This role is part of a cross-functional team of researchers, industrial designers, product managers, and engineers, all working together to deliver thoughtful, high-quality design solutions that bridge technology and user experience.

Scope:
• Manage color review documentation and feedback cycles; maintain organized records of master, pass, and rejection samples.
• Facilitate material testing workflows by preparing test samples, coordinating with engineering and reliability teams, and tracking outcomes to guide design choices.
• Actively research and present advanced CMF technologies, finishes, and material innovations.
• Support the development of compelling CMF proposals, including mood boards, renderings, physical samples, and design schematics.
• Collaborate with the Industrial Design team and external vendors/model shops to support prototype builds that accurately reflect CMF intent.
• Curate and manage the CMF material library, ensuring access to relevant and up-to-date samples for the design team.



Required:
• 3–5 years of experience in art, design, industrial design, or a related field; material engineering experience is a strong plus.
• Expert-level proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.); experience with VRED or similar 3D rendering tools is a plus.
• Excellent color perception and sensitivity to detail; a score of 4 or below on the Farnsworth Munsell 100 Hue Test is preferred.
• Highly organized with a strong attention to detail and ability to manage documentation and sample logistics.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative environment, with a track record of integrating feedback and contributing to high-quality design execution.
