About the Job
About Us
Ovyl is a product development firm working on an exciting range of consumer electronics, lifestyle products, and medical devices. We're currently expanding our team in Nashville, Tennessee to include another Industrial Designer.
About You
You are compulsive about learning new things, even if you're not sure when you will use the knowledge. You pride yourself on being a good question-asker which allows you to refine vague instructions until you have a clear direction. You are comfortable with using power tools, but you're careful enough to not make all of us uncomfortable with you using them. You probably even keep up with Industrial Design trends and practice your craft in spare time. To you, making things and solving problems is the most fun you could have at work, and that's why you are reading this now.
In this role, you will:
- Sketch design concepts that you or others have come up with.
- Scrap together many quick mock-ups from all kinds of materials, especially 3D-printed ones.
- Make clients happy by understanding them, solving their problems, and keeping them engaged.
- Do real work on products that are meant to go into production.
- Design and assemble high-quality prototypes.
- Build CAD models using Onshape.
- Work closely with the Ovyl team.
- Provide excellent documentation for your designs from initial research to calculations to finished specifications for manufacturing.
Ideal candidates:
- Have 3 or more years of professional Industrial Design experience
- Experience on cross-disciplinary teams producing electronic devices
- Are comfortable engaging with clients and internal teams through verbal communication and digital presentations.
- Have a BA or MA in Industrial Design.
- Have experience in product and user research.
- Can communicate your ideas effectively via sketches, CAD, and prototypes.
Requirements:
- Must have a portfolio that demonstrates your skills.
- Must live in Nashville, TN area or be willing to relocate. You must be able to work on-site when needed, but once you're settled in you can be flexible with when and where you work provided you can attend important meetings in-person, or prototype things with others when needed.
- Must be allowed to work in the USA now and in the future. We cannot support visas at this time.
Compensation, Benefits, & Perks
All full time employees at Ovyl get the following benefits:
- Health Insurance: Ovyl covers 100% of your health insurance premium. You pay the difference for a spouse and/or dependents.
- Dental, Vision, HSA: Ovyl offers these plans but does not contribute to their premiums.
- 401k + 3%: Ovyl contributes 3% no matter what (it's guaranteed, not a match). By default you contribute an additional 6% which you can change.
- Quarterly bonuses: Our success is your success. Every quarter, we set aside a portion of Ovyl's bottom line to distribute to every team-member proportionally to their salary.
- Flexible schedules & WFH: While the expectation is a full-time commitment (40h/wk), and there will be some required time in the studio, you'll get to enjoy a lot of flexibility on when and where you work. Want to work from home 2 days a week? Do it. Is it too perfect to be inside on a Tuesday? Work Saturday instead.
- Unlimited paid time off: We're not counting vacation days and sick days, we're just looking at your work. We strongly encourage a minimum of two weeks vacation plus sick and personal days but if you're meeting deadlines, keeping projects on track, and making clients happy, we're flexible on everything else.
- Company events: We take an afternoon off work a few times a year to have fun, hang out, and get to know each other.
- Maker Stipend: We want to employ people who freaking love to make stuff, so we'll reimburse up to $600/year of any personal project spending. Put it toward building a new headboard for your bed, or buying a really nice hot-glue gun, or getting an Arduino kit and figuring out how to automate your herb garden.
- Learning Stipend: We also want to employ people who love learning, so we also reimburse up to $200/year for any educational resources. You can put it towards audiobooks, online courses, workshops, or events, to name a few.
- Access to 3D printers for personal use: If the printers aren't needed for a project, have at 'em. If it's something small, it's probably ok to just print it. If it's something big or a mini production run, we may ask that you bring your own material.
- Stocked fridge and snacks: We'll stay stocked up on healthy snacks, carbonated water, coffee, tea, and beer.
Join Nashville's best product dev consultancy: You'll get to learn new skills working alongside a great team on a wide variety of products, from medical devices that save lives to consumer products that light up a Kickstarter campaign.?
The pay range for this role is:
81,500 - 92,300 USD per year(US)
