Head of Product Design

UnlimitedIRL builds premium live streaming systems and production workflows for the biggest creators, brands, and live events. We’re hiring a full-time Head of Product Design to lead the design of both our physical products and the software experiences around them.

This role is for someone who can own product design end-to-end - concept → CAD → prototype → iteration → manufacturing readiness - while keeping everything clean, functional, and premium.

This is a fully in-office role in Culver City because the work is highly collaborative.

Responsibilities

Product Design Leadership (Core)

• Own product design direction across UnlimitedIRL hardware + accessories + ecosystem
• Define product requirements with engineering + operations (real constraints, real timelines)
• Drive early-stage concepts, iteration, and decision-making
• Maintain design consistency across products (fit/finish, materials, aesthetic, usability)

Industrial Design + Mechanical Design (Primary)

• Design hardware products and accessories (mounts, cages, enclosures, backpacks, kits)
• Produce CAD for parts, assemblies, and integration into real production builds
• Create drawings/specs for manufacturing and vendor quoting
• Prototype quickly (3D prints, off-the-shelf parts, vendor samples)
• Solve real-world issues: cable management, thermals, tolerances, fasteners, durability

Manufacturing + Supplier Execution

• Work directly with suppliers and fabricators (US + overseas)
• Support DFM/DFA improvements and cost optimization without sacrificing quality
• Manage revisions, ECO-style changes, and production readiness
• Create clear documentation: BOMs, assembly instructions, packaging, labeling

Software / UI Design Support (Secondary)

• Partner with engineering on software UX for internal tools and user-facing workflows
• Design UI for product setup flows, dashboards, status screens, and control panels
• Create product visuals + diagrams in Figma when needed

Qualifications (Must Have)

• 5–10+ years in product design / industrial design / mechanical design (consumer hardware preferred)
• Strong portfolio showing real shipped products (not just renders)
• Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, or similar)
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and materials:
• CNC, sheet metal, injection molding, 3D printing, anodizing, powder coat, etc.
• Comfortable owning projects end-to-end and working cross-functionally
• Strong attention to detail: tolerances, fitment, assembly, durability, finish
• Able to move fast while keeping quality high

Bonus Points (Nice to Have)

• Software engineering experience (including vibe coding)
• Experience designing products for creators, cameras, AV, or mobile streaming workflows
• Experience with soft goods (bags, straps, padding, textiles, outdoor materials)
• Experience with packaging design + unboxing experience
• Understanding of electronics/mechanical integration (heatsinks, airflow, EMI, connectors)
• Figma experience for product UI or documentation
• Familiar with prototyping workflows (Shapr3D, KeyShot, rapid renders, etc.)

Education

• Bachelor’s degree preferred (Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or similar)
• Not required if you have exceptional experience and a strong portfolio

Portfolio Required

Must include examples of:

• physical products you designed and shipped
• CAD screenshots/renders + real prototypes or production photos
• documentation or drawings (if available)
• any design work showing systems thinking (not one-off parts)
