ups or user scenarios to illustrate initial,sacrificial concepts

- Conducting in-depth analysis and reviews of competitive / comparative products in the market, to evaluate the functionality / design / engineering challenges and practices that could inspire new opportunities & solutions

- Participating in the synthesis process with other designers & design researchers, to arrive at consumer insights, needs & opportunities

- Ensure insights & opportunities are translated effectively into functionally & emotionally engaging products or tangible experiences

- Conceptualizing function and form level design systems & specifications that could help apply the design principles to a large portfolio of products and tangible experiences

- Creating rapid, low-fidelity and high-fidelity physical prototypes, and thinking through the engineering / manufacturing / regulatory / production challenges and feasibility

- Participating in user feedback sessions, working closely with the design researcher, and using the feedback to refine the user experience of the product design

- Working closely with stakeholders in production / manufacturing / engineering to take the detailed design forward, towards bringing the solutions to market

Key deliverable s include :

- Sketches, 2D and 3D visualizations & renders

- Low-fidelity prototypes

- High-fidelity, functional / experiential prototypes

- Detailed product design guidelines & specifications

- Detailed manufacturing / production inputs & specifications

The ideal candidate would have :

- 6-10 years relevant work experience as an Industrial Designer, ideally with experience in medical device design or any other complex products.

- Proven experience working in multi-disciplinary teams, as part of strategic design or new product development / innovation projects

- Background in any of these disciplines - Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design

- Worked in a leading design consulting firm or an internal design / innovation team in a large corporate - with exposure to global, product and service innovation & design projects

- Been through the entire product design life-cycle - Conceptualized, designed, developed and seen through the implementation of product design / industrial design solutions

- Traveled extensively around the world

- Insatiable curiosity and interest in new experiences and cultures

- Proven experience in working closely with stakeholders in senior business or technical roles in large corporates, and can effectively address their concerns about the industrial design and engineering aspects of the product

- Passion for healthcare related work
