Founded in 1911, Columbus Sign Company is a fourth-generation, design-build signage and fabrication firm specializing in premium architectural signage, large-scale sports branding, interactive fan experiences, and high-impact environmental graphics. We work with professional sports teams, universities, developers, architects, and brands to create immersive spaces that inspire pride and engagement.

Position Overview

We are seeking a  creative and detail-oriented Industrial Designer to join our design and engineering team. This role blends conceptual design with real-world fabrication—transforming ideas into buildable, scalable, and visually stunning products and environments. You’ll collaborate closely with our creative, production, and installation teams to bring signage and branded environments to life.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conceptualize, sketch, and develop innovative product and signage designs that align with project goals and brand standards.
  • Create 2D and 3D design models, renderings, and technical drawings for production and client presentations.
  • Collaborate with project managers, engineers, and fabricators to ensure design feasibility and efficiency.
  • Specify materials, finishes, and fabrication techniques aligned with quality and budget goals.
  • Support the development of interactive and digital signage solutions (e.g., AR, LED, wayfinding).
  • Participate in client presentations and design reviews, communicating ideas clearly and professionally.
  • Maintain organized design files, drawings, and documentation throughout the project lifecycle.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Product Design, Architecture, or related field.
  • 2+ years of professional experience (signage, architecture, fabrication, or experiential design preferred).
  • Proficiency in CAD and 3D modeling software (e.g., AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, SolidWorks).
  • Strong rendering and visualization skills using tools like Adobe Creative Suite, V-Ray, or similar.
  • Understanding of materials, structural design, and fabrication processes (metal, wood, acrylic, lighting integration).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • A strong design portfolio showcasing conceptual thinking and fabrication-minded solutions.
Bonus Skills
  • Experience with signage design standards, ADA and OSHA compliance.
  • Knowledge of lighting integration, LEDs, and interactive displays.
  • Familiarity with AR/QR and fan engagement technologies.
  • Experience preparing shop drawings and installation details.
Why Join Us
  • Opportunity to work on high-profile projects (sports stadiums, universities, brand environments).
  • Collaborative, creative, and fabrication-forward culture.
  • Competitive salary, benefits, and professional growth opportunities.
  • A legacy company that blends craftsmanship with innovation.
