Jobbeschreibung

What if eyewear could be lighter, smarter, more expressive — and simply better designed?

At Silhouette Group, we believe great eyewear starts with a strong idea. Our three brands — Silhouette, evil eye and neubau — explore different ways of shaping the future of eyewear.

We are looking for a curious, creative and ambitious Eyewear Designer to join our international design team in our Headquarter in Linz.

Your Tasks

• Explore. Track emerging trends in fashion, design, materials, technology and culture — and turn insights into relevant design directions.
• Create. Develop concepts, moodboards, sketches and 2D/3D designs from the first idea to a tangible product.
• Shape. Work closely with Color Design, R&D, prototyping and construction to transform creative ideas into feasible, high-quality eyewear.
• Communicate. Tell the story behind your designs and inspire colleagues, marketing, sales and opticians.
• Contribute. Become part of the development of future collections across our three distinctive brands.

Your Profile

• A degree in Industrial Design, Product Design or a related field
• A strong portfolio demonstrating original thinking, conceptual strength, sensitivity to form and attention to detail
• The ability to develop ideas from concept and sketch through 2D/3D design to the physical product
• Experience with Adobe Creative Suite and 3D design tools such as Rhino, SolidWorks or equivalent
• A strong understanding of form, proportion, materials and manufacturing processes
• Genuine curiosity for new materials, technologies and production methods
• The confidence to question conventional approaches, explore new ideas and develop your own design point of view
• An independent, hands‑on and solution‑oriented way of working
• A collaborative mindset and the ability to work effectively with design, engineering and manufacturing teams
• Experience in eyewear, product or industrial design is an advantage – but exceptional potential and a strong portfolio matter just as much

For this full‑time position, we offer a minimum gross yearly salary of EUR 60,962.30 in accordance with the Austrian Collective Agreement for the Metal Industry. Depending on your qualifications and professional experience, we are happy to offer a higher salary.

At Silhouette, your ideas have the opportunity to become reality – from the first sketch to prototype and, ultimately, to a finished collection. With three brands and distinct design worlds, you will find a broad playground for creativity, ranging from precision and lightness to performance and contemporary expression.

Design and technology go hand in hand. You will work closely with experts from R&D, prototyping and production, gaining first‑hand insight into how exceptional eyewear is developed and manufactured.

We offer an international and dynamic working environment with room to take ownership, contribute your ideas and grow both professionally and personally. Depending on your preferred location, the position can be based in Linz or Vienna, with flexible hybrid and home‑office options.
