Industrial Designer

Google’s mission is to organize the world‘s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks in scores of languages.

Google's self-driving car project, part of Google[x], is working to improve people's lives by transforming mobility. The team's goal is to make it easier and safer for everyone to get around one day. We are a highly motivated team that works in a fast paced environment. We created a self-driving prototype vehicle that is designed to take you where you want to go at the push of a button - no driving required. Google's products are known for merging cutting edge technologies with clean design and autonomous vehicles are an example of this. As an Industrial Designer, you will merge the technical issues associated with complex engineering with the simplicity and elegance of good Industrial Design.
