Industrial Design CAD Sculptor, Devices and Services

At Google, we follow a simple but vital premise: "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Google’s Conversation Designers leverage their knowledge of human language and communication to create seamless and natural interactions for digital systems across surfaces.

Our Industrial Design Sculpting team uses a craftsmanship approach to deliver beautiful, production-ready Class-A surfaces. We care about surface quality, aesthetics, and mathematical precision.

As a CAD sculptor, you’ll translate design intent into 3D data for concept development, appearance models, and engineering requirements. You are enthusiastic about 3D modeling with a solid understanding of manufacturing design, and familiarity with rendering or polygonal modeling. Ultimately, you are a flexible thinker excited to use multiple tools to solve design challenges.

Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. Our Devices & Services team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences for users. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make our user's interaction with computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. Whether finding new ways to capture and sense the world around us, advancing form factors, or improving interaction methods, the Devices & Services team is making people's lives better through technology.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
