Join CDG: Mid-Level Industrial Designer (3-5+ Years Experience)

Shape the Future of Innovation in Chicago

About Us

CHOI Design Group (CDG) isn’t just a design studio—we’re a legacy. Founded in 1994 by Charles Choi, we’ve spent nearly 30 years turning bold ideas into iconic products for global brands, startups, and everything in between. From life-saving medical devices to cutting-edge consumer tech, our small but mighty Chicago team thrives on diversity, creativity, and ownership. Now, as we grow, we’re seeking a self-driven Industrial Designer ready to lead projects from concept to production and leave their mark on the next generation of design.

The Role

You’re the Missing Piece.

As a Mid-Level Industrial Designer, you’ll own projects end-to-end in a role that blends creativity, strategy, and hands-on execution. No hand-holding. No micromanaging. Just you, your talent, and a team of senior designers cheering you on.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead projects from brainstorming to manufacturing, collaborating directly with clients like Fortune 500 giants and disruptive startups.
  • Craft award-worthy designs across consumer goods, medical devices, and commercial products.
  • Solve complex challenges with mechanical aptitude, balancing aesthetics, usability, and manufacturability.
  • Present concepts to clients and refine ideas based on feedback—no ego, just excellence.
  • Mentor junior team members (future hires!) and grow into a leadership role as we scale.

What We’re Looking For

You’re a Swiss Army Knife of Design.

3 -5+ years of professional industrial design experience (agency/consultancy preferred).

A portfolio that screams versatility: sketch ideation, 3D modeling, UX/UI touches, and products in production.

Software mastery: SolidWorks (non-negotiable), Keyshot, Adobe Suite, and sketching tools (Cintiq/Sketchbook Pro).

Bonus points for motion/animation skills, 3D printing savvy, or cross-functional work with engineers.

A mindset that’s equal parts artist and entrepreneur: You obsess over user needs, market trends, and business outcomes.

Soft Skills That Set You Apart

Thrive in chaos? Our studio is fast-paced, collaborative, and never boring.

Communicate like a pro—clients trust you, teammates respect you.

Hungry to learn? We’ll invest in your growth with workshops, conferences, and mentorship.

Why Join CDG?

Small Studio, Big Perks.

Ownership & Impact: See your designs on shelves fast. No red tape.

Work with Legends: Learn from Charles Choi (30+ years in the game) and a tight-knit team of senior designers.

Diverse Projects: One day you’re designing a smart home device, the next a breakthrough medical tool.

Flexibility: Hybrid schedule, summer Fridays, and a Ukrainian Village studio stocked with snacks, prototypes, and creativity.

Grow With Us: We’re expanding—your role could evolve into leadership, client management, or niche specialties.
