Role Overview

We are looking for an industrial design intern to join us in our Brooklyn studio!

We work across categories, and some projects may be focused on high-level concepts, but many go into production. Be prepared to work on projects that span the full design life cycle from user research, the feasibility of design concepts, through to manufacturing.

• 1 or more internships as an industrial designer
• Strong 2D skills like hand sketching, Illustrator and Photoshop rendering
• Strong 3D CAD skills in Solid Works
• An incurable curiosity relating to all things design
• Passion for conceptualizing and designing meaningful product solutions for people in their homes (housewares industry experience a plus)
• No fear of teamwork, brainstorming sessions or presenting in front of your team
• Proactive communicator, making you a responsive team player

The role is based in Brooklyn and will need to be local. We work on a hybrid model, and interns should be onsite at least 3-4 days per week. Hourly rate will be dependent on educational experience either $22 (undergrad) or $24 (graduate) per hour. When business needs aligns, we love transitioning interns to full-time roles.

We are committed to creating an inclusive culture and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer. At this time, we are unable to sponsor for this position.
