Job description

Nothing exists to make tech feel exciting again.

We’re building a different kind of company, one that puts design, emotion, and human creativity at the heart of everything we do. From the way our products look to how they sound, feel, and function, we care about the details that make technology not just useful, but inspiring.

This is a place for the curious. The creators. The ones who ask why not and mean it. If you're drawn to bold ideas, fast moves, and work that actually makes you feel something, you’ll fit right in.

We're not here to follow the rules. We're here to make better ones.

About Nothing

Founded in London in 2020, Nothing is a design-led tech company building an alternative to the industry giants. Our products – from award-winning smartphones to expressive audio and wearables – blend iconic design with intuitive engineering to put people and creativity back at the centre of consumer tech.

Backed by GV (Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures, and influential investors like Tony Fadell (iPod), Casey Neistat, and Kevin Lin (Twitch), we’ve grown from startup to global challenger in just a few years.

The Role:

As a Senior Product Design Engineer at Nothing, you’ll be central to shaping the look and feel of our products and will work from our small studio in King’s Cross, London. You’ll be embedded within the Industrial Design Team, and will use your expertise in engineering, materials and manufacturing, as well as your sensitivity for design, to realise our product concepts, and defend our vision throughout the product development process.

We expect the following of all of our designers:

• Interesting and original concept generation
• Creative and collaborative problem solving
• Excellent visual and verbal communication
• Meticulous attention to detail
• Intuitive appreciation for user-centred design
• Confidence designing for a brand with bold aesthetic direction and a clear vision
• Amazing collaboration skills and receptiveness to feedback
• Honesty, transparency and empathy - we do what we say we’re going to do and we look after each other
• Great taste

And as a Product Design Engineer we’ll also expect:

• Proven experience in high-volume consumer electronics design engineering at system and component-levels
• Demonstrated ability to work in a highly design-driven environment
• Excellent CAD proficiency (NX preferred)
• Experience in prototyping (3D printing, CNC, vacuum forming, laser cutting, etc)
• Strong problem solving skills and mechanical intuition
• Demonstrated consumer electronics engineering skills: mechanics, material science, mechanism design, design for assembly, tolerance analysis, reliability, FMEA
• Extensive experience in designing parts suitable for a wide range of production techniques, including plastic & metal injection moulding, forming, stamping, extrusion, and machining processes
• Availability to travel internationally

Most of all, we’re looking for creative people who can demonstrate diverse thinking, growth mindset and their dedication to design

What we offer

A chance to shape the voice of one of the most exciting tech brands

Fast-paced and creative environment with global reach

A culture that values curiosity, creativity, and doing things differently

A commitment to building a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming workplace for all
