As a Industrial Designer, you will be embedded in the mechanical design process, working closely with Design Engineers and the broader hardware team to develop and refine the surfaced geometry of robot exterior parts. This role will translate design direction into production-ready Class A surfaces, owning cosmetic finish specifications, and supporting CMF decisions that hold up through tooling and manufacturing. You're someone who gets excited about getting a parting line right and knows how to have a productive conversation with a tooling vendor about texture.
Key job responsibilities
Surfacing & Production CAD
- Own Class A surface development for injection molded exterior parts, working from approved concept geometry or sketches to production-intent 3D models
- Collaborate closely with Design Engineers to ensure surfaced geometry is DFM-compliant — maintaining appropriate draft, wall thickness, and parting line strategy without compromising design intent
- Maintain and refine surface models through tooling development, incorporating feedback from T0/T1 sample reviews
- Support 2D cosmetic drawing callouts including surface finish, texture zones, parting line locations, and appearance critical areas
Cosmetic Finish & CMF
- Define and document cosmetic finish specifications for molded and machined parts
- Develop and manage CMF documentation: material callouts, color standards, finish samples, and approval criteria for production
- Source and evaluate finish and texture options in collaboration with tooling vendors and surface finish suppliers
- Maintain cosmetic appearance standards and support first article cosmetic inspection criteria
Cross-Functional Design Support
- Work with the team to evaluate cosmetic samples and prototypes against intent — communicating clearly what's acceptable, what needs correction, and why
- Support design reviews by preparing clear visual references, annotated models, and finish sample boards
- Assist in evaluating and selecting materials and finishes for new components during NPI
- Contribute to maintaining a consistent, coherent product language across the robot's exterior
About the team
Fauna Robotics, an Amazon company, is building capable, safe, and genuinely delightful robots for everyday life. Our goal is simple: make robots people actually want to live and interact with in everyday human spaces.
We believe that future won’t arrive until building for robotics becomes far more accessible. Today, too much effort is spent reinventing the fundamentals. We’re changing that by developing tightly integrated hardware and software systems that make it faster, safer, and more intuitive to create real-world robotic products.
Our work spans the full stack: mechanical design, control systems, dynamic modeling, and intelligent software. The focus is not just functionality, but experience. We’re building robots that feel responsive, expressive, and genuinely useful.
At Fauna, you’ll work at the frontier of this space, helping define how robots move, manipulate, and interact with people in natural environments. It’s an opportunity to solve hard problems across hardware and software with a team focused on making robotics accessible and joyful to build.
If you care about making robotics real for everyone and building systems that are as delightful as they are capable, we’re interested in hearing from you.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Industrial Engineer
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees in industrial engineering are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees. Get a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator before applying, so employers have documentation ready when filing your LCA.
Target manufacturers with LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for employers who have certified LCAs for industrial engineer roles. Companies already familiar with the LCA process move faster and make fewer errors at the offer stage.
Flag E-3 eligibility early in interviews
Raise the E-3 visa early in conversations with U.S. employers. Many hiring managers confuse it with the H-1B lottery. Clarify that E-3 requires no lottery, no annual cap wait, and that the employer's main obligation is certifying an LCA with the DOL.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service post-offer
Once you have a written job offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. This reduces errors on prevailing wage documentation, which is a common sticking point for industrial engineer roles across different SOC classifications.
Confirm your role's SOC code before filing
Industrial engineer positions can map to multiple Standard Occupational Classification codes depending on specialization, such as industrial, health and safety, or logistics roles. Misclassification affects prevailing wage calculations, so confirm the correct SOC code with your employer before the LCA is submitted to DOL.
Prepare for consulate questions on specialty occupation
Consular officers sometimes scrutinize whether industrial engineer roles require a specific degree rather than any bachelor's degree. Bring your job offer letter, degree certificate, and a brief written explanation of how your engineering coursework directly applies to your U.S. role.
E-3 Visa Industrial Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Industrial Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for Australian professionals seeking E-3 visa sponsorship in the U.S. Search by job title and filter for employers with E-3 sponsorship history. This is faster than screening general job boards, where most listings don't indicate visa sponsorship availability and industrial engineer roles often go unlisted.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Industrial Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, in most cases. The E-3 requires the position to normally require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. Industrial engineering roles that specify a degree in industrial, mechanical, or systems engineering satisfy this standard. Roles described as open to any engineering discipline or any bachelor's degree can create complications at the LCA stage, so the job description wording matters.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Industrial Engineer roles?
The E-3 is available only to Australian citizens but has no annual cap and no lottery, meaning you can apply at any time of year and expect a decision within weeks rather than waiting a year for a lottery selection. The H-1B subjects most applicants to an annual lottery with a roughly 25% selection rate. For an Australian industrial engineer, the E-3 is the direct path.
Can I switch Industrial Engineer employers while on an E-3?
Yes, but your new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need to obtain a new E-3 visa stamp, typically at a U.S. consulate in Australia or through a third country. There's no portability rule like the one that exists for H-1B holders, so plan for a gap between roles and confirm your new employer's timeline before resigning.
