Aivan is looking for an INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER (with a technical, production-savvy mindset) to join our product design team
Are you an industrial designer who thrives on turning ideas into real, manufacturable products? Do you enjoy working hands-on — from sketch to prototype to production — while balancing aesthetics, usability, and technical feasibility? We’re looking for a designer with a maker’s mind to join our team.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the design process from initial concept to final production
- Solve complex design challenges with a blend of creativity and technical know-how
- Work closely with manufacturers, engineers, and internal teams to ensure feasibility and cost-effectiveness
- Mockup / Prototype building
- Prepare detailed 3D models and manufacturing drawings
- Build and test mockups and prototypes to refine ideas
- Keep a sharp eye on production details and timelines
- Mentor junior designers and contribute to a collaborative studio culture
What we’re looking for:
- 5–10 years of experience in product development, ideally in a design studio setting
- Solid knowledge of materials and manufacturing technologies
- Strong 3D CAD skills — preferably SolidWorks or other parametric CAD software.
- Experience in creating clear and accurate manufacturing documentation
- A technically curious mindset — no engineering degree needed, but you speak the language of production
- Proven ability to take concepts from idea to implementation, with a focus on usability and production
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and a proactive approach to challenges
- Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset
