About the role

At TP-Link Systems Inc., we design technology that lives with people — not apart from them. From Wi-Fi systems to smart home devices, our products shape how millions connect, work, and feel at home in a digital world. We're looking for a Senior Industrial Designer to bring bold ideas and refined execution to the next generation of TP-Link products.

Responsibilities

  • Shape the Future of Connected Living
  • Lead design projects from concept to launch — translating advanced technology into forms that are elegant, intuitive, and human.
  • Champion Design Craft
  • Create products that balance emotion and engineering — where every line, surface, and proportion has intent.
  • Bring a sculptor’s eye and a maker’s curiosity to every project.
  • Collaborate and Influence
  • Work closely with engineers, product managers, and CMF designers to ensure design integrity from concept through mass production.
  • Explore and Experiment
  • Push beyond what’s expected. Explore materials, finishes, and interactions that reflect TP-Link’s forward-thinking identity.
  • Prototype, test, and refine until simplicity meets magic.
  • Tell the Story
  • Communicate your design intent through clear storytelling — sketches, renderings, mockups, and presentations that inspire both creative peers and non-design stakeholders.

Requirements

  • Experience & Education
  • Bachelor’s degree or higher in Industrial Design or a related field.
  • 6+ years of professional experience designing and launching consumer products.
  • Experience in consumer electronics, smart home, or technology-driven product design preferred.
  • Design Expertise
  • Strong foundation in user-centered design and manufacturing methods.
  • Expert-level skills in 3D CAD (Rhino, SolidWorks) and rendering (KeyShot, Adobe Creative Suite, etc.).
  • Confident hands-on prototyping and model-making abilities.
  • Portfolio that demonstrates exceptional form development, storytelling, and attention to detail.
  • Mindset & Values
  • Passion for creating beautiful, meaningful products that make technology feel natural.
  • Collaborative energy — open-minded, curious, and eager to learn.
  • Ability to take feedback gracefully and turn insight into stronger ideas.

Benefits

  • Salary Range: $120,000 - $160,000
  • Free snacks and drinks
  • Full-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (partial coverage for dependents)
  • Contributions to 401k funds
  • Bi-annual reviews, and annual pay increases
  • Health and wellness benefits, including free gym membership
  • Quarterly team-building events
