Career Opportunities

A product designer begins with a concept, then transforms it into a working design that specifies the size, shape, style, dimensions, and materials needed. Because this skill is needed for the production of millions of industrial and consumer goods, designers are in great demand.

Their knowledge of design, engineering analysis, manufacturing processes, and communication techniques are valued in industries across the United States. Employment opportunities exist across the spectrum of the product design field wherever products are produced, designers will be found.

Specific job titles include Product Designer, Layout Drafter, Project Manager, Product Developer, Computer-Aided Designer, Mechanical Designer, Project Engineering, and Design Engineer.
