What recruiters actually look for
Design engineer associate hiring wants feasibility notes tied to design intent. Show a redesign for manufacture. Wasted effort: blocking design without alternatives. Studio and campus screens still reward ownership stories over tool-logo lists. Bring one artifact — case study, prototype, lookbook page, or critique notes — you can defend in depth.
