BISS Product Development is a small, creative, and fun product development company located in the beautiful Lake Norman area, just 30 miles north of Charlotte, NC.  We prosper on creating new, innovative and patented products for our two brands, Risk Racing and STKR Concepts.  Risk Racing is a powersports company with a focus on motocross, while STKR Concepts is a consumer products company with a focus on lighting, flashlights, work lights and some garage products.  


At BISS we take our own product ideas from an initial sketch through to 2D & 3D designs, prototypes, tooling, production, and eventually to the store shelves.  Our designers are deeply involved with every step of the process, including helping to create the marketing and promotional materials that support the products we design.  


It is essential that the right candidate possess the ability to handle multiple projects at the same time and have skill in all aspects of design (brainstorm inventive ideas / sketch / 2D / 3D / prototyping, etc).   


THE DETAILS OF THE JOB


This position will have the opportunity to work on “all things design” and will utilize their creativity and skills every step of the way.  This includes product design, packaging design, collaboration with graphics design and marketing department projects.  With our brands, we dabble in a wide variety of product types, materials, manufacturing processes, and even soft goods.  This person will get to use their creativity and talent to produce content in so many ways.  This is the perfect opportunity to expand your horizons and enhance your career.


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR


  • We are looking for an entry to mid-level designer with a bachelor’s degree in industrial design and at least 0-5 years of professional experience in product design.
  • Ability to develop original ideas, as well as ideas passed down from management, and take them from concept to reality.
  • Exceptional design skills and the ability to communicate form through sketch, 2D, and 3D modeling.
  • Ability to design more than “artistic blue-sky concepts”.  We are dealing in reality, and producing real products.  The candidate must have a comprehensive understanding of the design process as well as the ability to design for various manufacturing and production processes, materials, etc.
  • Strong mechanical inclination.  The ability to design mechanisms and structural designs.
  • Experience in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and 3-D modeling and rendering (Alias, Rhino, Solid Works, Keyshot, etc.)
  • Must be able to take ownership and responsibility for various projects, and have the ability to deliver within given deadlines and budgets. 
  • Our two brands fall into the “tool” and “powersports” markets.  An interest in those industries is a plus!
