Original job description
Industrial Designer (Orthopedic Human Wearables)
MedTech3D // Printing // SolidWorks // Wearables // Mass Customization
We're a fast-growing Montreal-based MedTech company redefining what's possible in orthopedic care. Through our proprietary mass customization software and 3D printing technology, we create patient-specific devices that simply weren't possible before. We're a small, driven team - and the problems, solutions and development we're pursuing are big.
What makes this role different
- Real-world impact: Your designs go on real patients. Every curve and contour you define matters.
- Frontier technology: Work with 3D-printing and mass customization at the cutting edge of medical manufacturing.
- Full ownership: Own designs from ideation to production
What you'll do:
- Lead the full creative cycle for next-gen orthopedic devices - from user research and ideation through to production-ready documentation
- Build Class-A 3D CAD surfaces and solid bodies in SolidWorks, working across multiple product categories simultaneously
- Conduct in-depth field research with real users to ground every design decision in lived experience
- Translate complex ergonomic, geometric, and mechanical challenges into elegant, manufacturable solutions
- Communicate concepts through sketches, renderings, and presentations that make ideas immediate and tangible
- Oversee prototype development and collaborate with suppliers and engineers to evaluate feasibility and costs
- Run simulations and iterate designs based on test feedback, ensuring every product meets safety and performance standards
- Produce detailed tech packs and manufacturing documentation that guide production with clarity
- Stay ahead of trends in orthotics, prosthetics, and exoskeleton technology, feeding insights back into the design process
Qualifications
- SolidWorks proficiency (essential)
- 5+ years in Industrial/Product Design
- DEC or Bachelor's in Industrial or Product Design
- Surface and parametric 3D CAD modeling
- Deep knowledge of materials & manufacturing (3D printing, injection molding, CNC, metal forming)
- Experience with complex part assemblies
- Hands-on prototyping experience
- Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, MS Office
- Background in wearables, sports goods, or medical devices (a strong plus)
Salary and Conditions
Salary and conditions according to OssKin's policy and candidate's experience.
