Facade Product Designer

Unistone is looking for a designer to develop contemporary, manufacturable aluminium sheet-metal facade products.

The role is suited to someone who can turn design concepts into coordinated 3D models, fabrication drawings and production-ready files. Experience with a facade or architectural-metal company is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design facade cassettes, folded panels, screens, fins, louvers and other custom sheet-metal elements.
• Develop repeatable product families and parametric patterns for architectural use.
• Prepare 3D models, fabrication drawings, flat patterns, DXF/STEP files, BOMs and assembly details.
• Coordinate designs with CNC cutting, punching, bending, welding and finishing processes.
• Develop practical fixing systems and details for facade installation.
• Work with the sales, production and installation teams to resolve design and manufacturing requirements.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of Rhino, Grasshopper and SolidWorks.
• Experience designing aluminium sheet-metal or facade products.
• Understanding of sheet development, bend allowances, fabrication tolerances, material thicknesses and assembly methods.
• Ability to create clear production drawings and communicate with workshop teams.
• A portfolio showing relevant faade, metal or product-design work is required.

Experience: Preferably 3+ years in facade design, architectural metal or sheet-metal product design
