ABOUT OBSERVABLE SPACE

At Observable Space, we're redefining how humanity observes and connects with the universe. We're a vertically integrated, high-growth, space technology company building industry-leading precision optics platforms for Earth and in space. Our systems are trusted by thousands of customers, including NASA, JPL, SpaceX, Boeing, RTX, the US Space Force and the U.S. Department of War, leading research institutions and international partners.

We combine precision opto-mechanical hardware, embedded compute, cloud orchestration, and developer-friendly APIs into world class products at scale with in-house manufacturing. From advanced ground stations, on-orbit sensor suites, free space optical lasercom, to distributed compute platforms, we deliver the foundational systems enabling continuous, real-time navigation, observation, and communication in space.

Observable Space is backed by top-tier institutional investors including Lux Capital, Upfront Ventures, RTX Ventures, Detroit Venture Partners and Embedded Ventures. To learn more, visit observable.space http://observable.space.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking an Industrial Designer to shape the next generation of telescopes, laser communications terminals, and space optics hardware. You’ll turn complex technical requirements into thoughtfully designed products, bringing a strong eye for form, an understanding of how people use equipment, and practical knowledge of how hardware gets built.

Working closely with optical, mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, you’ll develop products from early sketches and physical mockups through production. Your work will define how our systems look, feel, and function in the hands of the people who install, operate, and maintain them - and establish a consistent design language across our product family.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead industrial design projects from concept exploration through prototyping, design refinement, and production support.
Develop a cohesive design language across telescopes, optical terminals, enclosures, and supporting equipment.
Communicate and evaluate ideas through sketches, 3D CAD models, renderings, and physical prototypes.
Design for practical use: handling, transport, installation, cable management, operator controls, and access for maintenance.
Partner with engineering teams to integrate optical, mechanical, electrical, and thermal requirements into well-resolved product designs.
Define color, material, and finish specifications, surface details, product markings, and fit-and-finish expectations.
Build and test mockups to evaluate proportions, ergonomics, assembly access, and user workflows.
Work with engineers, fabricators, and suppliers to select appropriate manufacturing processes and carry design intent into finished hardware.
Participate in design reviews and refine products based on prototype testing, manufacturing feedback, and customer experience.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Transportation Design, or a related field - or equivalent professional experience.
5+ years of industrial design experience developing physical products, including products that have reached production.
A strong portfolio demonstrating concept development, aesthetic judgment, 3D modeling, physical prototyping, and finished hardware.
Proficiency in CAD and surface modeling tools such as SolidWorks, Rhino, NX, or Alias, with the ability to exchange usable geometry with engineering teams.
Strong visualization skills using tools such as KeyShot, Blender, or equivalent.
Practical understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, assembly methods, and design for manufacture.
Hands-on experience building prototypes and using them to make design decisions.
Ability to explain design choices clearly, incorporate technical feedback, and manage multiple projects with substantial independence.
Interest in precision instruments, optical technologies, and hardware built for demanding environments.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience designing telescopes, scientific instruments, optical systems, aerospace hardware, robotics, or other technically complex equipment.
Experience with rugged outdoor products, environmental sealing, protective enclosures, and serviceable assemblies.
Familiarity with CNC machining, sheet metal, castings, composites, additive manufacturing, or injection molding.
Understanding of how industrial design choices affect optical clearances, alignment access, thermal behavior, cleanliness, and surface reflections.
Experience observing customers or field teams and translating their needs into product improvements.

PORTFOLIO

Please include a portfolio showing how you develop ideas into real products. We’re interested in your process, your individual contribution, the constraints you worked through, and the quality of the final result.

WHAT WE OFFER

Competitive Compensation – A salary package aligned with industry standards and your experience.

Equity Opportunities – Take part in our success with stock options.

Flexible Work Environment – Enjoy working from our office or in a hybrid work setup with the flexibility to work remotely part of the week. We require a minimum of 3 days per week in our office to support collaboration and team culture. (LA Office only)

Unlimited PTO (Salaried positions only) – Take the time you need with our flexible, trust-based vacation policy, including paid holidays. We encourage everyone to rest, recharge, and take care of themselves.

Health & Wellness – Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage with 100% of the premium paid by the employer for employees.

Cutting-Edge Tools – Get access to the latest hardware and software you need to do your best work.

Mission-Driven Culture – Be part of a team working on meaningful challenges with real-world impact.

Inclusive Team – We foster a supportive and diverse workplace where all voices are valued.
