As a Principal Play Prototyper you will support the earliest phases of product development by transforming napkin sketches into play-testable prototypes. You "think with your hands," working at the intersection of engineering, design, research, and rapid prototyping to turn ambiguous, early-stage ideas into tangible artifacts that teams can put in front of children and learn from quickly.
Key Responsibilities
- Transform early concepts into play-testable prototypes, giving teams something tangible to react to, test, and learn from long before significant investment.
- Embed across the early phases of product development, partnering fluidly with product, design, and engineering to de-risk ideas and explore the solution space.
- Range across digital and physical prototyping methods (e.g., code, electronics, robotics, and digital fabrication) to find the fastest credible path to a testable artifact for any given question.
- Continuously scout, learn, and integrate new tools, techniques, and technologies, keeping the team's prototyping practice at the leading edge.
Qualifications
- A diverse background and work experience at the intersection of engineering, design, research, and rapid prototyping.
- Fluency across both digital and physical prototyping methods (e.g., software, electronics, robotics, and digital fabrication).
- A demonstrated ability to "think with your hands" – turning ambiguous ideas into tangible, testable artifacts quickly.
- A lifelong learner's disposition, with a record of continuously learning and integrating new tools, techniques, and technologies into your process.
- A genuine affinity for the LEGO Brand and for creative, constructionist play.
