📝 Enhancement Note: While the job title specifies "Haircare," the detailed responsibilities and experience requirements point to a broader scope within handheld consumer electronics and smart hardware. The role emphasizes a holistic approach to product design, encompassing user research, industrial design, CMF, and UI/UX, which is crucial for senior-level product designers. The need for fluency in both Chinese and English highlights the international nature of the role and the importance of clear communication across diverse teams.

📈 Primary Responsibilities

• Conduct front-end innovation design for handheld consumer electronic products, such as smart devices, portable electronics, wearables, or intelligent hardware.

• Execute user research activities, including user interviews and usability testing, to inform and drive user-centered design decisions.

• Lead industrial and product design concepts from the initial ideation phase through to front-end execution, considering form factor, ergonomics, CMF, user experience, and manufacturability.

• Develop holistic design solutions by understanding product ecosystems, hardware-software integration, and real-world usage scenarios to ensure design consistency and completeness.

• Create high-quality design outputs, including sketches, industrial design visuals, 3D concepts, and prototypes, to effectively communicate design intent and iterate based on cross-functional team feedback.

• Independently deliver design outputs with a strong focus on quality, visual consistency, and brand alignment, providing support for engineering and mass production phases.

📝 Enhancement Note: The responsibilities emphasize a comprehensive product design lifecycle, from discovery and ideation to execution and documentation. The role requires not just aesthetic design skills but also a deep understanding of user needs, technical feasibility, and cross-functional collaboration. The mention of "front-end innovation design" and "front-end execution" suggests a focus on conceptualization and early-stage development, rather than solely on detailed manufacturing design, though that support is also required.
