About the Role

We’re looking for a Specialist Lab Piping Designer to lead the design of complex fluid and gas distribution systems for our most sensitive R&D, industrial, and high-stakes infrastructure projects. This role sits at the intersection of process engineering and architectural coordination, requiring a designer who understands that a wet lab or a cleanroom is only as functional as the high-purity systems supporting it.

You will be responsible for architecting the routing, containment, and point-of-use delivery for specialized gases and high-purity water systems. Working within our Facility Design team, you will ensure that hazardous and inert gases, vacuum systems, and ultra-pure liquids are integrated seamlessly into the building’s structural and mechanical fabric, adhering to the highest standards of safety and contamination control.

Responsibilities

• Design and engineer comprehensive laboratory piping systems, including high-purity specialty gases such as N2, compressed air, vacuum, and RODI (Reverse Osmosis/Deionized) water systems.
• Prepare high-fidelity design packages in Revit, owning the 3D coordination of sloped waste lines, gas manifolds, and overhead service carriers within complex ceiling voids.
• Specify materials and components appropriate for the medium, ranging from orbitally welded stainless steel for high-purity gases to acid-resistant neutralized waste piping for wet labs.
• Develop P&IDs (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) and flow schematics that define system logic, pressure regulation, and emergency shut-off protocols.
• Lead multidisciplinary coordination to ensure piping routes do not conflict with structural bracing, HVAC ductwork, or electrical busways, maintaining strict architectural clearances.
• Ensure code compliance with NFPA 45 (Standard on Fire Protection for Laboratories using Chemicals), NFPA 99 (Health Care Facilities Code), and ASME B31.3 (Process Piping).
• Support construction and commissioning by performing submittal reviews and technical field inspections to verify the integrity of specialized joints and purges.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Architectural Engineering, or Architecture.
• 8+ years of experience in specialized piping design for R&D, healthcare, or semiconductor facilities.
• Advanced proficiency in Revit and AutoCAD, specifically in creating parametric pipe types and complex 3D assemblies for laboratory equipment.
• Deep technical knowledge of laboratory-grade plumbing, gas cabinet integration, and high-purity water generation.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, balancing the precision of micro-level piping details with the scale of massive industrial facility design.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Professional Engineer (PE) or AIA license is highly preferred.
• Experience with BIM automation (Dynamo or Python) to streamline pipe routing and automated pressure drop calculations.
• Prior experience in nuclear or pharmaceutical environments, where containment and high-integrity piping are mission-critical.
• Familiarity with seismic bracing for piping systems in high-seismic zones.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to translate complex P&IDs into clear architectural layouts for project stakeholders.

Why General Matter

• Scale: Work on specialized systems for a massive, first-of-its-kind enrichment facility.
• Complexity: Solve the unique challenges of routing hazardous and high-purity media in a high-security industrial context.
• Innovation: Join a team that values digital engineering and "hands-on" technical excellence from design through construction.

Role Overview: 

CHAOS is seeking a Lead Industrial Designer to shape the physical and human-facing aspects of our next-generation dual-use systems – spanning mounted and dismounted sensor platforms, ground-based vehicles, and airborne effectors. 

In this role, you will define and drive industrial design vision across hardware and user-facing systems, balancing real-world operational constraints with a cohesive product identity. You will work closely with hardware, software, and user interface teams to ensure our products are not only high-performing, but intuitive, durable, and thoughtfully designed for the environments in which they operate. 

This role sits at the intersection of industrial design, human factors, and product strategy – bridging the gap between engineering-driven development and user-centered design. 

The ideal candidate is a hands-on, build-and-ship designer (not purely studio-based), with experience designing ruggedized products for demanding environments such as military, aerospace, or industrial applications.   

This is a full-time, on-site position in Los Angeles, CA, with ~20% travel for field testing and user interaction. 

 
Responsibilities: 

• Define and drive the industrial design vision across a portfolio of dual-use products, ensuring alignment with brand, usability, and mission requirements 

• Translate complex system requirements into intuitive physical form factors, layouts, and user interactions 

• Design for real-world use cases, including deployment, transport, setup, maintenance, and operation in austere environments 

• Collaborate with hardware, software, and UI teams to ensure a cohesive end-to-end user experience across physical and digital interfaces 

• Develop concepts, mockups, and prototypes (low- to high-fidelity) to rapidly iterate on form, ergonomics, and usability 

• Guide trade studies between performance, size, usability, and visual design, helping the organization make intentional design decisions 

• Influence product architecture early to improve usability, serviceability, and operator efficiency 

• Ensure designs account for ruggedization, environmental exposure, and manufacturability, in collaboration with mechanical engineering 

• Provide design direction and critique across teams to maintain consistency and quality 

• Participate in field testing and user engagement, incorporating feedback from operators into iterative design improvements 

• Help evolve a design language that balances high-performance systems with a disciplined, mission-appropriate aesthetic 

 
What Success Looks Like: 

• Products that are easier to deploy, operate, and maintain in the field 

• Clear, intentional tradeoffs between performance and usability 

• A recognizable and consistent design language aligned with brand image 

• Strong alignment between engineering, product vision, and user needs 

• Designs that balance visual quality with mission appropriateness — modern without being ornamental 

Minimum Requirements: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design or related field 

• 7+ years of experience in industrial design, with a focus on ruggedized, outdoor, or mission-critical products 

• Demonstrated experience taking products from concept through production 

• Strong portfolio showcasing shipped products (military, aerospace, industrial, automotive, or adjacent fields preferred) 

• Experience designing for real-world use — including ergonomics, human factors, and operational workflows 

• Ability to create and communicate design intent through sketches, renderings, prototypes, and storytelling 

• Working knowledge of DFMA and manufacturing constraints, with the ability to collaborate effectively with mechanical engineers and manufacturing process engineers 

• Understanding of environmental and durability considerations (e.g., weather exposure, handling, transport, field use) 

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills with engineering, product, and leadership teams 

• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance 

Preferred Requirements: 

• Experience designing military or defense-adjacent systems, or products used in harsh environments 

• Exposure to mounted/dismounted systems, sensor platforms, or vehicle-integrated products 

• Familiarity with human-machine interface design across both physical and digital systems 

• Experience working with rapid prototyping tools (3D printing, shop tools, etc.) 

• Proficiency with common design tools (e.g., CAD, Adobe Suite, Figma), without requiring deep CAD ownership 

• Experience conducting or supporting user research, field studies, or operator interviews 

• Experience designing MIL-Spec products 

• Active U.S. security clearance 

Why CHAOS?

• Health Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision benefits 100% paid for by the company
• Additional benefits: 401k (+ 50% company match up to 6% of pay), FSA, HSA, life insurance, and more
• Our Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code

  • Develop automated test software (e.g., LabVIEW, Python, C++, etc.).
  • Architect production test stations optimized for:
    • Throughput
    • Repeatability
    • Operator simplicity
    • Error-proofing
  • Define takt-aligned test cycle times in coordination with Industrial Engineering.
