Industrial Designer, Fauna

Amazon • New York, NY • 24min ago

Description

As a Industrial Designer, you will be embedded in the mechanical design process, working closely with Design Engineers and the broader hardware team to develop and refine the surfaced geometry of robot exterior parts. This role will translate design direction into production-ready Class A surfaces, owning cosmetic finish specifications, and supporting CMF decisions that hold up through tooling and manufacturing. You're someone who gets excited about getting a parting line right and knows how to have a productive conversation with a tooling vendor about texture.

Key job responsibilities

Surfacing & Production CAD

Own Class A surface development for injection molded exterior parts, working from approved concept geometry or sketches to production-intent 3D models

Collaborate closely with Design Engineers to ensure surfaced geometry is DFM-compliant - maintaining appropriate draft, wall thickness, and parting line strategy without compromising design intent

Maintain and refine surface models through tooling development, incorporating feedback from T0/T1 sample reviews

Support 2D cosmetic drawing callouts including surface finish, texture zones, parting line locations, and appearance critical areas

Cosmetic Finish & CMF

Define and document cosmetic finish specifications for molded and machined parts

Develop and manage CMF documentation: material callouts, color standards, finish samples, and approval criteria for production

Source and evaluate finish and texture options in collaboration with tooling vendors and surface finish suppliers

Maintain cosmetic appearance standards and support first article cosmetic inspection criteria

Cross-Functional Design Support

Work with the team to evaluate cosmetic samples and proto@types against intent - communicating clearly what's acceptable, what needs correction, and why

Support design reviews by preparing clear visual references, annotated models, and finish sample boards

Assist in evaluating and selecting materials and finishes for new components during NPI

Contribute to maintaining a consistent, coherent product language across the robot's exterior

About the team

Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.

We believe that future won't arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We're changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.

Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We're building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful.

At Fauna, you'll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It's an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.

If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we're interested in hearing from you.
