Human-computer interface research and experimentation lab. Backed by South Park Commons.
About the role
Lead the exterior design of LeLamp across product generations, and maintain consistency as the product platform evolves. Develop the product’s visual language, form, materials, and emotional presence.
What they're looking for
- Care deeply about how everyday objects fit into people's lives and homes
- Can hold creative direction steady across a long, messy development process without losing the thread
- Move quickly and can iterate through physical samples and vendor feedback without losing design direction
- Take ownership over the aesthetic quality of the product, even in stages of the process they don't directly control
- Work well in small, collaborative teams where the industrial designer and mechanical engineer are often the same conversation
- Think about the full arc from concept to shipped unit and hold the thread throughout
More about this role
Human Computer Lab is a research lab building character robots that feel alive and responsive. Our first robot, LeLamp, explores a new category of consumer robotics where everyday objects become interactive and help us reshape our attachment to technology.
Our goal is to push the frontier of human-robot interaction by making technology more legible, emotionally intuitive, and human-centered. We are building the foundation for a new generation of robots designed for everyday environments.
We’re looking for a designer who thinks deeply about how objects make people feel and wants to shape what LeLamp looks like, how it interacts with people, and what it communicates just by sitting on a table. This isn’t about styling around existing hardware, it’s about defining the visual and physical language of a new kind of object without precedent. You’ll work closely with the CEO and founding team to take the robot’s exterior form from early sketches through physical samples to shipped products.
Lead the exterior design of LeLamp across product generations, and maintain consistency as the product platform evolves.
