Industrial Design Engineer 3

Description:

Essential Job Duties

· Audit the current VR application and accumulated user feedback; recommend a holistic strategy to improve usability, cohesiveness, and learning outcomes while retaining the application's core direction

· Propose interaction designs informed by XR best practices, usability risks, and customer feedback while balancing hardware constraints, timelines, and development effort

· Rapidly produce design concepts (user flows, sketches, prototypes) from product requirements and mature them into functional requirements the development team can implement in Unity

· Facilitate design reviews; communicate design rationale and trade-offs clearly; incorporate input from product management, human factors engineering, and development; drive decisions toward implementation

· Collaborate with Human Factors to convert identified usability risks and findings into practical, implementable design requirements

· Design or refine XR interactions that are intuitive and easy to learn for novice XR users

· Establish and maintain a design repository documenting XR interaction best practices, human factors heuristics, and product-specific visual and interaction designs

Required Skills and Experience

· 4+ years of hands-on experience designing, prototyping, and shipping XR/VR products

· Portfolio demonstrating strong XR design judgment with shipped products and measurable usability improvements

· Track record of delivering incremental improvements within an established product direction while maintaining a cohesive long-term design strategy

· Demonstrated ability to work shoulder-to-shoulder with developers during design sprints to implement functional requirements

Required Education and Training

· Bachelor's degree in Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Industrial Design, or related field — or equivalent professional experience
