Industrial Designer

About Us CYVL is a Physical AI company on a mission to bring Infrastructure Intelligence to every city, town, and community on the planet. We help governments plan, build, and maintain the physical infrastructure that people depend on every day (roads, sidewalks, bridges, utilities, and more) better than ever before. We pioneered an end‑to‑end approach that combines purpose‑built hardware, computer vision, cloud data pipelines, and AI to transform raw LiDAR and imagery into a living, structured understanding of the built world. Our platform turns what used to take months of manual inspection into actionable intelligence that is easy for any agency to use, saving cities time, money, and resources across hundreds of communities nationwide. At CYVL, we’re building toward a future where every piece of public infrastructure on Earth is captured, understood, and continuously monitored, so the agencies responsible for it and the residents who rely on it can make better decisions, faster. That’s the power of Physical AI applied to the real world. We’re a fast‑moving, high‑growth team based in Boston, MA that believes in solving real‑world problems with authenticity, simplicity, and boldness. Every member of our team is empowered to take ownership, deliver results, and leave a lasting impact on the communities we serve. About You We map the physical world, and our next‑generation sensor is the instrument that does it. We want it to feel less like equipment and more like something you’d be proud to hold. Think Sonos: the weight of a well‑made tool, premium outdoor gear that is rugged and beautiful. As our Hardware Product Designer / Design Strategist, you will own the full design vision for the CYVL sensor and prove that high‑complexity mapping technology can feel genuinely human: tactile, elegant, and intuitive. This is a contract / consultant engagement (with potential to extend) based in Somerville, MA, hybrid or remote OK, reporting to the Founder & CEO in close partnership with hardware engineering. Key Responsibilities Own the full design vision for the CYVL sensor: form, materials, finish, and feel Take shell and enclosure concepts through to refined mockups Make material and tactile decisions that read as premium Iterate tightly with our hardware and engineering team Deliver a handoff package ready to scale with our contract manufacturer Qualifications Deep industrial design chops: you own the vision, not just the CAD A portfolio that shows restraint, premium materials, and intuitive physical interaction Fluency in CAD, material science, and the design‑to‑manufacturing loop A “less is more” design philosophy, demonstrated through your work Nice to Have Experience with products where the object in your hand carries the brand: Sonos, Apple hardware, GoPro, or high‑end outdoor equipment A track record of making something complex feel inevitable, and a belief that less is more Our Values At CYVL, the technology we build directly impacts the roads people drive on, the sidewalks their kids walk to school on, and the infrastructure that keeps communities running. We move fast, we care deeply: about the work, about our customers, and about each other. This is a team where trust isn’t a talking point, it’s how we operate. Our values guide how we operate and shape a team that is genuinely RAARE: Real – authentic, transparent, focused on solving real problems with simple, effective solutions. All Out – bold, driven, and committed to delivering results that matter. Accelerating – always learning, growing, and moving with intention. Reliable – we follow through and deliver at a consistently high bar. Empowering – we lift each other up and help governments build infrastructure they can be proud of. At Cyvl, we welcome diversity in all forms. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic. #J-18808-Ljbffr CYVL
