Design architectural building components and scalable product systems for ZURU’s residential construction platform. Develop design rules, parametric logic, CAD templates, and product guidelines while balancing aesthetics, functionality, building codes, and manufacturing constraints. Collaborate with design, engineering, software, and manufacturing teams to take concepts through production, improve manufacturability, and streamline the design-to-production process.

About ZURU Tech

ZURU Tech is on a mission to digitalize construction — building the world's first BIM software that takes a home from your screen to your street. You design it. We build it.

We're rebuilding the housing system from the ground up, redesigning every aspect along the way. This isn't iteration — it's a full reinvention of how the world builds homes.

Part of the broader ZURU Group, ZURU Tech has grown rapidly. We don't just improve the construction process — we're replacing it. Fueling that vision is a highly innovative, well-funded team moving at startup pace — with the resources and reach of a global company behind it.

Position Overview
We're redesigning how homes are designed and built, and we're looking for an Industrial Designer to join our ZURU Tech Housing team in Los Angeles. You'll design the building components that make up a ZURU home and write the rules that decide how they fit together, so one system can be designed, manufactured and built anywhere in the world. You're a systems thinker who sees past the single product to the whole, and you love turning complex requirements into simple, repeatable solutions
How you'll help us grow

• Design architectural products that balance aesthetics, functionality and user experience with how each component works inside the wider building system

• Develop scalable product systems and design rules that weigh design intent against building code and manufacturing constraints

• Take products from concept through production with engineering and manufacturing: develop, test, refine and solve challenges along the way

• Translate design intent into parametric logic that ZURU's software uses to generate products and configurations automatically

• Build and maintain design standards, CAD templates and product guidelines that keep the whole system consistent

• Sharpen the design-to-production process so ideas reach the factory faster and cleaner

• Simplify products and improve manufacturability: if a part can be simpler or more flexible, make it so

What Helps You Win Here

• Systems thinking: you naturally look beyond individual products to how components, rules and processes work together at scale

• Strong industrial design skills: a good grasp of aesthetics, functionality, materials, user experience, and how products are manufactured and assembled

• Proficiency with CAD/3D modeling and rendering tools: Rhino, Grasshopper or similar parametric tools are a plus

• A solid understanding of residential construction and building codes: you balance design intent with real-world technical and manufacturing requirements

• A cross-disciplinary problem solver: you communicate clearly with designers, engineers, software developers and manufacturers, and turn complex requirements into simple, practical solutions

Think you've got what it takes? Apply now and tell us your story.

 
Who thrives at ZURU

This isn't a 9-to-5. We move fast, think big and set goals most companies would call impossible, then go after them. The people who thrive here are entrepreneurs at heart. They own their work, chase bold ideas and never stop raising the bar.

At ZURU, you drive your career, and we give you the platform to take it as far as you can. There are opportunities here that you won’t find anywhere else, and you'll be surrounded by talented people who make things happen. We're a true meritocracy: we reward impact, not tenure.

How we work

Big ideas happen when great people work side by side, so we're office-first by design. Being together means faster collaboration, sharper decisions and stronger teams, and it's where the real learning happens. Some flexibility may be available depending on the role, location and business needs, but most roles are office-based.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
