Industrial Designer Jobs in New Jersey

An Industrial Designer in the manufacturing engineering industry plays a crucial role in the creation and development of new products. They are responsible for developing concepts and designs for manufactured products, such as automobiles, home appliances, and toys. Their work involves extensive research on product use, ergonomics, materials, marketing and production methods to create functional, innovative, and aesthetically pleasing products. They collaborate closely with engineers, market researchers, and other professionals to ensure the feasibility and marketability of the designs.

To be successful in this role, an Industrial Designer should have a strong understanding of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, excellent sketching abilities, and a keen eye for detail. Knowledge in industrial materials and manufacturing processes is also important. They should possess strong problem-solving skills and be able to work collaboratively with engineers and other professionals. A Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Engineering, or a related field is usually required, and a portfolio of design work is often essential when applying for positions. Certifications from recognized institutions such as the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA) could also be beneficial. Individuals aspiring to become Industrial Designers may start their careers as Design Assistants or Junior Designers, or they might have roles in related fields such as Mechanical Engineering or Product Development.
