Industrial Design Intern

Industrial Design Intern

Location: Los Angeles, CA (Onsite)
Compensation: $25-30/hr
Start date: Immediately
Duration: 3 months

About the Role

SprintRay is looking for an Industrial Design Intern who is excited to learn how physical products go from an idea to something customers use every day.

You'll work alongside industrial designers and mechanical engineers on SprintRay's resin 3D printing hardware for dental applications. This internship is focused on physical UX — how products look, feel, open, load, clean, and operate — and on learning how design decisions translate into manufacturable hardware.

This is a hands-on internship. You'll sketch, model, prototype, print, test, and iterate rather than spending all of your time behind a screen. We're looking for someone curious, resourceful, and excited to build things.

Key Responsibilities

• Support industrial design development across SprintRay's hardware portfolio

• Create sketches, CAD concepts, renderings, and presentation materials

• Build physical prototypes using 3D printing, foam, and other rapid-prototyping methods

• Help evaluate ergonomics, proportions, usability, and physical interactions

• Work with industrial designers and mechanical engineers to iterate concepts

• Assist with SolidWorks modeling and design development

• Explore form, materials, finishes, and manufacturing approaches

• Participate in design reviews and learn how concepts progress toward production

• Help maintain design consistency across products and accessories

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing a bachelor's or master's degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related discipline

• Portfolio demonstrating strong fundamentals in form, proportion, sketching, CAD, and physical product design

• Comfortable building things by hand and rapidly prototyping ideas

• Familiarity with SolidWorks; Rhino, KeyShot, or similar tools are a plus

• Basic understanding of common manufacturing processes such as injection molding, CNC, or sheet metal

• Strong curiosity and willingness to learn

• Comfortable receiving feedback and iterating quickly

• Interest in complex physical products, hardware, or consumer electronics

What You'll Learn

You'll get exposure to the full hardware-development process and work directly with designers and engineers developing real products. The goal is for you to leave the internship with stronger industrial design judgment, deeper manufacturing knowledge, and meaningful hands-on product-development experience.

Employment Type

Full-time internship, 3-6 months
