Senior Industrial Designer
who can take full ownership of designing new physical products from concept all the way to production. This person will elevate the quality, usability, and aesthetic of our sleep product line while ensuring designs are commercially viable and ready for mass production.

📈 Use customer data and analytics to improve product design and user experience
🌍 Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging materials, and product innovations
This is a full-time, fully remote role with asynchronous working hours. We prefer working hours to be between GMT0 and GMT+8 so there’s at least a 3-hour overlap with the rest of the team.
To excel in this role, you need:
✅ 5+ years of experience in Product Design or Industrial Design focused on physical consumer products
✅ Experience designing products in a fast-growing eCommerce company ($30M–$50M+ revenue)
✅ Proven experience designing both soft goods and hard goods (home, wearable, or textile-based products)
✅ Demonstrated ability to take products from concept and sketch stage through mass production
✅ Advanced proficiency in 3D rendering software such as Keyshot (or equivalent)
✅ Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software such as Rhino, SolidWorks, or Fusion 360
✅ Strong proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
✅ Hands-on prototyping experience including 3D printing and physical mock-ups
✅ Strong understanding of user-centered design and design thinking methodologies
✅ Experience conducting and applying user research and usability testing
✅ Ability to align product design with business goals and product roadmaps
✅ Solid knowledge of manufacturing processes and bringing products to mass production
✅ Ability to create CMF specifications and detailed Tech Packs for factories
✅ Strong collaboration skills with engineering, marketing, and manufacturing partners
✅ Clear written and visual communication skills
✅ Fluent English
Brownie points for:
⭐ Experience designing wearable products delivered to market
⭐ Experience in Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
⭐ Experience designing sleep, wearable, medical, audio, or head-worn products
⭐ Experience in ergonomic validation such as fit studies or pressure mapping
⭐ Experience working directly with Asian factories (China/Vietnam)
⭐ Ability to speak Mandarin Chinese or other languages useful for supplier communication
The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, and proactive. They’re a hands-on designer who enjoys execution as much as strategy, communicates clearly, and thrives in a remote environment.
They stay calm under ambiguity, prioritize high-impact work, and collaborate well with others while maintaining strong ownership of their projects.
You’ll report to Nathan Tomlinson, Head of Product Design.
Nathan leads our product design team and works closely with designers to turn ideas into real-world products customers love. Fun fact: Nathan has broken his collarbones five times - which says a lot about his adventurous side.
