Industrial Designer Jobs in Edison, NJ

An Industrial Designer in the manufacturing engineering industry plays a crucial role in the creation and development of new products. They are responsible for developing concepts and designs for manufactured products, such as automobiles, home appliances, and toys.

They collaborate closely with engineers, market researchers, and other professionals to ensure the feasibility and marketability of the designs.

To be successful in this role, an Industrial Designer should have a strong understanding of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, excellent sketching abilities, and a keen eye for detail. Knowledge in industrial materials and manufacturing processes is also important.
