## Job description

OssKin is a fast-growing Montreal-based MedTech company shaping the future of human wearable devices in the emerging 3D-printed Medical Device and Orthopedic industries, all while using our proprietary mass customization software and 3D printing technology.

Responsibilities:

OssKin is seeking an Industrial Designer who wants to work within a small tight-knit Product Development team of Engineers and Designers so you can challenge yourself to build complex forms cleanly and beautifully, all while having the opportunity to develop our next generation line of production-ready orthopedic devices. You have a strong sense of manufacturing requirements, but also a good sense of design/aesthetics/flow in art, products, medical devices, and human wearables. In the role, the candidate will need to determine design requirements, plan and execute the design of mechanical devices, develop CAD models (SolidWorks), test prototypes, and produce clear ideation, conception, design, and manufacturing documentation.

- Support team in product development and features through their entire creative cycle: user research, ideation, specification, development, release, analysis, and iteration
- Create Class-A production-ready 3D CAD surfaces and solid bodies using SolidWorks across multiple projects and product categories.
- Perform in-depth on the field user research and user experience
- Utilize good aesthetic and mechanical sensibilities to conceive elegant solutions to complex geometric, ergonomic and mechanical challenges driven by gathered user research and user experience
- Communicate design ideas effectively through sketches, 3D renderings and presentations.
- Oversee and execute the development and manufacturing of physical prototypes for testing
- Collaborate with suppliers and engineers to evaluate product prototypes in order to determine production feasibility and costs
- Plan and execute mechanical designs using CAD (SolidWorks, a must).
- Perform computer simulations and experiments to virtually test and refine the designs.
- Iterate and refine designs based on test feedback, ensuring products meet safety and performance standards.
- Prepares detailed tech packs and manufacturing documentation that effectively communicate designs and how to build products to manufacturers
- Preparing technical reports, design specifications documents, and operational manuals.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, marketing managers and software development team to integrate design concepts seamlessly into the product development process.
- Market Research and Trend Analysis -Stay informed on industry trends, materials and manufacturing processes related to orthotic & prosthetic, and exoskeleton devices.
- Integrate market insights into design concepts to create products that resonate with target audiences.

## Qualifications

- DEC or Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design and/or Product Design
- +3 years of professional experience in Industrial or Product Design (wearables, sports goods, or medical devices is a plus)
- SolidWorks proficiency (a must)
- Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling using Surface and Parametric modeling
- Possess a deep understanding in areas of materials & manufacturing processes (3D-printing, injection molding, CNC machining, and metal forming/casting/extrusion/stamping)
- Experience managing complex part interactions and assemblies.
- Experience in hands-on prototyping, without relying solely on virtual design tools.
- Proficiency with Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Microsoft Office Suite.
