Valve has stayed a very important software giant especially for the PC. With games like Half-Life and Counter Strike, the company gained a tremendous success.
Today however, Valve is getting sick of the lack of innovation in the PC market. The solution? Creating its own unique hardware.
Valve is currently looking for an Industrial Designer who has at least 6 years of experience working on high-tech hardware products. The reason why they’re looking for such a person is this:
Valve is traditionally a software company. Open platforms like the PC and Mac are important to us, as they enable us and our partners to have a robust and direct relationship with customers. We’re frustrated by the lack of innovation in the computer hardware space though, so we’re jumping in. Even basic input, the keyboard and mouse, haven’t really changed in any meaningful way over the years. There’s a real void in the marketplace, and opportunities to create compelling user experiences are being overlooked.
What kind of hardware product the company will create is unsure but keeping this quote in mind, it could be a whole new PC-like system.
