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, design trends, changes in society and shifting business models and translate them into appealing design proposals, excellent user experiences and innovative features with superior perceived quality.
You have excellent sensitivity for shape, colour and finishes and can rationalise designs semiotics. However, you are not a stylist, 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, prototyping or 3d printing, for team communication, functional verification and/or aesthetic presentations.
You can tackle any project brief and adapt the planning and design process, whether the project is focused on research, innovation, branding, etc.
You enjoy communicating the story of a design and can sell your ideas and guide the audience to understand the final result and everything that lead to it.
You thrive on guiding a team through project planning, driving team-oriented activities and workshops and giving feedback and leading on an individual level.
Key Responsibilities:
You will be part of a creative design team consisting of industrial designers.
Guide the product development from initial research and concepts to successful products
Communicate ideas and concepts to designers, engineers, and management within the organisation
Be responsible for the ID function in a multidisciplinary project team

Requirements:
You have a proven track record with close interaction and successful deliveries to well-known and prestigious clients
The deliveries have given you an experience and convenience to understand, discuss with and present to senior management
You preferably have BA / MA in industrial design and/or design engineering
You have a minimum of 7-8 years of experience in either in-house or consultancy environments
During these years, you have led projects with several designers but also continuously done hands-on designs

You know manufacturing processes and materials
