GoPro is practically synonymous with capturing dramatic, action video. The company burst into the scene in 2002 with a highly capable device that absolutely disrupted (or destroyed) the handycam market. GoPro cameras were lauded for their robust build, their compact size, and the wide variety of accessories that allowed you to swim with it, fly with it, strap it to your hand, helmet, bike, car, or even fling it across the sky. GoPro’s products span the widely famous Hero, with its ability to capture hi-res high-frame-rate videos using its wide angle lens, and even GoPro’s drone, the Karma, as well as their omnidirectional camera, the Fusion. GoPro is looking for a Staff Industrial Designer to join its team in San Mateo, California, to help develop its upcoming products.
