Industrial and Packaging Designer at Meter

Meter builds networking hardware that businesses depend on to stay connected. Our products need to work flawlessly in the field, and they need to look and feel like they belong there. We are building the next generation of Meter hardware, and this role sits at the center of that work.

We are hiring an industrial and packaging designer to help shape how our products show up in the world. This role is not just about making things look good; it’s about learning how to solve real problems around form, usability, and the full product experience, from the moment a customer opens the box to how an installer mounts it in a ceiling or wiring closet. Your work will support the evolution of our hardware design language and help make our products feel approachable, durable, and thoughtfully designed.

What Success Looks Like

You will shape the industrial design language for our next generation of networking hardware—translating user research, engineering constraints, and brand direction into cohesive ID concepts for both compact and industrial SKUs. You will also develop packaging systems that cut waste, streamline logistics, and elevate the Meter brand without sacrificing protection or usability during installation.

What Your Day-to-day Will Look Like

• You'll work directly with mechanical engineers, manufacturers, and installers to bring ideas to life in practical, real-world ways.
• You will sketch early concepts, refine them in CAD, and create 3D models and renders for internal reviews, while learning to validate feasibility with the engineering team.
• You will also design packaging structures that reduce material waste and improve protection and assembly, support prototype reviews with manufacturers, and prepare 2D artwork for packaging and product labeling.
• You will participate in design reviews, test physical samples, and iterate quickly based on feedback from the team.
  
  

Who You Are

We are searching for someone who wants to do the most ambitious work of their career. You are a good fit if:

• You have foundational skills in industrial design and a strong eye for form, proportion, and detail
• You are comfortable with, or actively learning, tools like Rhino or Creo, Keyshot, and Adobe CC. Familiarity with Figma is a plus
• You enjoy thinking about how products are used, installed, shipped, and handled, not just how they look
• You can explain your design thinking clearly and are open to feedback and iteration You have a portfolio that shows thoughtful problem-solving, even if projects are academic, personal, or exploratory
  
  

Why Meter?

The internet runs the world. Every purchase you make, video call you join, it's all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven’t changed for decades. They’re brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.

We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground-up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, Reddit, rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.

Our bet with Meter is simple: we will all use the internet more than we do today. We believe we have the definitive networking stack in place to enable business to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.
