Industrial Designer / Design Engineer
About IO\-CO
IO\-CO is an applied research, product development and venture creation studio focused on building science\-led technologies that improve human health, performance and wellbeing.
Working across R\&D, industrial design, engineering and behavioural neuroscience, we develop innovative products and systems from early\-stage research through to prototyping, validation and commercialisation.
Our work spans consumer products, health technology, intelligent systems and emerging technologies — combining scientific insight with hands\-on product development to create meaningful real\-world impact.
We are a small, agile and highly creative team that values curiosity, experimentation and people who love building new things.
The Role
We are looking for an Industrial Designer / Design Engineer to join our team.
Ideally you will have 2\+ years experience in physical product design / industrial design / design engineering, although we are open to less experienced candidates if they are the right fit.
This is a broad multidisciplinary role that requires adaptability and a willingness to work across design, engineering and R\&D. The ideal candidate will be comfortable operating between industrial design and technical development, with an interest in both creative thinking and hands\-on problem solving.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly capable, proactive and self\-driven, and excited by the process of exploring, prototyping and developing innovative products. You’ll work across a wide range of projects — from early\-stage research and concept generation through to testing, development and product delivery.
There is significant opportunity to take ownership of projects and help turn ideas into real products within a small and agile team. We are looking for someone with a strong builder mindset who enjoys autonomy, responsibility and rapidly testing, validating and improving ideas through hands\-on development.
What You’ll Be Doing
· Designing and developing innovative physical products and systems
· Working across R\&D, industrial design and product development
· Generating concepts through sketching, CAD and rapid prototyping
· Building and testing functional prototypes and proof\-of\-concepts
· Collaborating with engineers, manufacturers and external partners
· Exploring new technologies, materials and product opportunities
· Taking products from early concepts through to validated solutions
Skills \& Experience
· Product Design, Industrial Design or Product Design Engineering background
· Strong CAD capability (SolidWorks preferred)
· Communicative sketching, ideation and visual communication skills
· Good understanding of manufacturing processes and product development
· Hands\-on experience developing and iterating physical products
· Familiarity with prototyping consumer electronics using platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and similar systems
· Interest in emerging AI tools and evolving product development workflows
