Job description

We're looking for a creative, hands‑on Senior Product Designer to drive new products from concept to production — sketching, 3D modelling, and coordinating closely with mould makers and management to deliver innovative, commercially viable designs.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop new products end-to-end, from concept and ideation through to production — including concept sketches, 3D models, renders, and detailed technical drawings.
• Create innovative, functional, and market‑relevant product solutions that are both commercially viable and manufacturable at scale.
• Coordinate closely with mould makers, tool rooms, vendors, and production teams throughout the product development cycle, from tooling design through to trial runs.
• Discuss product feasibility, costing, manufacturing challenges, and improvement opportunities directly with management.
• Take ownership of product development timelines, driving projects independently from concept to launch.
• Conduct material, functionality, ergonomics, and manufacturing feasibility evaluations for every product under development.
• Work cross‑functionally with marketing, production, procurement, and quality teams to align product design with business and manufacturing needs.
• Participate in brainstorming sessions and contribute ideas to future product strategy and innovation pipelines.
• Review prototypes, trial samples, and mould developments closely to ensure design accuracy, fit, and functionality before sign-off.
• Proactively suggest design improvements and value engineering opportunities on existing products to improve cost, quality, or manufacturability.

Requirements

• 7–10 years in product/industrial design, ideally with plastics, moulded furniture, or consumer durables.
• Degree/diploma in Industrial Design, Product Design, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
• Strong knowledge of plastic moulding processes and mould‑making coordination.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Rhino, Creo, or similar.
• Solid grasp of product aesthetics, ergonomics, and engineering feasibility.
• Independent decision‑maker with strong communication and presentation skills.
• Experience with injection moulding or blow moulding processes preferred.

What We Offer

• End‑to‑end ownership of large‑scale plastic furniture product launches.
• Direct exposure to mould development and manufacturing processes.
• Collaborative, growth‑oriented environment with long‑term career growth.
