Auckland City, New Zealand Basis Full time

**About Us**

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a real difference in your next role?

Why? As a society, we need to decarbonise and accelerate the transition to alternative energy sources. Existing solutions are expensive and disparate, with limited functionality.

Basis is driven by purpose, real innovation, and ambition. We have a talented team spread across New Zealand, with a creative space by the beach in Takapuna, and a Design Lab in Christchurch where our physical products come to life.

We are well-funded and ready to grow. Our team is smart, curious and has some big goals - so if you’re interested in joining a fast-growing startup that is design-led and puts people at its core, then we’d love to hear from you

We're also currently in stealth mode, so check out our website and we'll share more with you during the recruitment process

**The Role**

We are seeking an experienced and highly skilled Senior Industrial Designer to contribute meaningfully as a key member of our wider design team. You will play a pivotal role in shaping and advancing Basis' groundbreaking, proprietary smart home solutions. As a senior member of the design team, you will not only get your hands dirty contributing to the design and development process but will also be instrumental in advancing our overarching usability and aesthetic vision.

Basis' design philosophy is deeply ingrained in real innovation, re-thinking the status quo and taking bets. Your seasoned design skills will have an immediate and lasting impact on our customers and the industry. Our work environment thrives on collaboration, inclusivity, and a high-performance culture, offering you the opportunity to leverage your strengths with a top-tier product development team. It is hard work here, but it is rewarding.

Some of the things that you might be involved in include:

- Contributing significantly to the design and development of Basis' HW products and experiences.
- Transforming your design concepts into various artifacts, including sketches, prototypes, CAD models, and final renderings.
- Engaging and collaborating with a broad and technical community to gain a deep understanding of our users' needs, drivers and expectations.
- Collaborating with the broader design and development teams to take industrial design intent into engineering, marketing, and manufacturing reality.
- Planning and carrying out research, ideation, testing and refinement to ensure our products are usable, desirable and fit for purpose.
- Contribute to strategic discussions, influencing design directions and roadmaps.
- Drive continuous experimentation and explore unconventional ideas.
- Some travel may be required from time to time.

**About You**

We think you’ll be a fit for this role if you possess the following skills or experience:

- At least 6 years of professional experience in a similar role
- You possess extensive experience and an expert understanding of design principles, theories, and concepts, gained through years of relevant work experience or study.
- Your ideation and sketching abilities set you apart and are clearly communicated and compelling.
- You are adept at using 2D and 3D CAD software packages. With proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite, Onshape, Solidworks (or other CAD modelling software), Keyshot and other design tools.
- You exhibit creativity, curiosity, and an analytical mindset, combining out-of-the-box thinking with data-driven insights. A senior role requires a strategic, yet pragmatic approach
- Ambiguity is your ally, and you comfortably think beyond conventional boundaries.
- Your communication skills are clear, strong, and versatile, enabling you to articulate the benefits of effective design verbally and through execution.
- You are a team player, collaborating seamlessly with cross-functional teams, including developers, engineers, and product managers.
- You are able to understand complex trade-offs and make confident decisions that align with the businesses priorities.
- While a relevant bachelor's degree or diploma is valued, your extensive experience and portfolio of work take precedence.

Some nice to haves include:

- Previous experience working on product ecosystems that integrate physical and digital products, offering seamless experiences between the two.

**Benefits**
- A competitive salary and employee share scheme (ESOP)
- A hybrid-first culture - work from home or come into the office, flexibility is welcomed
- Unlimited annual leave so that you can take the time that you need to re-energise
- Tools of the trade, including laptop and headphones, and we also pay your phone bill
- Flexible hours - we focus on effort and outcomes, so adjust your hours around your children, hobbies, or other commitments
- A schedule of fun team events throughout the year (ziplining, knife throwing, lawn games, what's next?)
- Office dogs
- Access to Clearhead, our well-being programme which gives you 5x free sessions with a psychologis
