Harman International Industries

About the Role

We’re looking for a senior designer who can own the end-to-end product experience across industrial design and UI/UX for a tightly integrated hardware + software product.

This is not a “make it pretty” role and not a split-brain handoff position. You will shape how the product looks, feels, and behaves—from enclosure geometry and button placement to screen flows, data hierarchy, and interaction logic.

You’ll work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and product teams to make fast, defensible design decisions that ship.

What You’ll Do

Physical Product & Industrial Design

• Lead industrial design from early concepts through production intent
• Define form factor, layout, CMF, and physical interaction points (buttons, ports, cameras, LEDs, vents, etc.)
• Collaborate with mechanical engineering on:
• Manufacturability
• Tolerances
• Thermal, optical, and ergonomic constraints

*

• Produce sketches, models, and CAD direction sufficient for engineering execution
• Participate in EVT/DVT/PVT reviews with a strong design voice

UI / UX Design

• Own the on-device and companion UI/UX experience
• Design information architecture, screen flows, and interaction models
• Translate complex data into clear, usable visual hierarchies
• Prototype interactions (low and high fidelity) to validate usability early
• Define how physical inputs (buttons, gestures, orientation) map to software behavior

System-Level Ownership

• Act as the single point of accountability for experience quality
• Ensure physical and digital design decisions reinforce each other
• Make tradeoffs when constraints collide (cost, schedule, performance)
• Advocate for the user while understanding engineering and business realities

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 4+ years of experience in product design, with shipped hardware products
• Proven experience spanning both:
• Industrial design of physical products
• UI/UX design for embedded, mobile, or desktop interfaces
• Strong understanding of:
• Human factors & ergonomics
• Manufacturing processes (injection molding, CNC, assembly)
• Usability principles for data-dense interfaces
• Ability to communicate fluently with engineers and make technically grounded design decisions
• Portfolio showing real, shipped products where you owned both physical and digital experience

Preferred

• Experience with small displays or single-screen devices
• Experience in consumer electronics, instruments, medical, automotive, or industrial products
• Comfort working in fast-moving, resource-constrained teams
• Familiarity with EVT/DVT/PVT product cycles

What This Role Is Not

• Not a pure industrial designer
• Not a pure UX/UI designer
• Not a visual stylist disconnected from engineering
• Not a committee-driven design role
• You will have real authority and real accountability.

Tools (flexible, not dogmatic)

• Industrial: sketching, CAD (SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion, etc.)
• UX/UI: Figma, prototyping tools
• Whatever helps you think clearly and communicate effectively

Why This Role Exists

Our product experience depends on tight integration between hardware and software. Splitting ownership slows decisions and degrades quality. This role exists to ensure coherence, speed, and excellence from concept to production.

Success Looks Like

• Products that feel intentional, not stitched together
• Fewer late-stage usability surprises
• Faster alignment between design and engineering
• Users who “get it” instantly when they pick it up
