About Panther

Panther is unlocking the power of the skin, the body’s largest, most responsive, and universally accessible immune organ, to deliver better health for all. Panther’s proprietary dissolvable microarray patch (MAP) technology delivers minute doses of thermostabilized treatments to precise locations below the skin’s surface.  There, the skin’s rich immune network activates systemic responses with improved efficacy and fewer side effects than current treatments. Panther’s solid-state treatments eliminate cold chain and sharps cost and complexity and its user-centric engineering enables direct patient and clinician interactions. 

Panther Life Sciences Corporation is applying the skin’s unique immune properties and advanced engineering to deliver shelf-stable, patient-centric, data-centric treatments to any/all consumers globally. Akin to Netflix in the media/content sector, Panther is partnering with and making its platform available to Pharma, Biotech, Cosmetics, and other firms to deliver a comprehensive pipeline of treatments in Panther’s microarray patch (MAP) application format.

Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Industrial Design Engineer to join our interdisciplinary Device team developing Panther’s microarray patch (MAP) technologies—the “iPhone of patches.” This role will focus on user-centric design and the full product lifecycle for our direct-to-consumer MAP platform.

• Create and present innovative design solutions in brainstorming sessions and leadership pitches.

• Partner with cross-functional teams (formulation, manufacturing, software, and engineering) to ensure designs are both visually compelling and technically viable.

• Lead the design process end-to-end: mood boards, sketching, CAD, specifications, pre-production approvals, and product launch.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in industrial design and/or user-centric product design.

• Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred), Adobe Creative Suite (or equivalent), and advanced rendering.

• Strong communication skills (visual and verbal) with the ability to clearly articulate and advocate for design decisions.

• Demonstrated experience working within cross-functional engineering teams to deliver attractive, functional commercial products.
  A sharp eye for aesthetics, visual design, and composition.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience designing consumer healthcare or cosmetic devices.

• A portfolio showcasing full lifecycle design: from initial concept to commercial launch with measurable market impact.

• Familiarity with manufacturing methods, packaging, and sourcing for commercial-scale production.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and equity package

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits
