Industrial Design Engineer, ICT equipment & transportation

The Company:
Founded in 1988, Huawei Technologies is one of the world's fastest-growing telecommunications and network solutions providers. At Huawei Technologies, we look for people who share our vision: to enrich life with communication. We are a leading supplier of next-generation telecom networks and currently serve almost all of the world's top 50 operators. Our people are committed to providing innovative products, services and solutions and consider it their mission to create long-term values and growth potential for our clients.
BTS Engineering lab is a highly creative, multidisciplinary and international think-tank dedicated to envisioning strategic product designs and turning them into robust, working solutions.
Huawei Industrial Design Stockholm focuses on designing the next generation of ICT equipment, such as radio units, indoor and outdoor small cells, routers, smart home appliances and automotive ICT products.
Industrial Design at Huawei:
Successful designs answer both needs of human desirability, business viability and technical feasibility.
You will be challenged to identify meaningful insights from user observation, technology trends, changes in society and shifting business models and translate them into appealing design proposals, excellent user experiences, innovative features and sustainable products with superior perceived quality.
You have excellent sensitivity for shape, colour and finishes. You can rationalize design semiotics, though you are not a stylist, but a true innovator with users at heart and a passion for detail.
You understand branding through design and will contribute to the generation of an integrated product portfolio.
You can quickly elaborate ideas, by sketching, 3d modelling, quick and dirty prototyping or 3d printing, for team communication, functional verification and/or aesthetic presentation.
As part of a multidisciplinary team, you will develop designs from conception to manufacturing: basic knowledge of the leading materials and manufacturing processes is a must. An understanding of mechanical and thermal engineering is a plus.
Passionate and objective-minded, you will apply best practices in industrial design, aiming at a world-class, award-winning output.
We are looking for two candidates. One that can join our team immediately and one candidate that can join our team during SEP-OCT. Both positions are thought to be long-term contracts.
Our team operates very much like an internal design studio inside global Huawei. Therefore, the business areas of our projects and their scope and directions can vary and change very often.
Due to this, we have to have a very agile and efficient mode of operation and close communication inside the team. Therefore, these two candidates must be based in Stockholm from the starting date. However, working remotely for part of the workweek will be possible.
Key Responsibilities:
Guide the product development from initial research and concepts to successful products
Communicate ideas and concepts to designers, engineers and other roles within the organization
Maintain a continued understanding of the competition, industry, standards and relevant trends

Requirements:
You have a proven track record of close interaction and successful deliveries to well-known and prestigious clients within the global ICT industry
The deliveries have given you the experience to understand, discuss, and present to senior management in the ICT arena.
You preferably have BA / MA in industrial design and/or design engineering or transportation design
You have 4-6 years of experience in either in-house or consultancy environments
During these years, you have led projects with several designers but also (mainly) /continuously done hands-on designs
You prove excellent feeling for form, proportions and CMF
You have a strong understanding of global trends, technology and fashion
You know manufacturing processes and materials
You are a hands-on innovator and appreciate model making and testing
You are proficient in using tools like Pro-E (WF5 / CREO), Solid Works, Rhino, Key-shot, 3DS, and Adobe PS / AI.
You can work and communicate effectively with engineers and other specialists
You are self-driven and know how to organize work and lead design efforts according to tight schedules.
You understand that assignments can, at times, require travelling abroad.
All this above has given you national and international recognition and a network that supports this.

This is a full-time consultant position.
