Look for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design or a related field. Experience with CAD software, prototyping, and a strong portfolio demonstrating creativity and problem-solving skills are also crucial.
While industry-specific experience can be beneficial, a designer’s ability to adapt, learn quickly, and apply design principles across different sectors is often more valuable. Focus on their overall skills and approach to design challenges.
Proficiency in 3D modeling software like SolidWorks, Rhino, or Fusion 360 is typically essential. Familiarity with rendering software such as Keyshot or V-Ray, and 2D design tools like Adobe Creative Suite is also valuable.
Review their portfolio for diverse, innovative projects. During interviews, present a design challenge and ask them to walk you through their problem-solving process. Look for unique approaches and the ability to think outside the box.
Both are important. Technical skills ensure they can execute designs, while soft skills like communication, teamwork, and adaptability are crucial for collaborating with other departments and clients. Aim for a balance of both.
Ask about their experience with different manufacturing methods, such as injection molding, CNC machining, or 3D printing. Discuss how they’ve optimized designs for production in past projects.
Sustainability is increasingly important. Look for designers who demonstrate knowledge of eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and lifecycle considerations in their work.
Besides skills assessment, include team members in the interview process. Ask about their preferred work environment and past collaborative experiences to gauge cultural fit.
Ask about challenging projects they’ve worked on, how they approach design constraints, and examples of how they’ve turned setbacks into opportunities. This will reveal their problem-solving approach.
