Thuma is hiring an industrial designer to join its team working remotely in San Francisco.
The Thuma team is looking for an industrial designer to join our lean, fast-growing, remote team. We hire for integrity, initiative, collaborative spirit, open mindedness, and willingness to learn.
While Thuma is based in San Francisco, our team is spread across the country. This role is San Francisco-based. Understand and speak brand philosophy.
What you’ll do:
- identify new product opportunities with key markets and customers
- set design requirements based on briefs from internal teams and external partners
- define product specifications, including functional, formal, and material
- research materials and manufacturing techniques
- visualize and document designs using appropriate 2D and 3D techniques — sketches, sketch models, massing and mechanical studies, digital rendering, photography and motion graphics, technical drawings, etc.
- detail complete product experiences from purchase to unboxing, assembly, usage, and end-of-life
- champion product excellence during development, manufacturing and post-launch
- gather feedback from customers
This might describe you:
- three-five years’ experience as industrial designer (or similar)
- a combination of studio and in-house design experience is preferable
- ideally you have shipped a real product to customers
- BS/MS in industrial design, product design, or relevant discipline

- time-management and self-organization skills
- excellent verbal and visual communication skills
- an insatiable appetite for quality and improvement
- willingness to learn anything necessary to do good work
- you are comfortable with ambiguity and autonomy
- you’re able to manage your time and add value that the broader team can feel without being told what to do
- you’re a team player and come to each new project with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn
