Alias Surface information

What is an Alias Surface designer?

An Alias Surface designer is a professional who uses Autodesk Alias, a specialized software, to create, modify, and refine high-quality 3D surface models. These designers are often found in industries such as automotive, product design, and industrial design, where they help translate conceptual sketches into precise digital models for visualization, engineering, and manufacturing. Their expertise lies in generating Class-A surfaces, ensuring the aesthetic and functional quality of products. Alias Surface designers work closely with engineers, industrial designers, and other team members throughout the product development process.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Alias Surface designer?

To thrive as an Alias Surface Designer, you need expertise in digital 3D modeling, surface development, and a background in industrial or automotive design, often supported by a relevant degree. Mastery of Autodesk Alias software and familiarity with CAD/CAM systems are essential technical requirements. Creativity, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you collaborate efficiently with design and engineering teams. These abilities ensure the accurate realization of complex design concepts, high-quality surfaces, and seamless integration into manufacturing processes.

What are some common challenges faced by Alias Surface designers when collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams?

Alias Surface Designers often work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure aesthetic designs are feasible for production. One common challenge is balancing creative intent with technical constraints, such as material limitations or manufacturability. Effective communication and an understanding of engineering requirements are essential to navigate these challenges. Regular collaboration and design reviews help ensure that the final surface models meet both design vision and engineering standards.

What is the difference between Alias Surface vs Surface Designer?

Job description

Industrial Designer
Department: Marketing
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Hawthorne, California
Compensation: $110,000 - $140,000 / year
Description
Astrolab is The Lunar Operations Company. We design and build the systems and hardware the lunar economy will come to depend on - rovers, power, and data networks for sustained operations on the Moon. We are focused on the problems that must be solved before the next chapter of human exploration can scale. The Moon does not forgive untested assumptions. The people who work here know that, and they wouldn't have it any other way.
As an Industrial Designer at Astrolab, you will be the creative anchor of our product vision. At Astrolab, our design function operates within a studio model embedded inside the Marketing organization. We believe that design sits at the intersection of engineering and brand; it is the visual language that translates our technical DNA into a consistent identity that defines a market. You will work day-to-day with our Fractional Chief Creative Designer (a world-class automotive ID designer) and our Head of Marketing, while collaborating deeply with engineering to ensure that the rovers and systems we build perform flawlessly and look unmistakably like Astrolab.
In this role, you are not just making things look good; you are making design decisions that impact physical products bound for the lunar surface. You will bring a deep understanding of form, function, and constraint-driven design, ensuring our hardware reflects our brand identity without compromising its mission-critical engineering.
What you'll do:
Product Design & Development
  • End-to-End Design: Lead the industrial design process from initial concept sketches to final production-ready forms, ensuring the physical product embodies the Astrolab brand
  • Constraint-Driven Creativity: Collaborate directly with aerospace and mechanical engineers to navigate the extreme constraints of lunar operations (thermal, structural, mass) while maintaining design integrity
  • CMF Strategy: Own the Color, Materials, and Finish (CMF) strategy, understanding how materials behave in space and how they translate into a cohesive visual language

Studio Model Collaboration
  • Cross-Functional Integration: Operate at the intersection of marketing and engineering, acting as the translator between technical requirements and brand identity
  • Creative Partnership: Work closely with the Fractional Chief Creative Designer to establish and refine the overarching design language for all Astrolab hardware
  • Brand Stewardship: Ensure that every physical touchpoint, from the rover chassis to the smallest payload interface, feels intentionally designed and distinctly Astrolab

Visualization & Communication
  • Design Communication: Use Blender, Adobe Creative Suite, and Alias to communicate design intent clearly to both technical (engineering) and non-technical (leadership, investors) audiences
  • Iterative Prototyping: Rapidly iterate on forms and concepts based on engineering feedback, testing, and brand alignment

What you'll bring:
Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in industrial design, transportation design, product design, or a related field
  • Experience taking physical products or hardware from concept through production
  • Experience using Blender and Adobe Creative Suite, with working knowledge of Alias; Class A modeling experience is a plus

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience applying Color, Materials, and Finish (CMF) principles to physical products or hardware
  • Portfolio demonstrating product design work, including complex design challenges and design constraints
  • Experience in transportation, robotics, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, or a related industry
  • Experience working in a studio environment or at the intersection of brand, product design, and engineering
  • Experience communicating technical or complex design concepts to cross-functional teams and stakeholders
  • Experience designing hardware for extreme environments or regulated industriesExperience developing designs that account for manufacturing requirements, material constraints, environmental conditions, and product performanceExperience developing designs that account for manufacturing requirements, material constraints, environmental conditions, and product performance

Benefits and Perks
  • Join a team of best-in-class engineers building the foundation of planetary surface exploration
  • Equity ownership in the company
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, vision, and mental health support
  • 401(k) plan with company match
  • Flexible PTO and parental leave
  • Home office set up reimbursement
  • Weekly lunch stipend, plus complimentary snacks and beverages on-site
  • Once a month social hour on-site with food and drinks
