Scope of the Role

  • Generate and explore new product ideas across sports, gaming, and technology categories.
  • Take ownership of early-stage concept development, validation, and refinement.
  • Use research, sketching, and prototyping to challenge assumptions and test ideas.
  • Translate promising concepts into manufacturable solutions alongside engineers and suppliers.

  • Collaborate daily with the UK-based team and international colleagues in China.
  • Champion design culture within the business, bringing energy and ambition into every project.


Key Skills and Experience Required


  • Degree-qualified in Industrial Design, Product Design, or a related discipline.
  • Proven in-house experience designing physical consumer products.
  • Strong ability to generate, explore, and validate concepts (not just styling).
  • Experience delivering products through to mass manufacture; confident with DFM (injection moulding, CMF, small precision parts, assembly).
  • Strong sketching, ideation, CAD (NX preferred), and visualisation (KeyShot, Adobe CC).
  • Hands-on with physical prototyping, rapid iteration, and testing.
  • Comfortable working full-time on site in Harlow, Essex, with UK travel as needed.
  • Energetic, ambitious, proactive; not afraid to take ownership or challenge ideas.


Salary and Benefits


  • Basic salary £43,000£52,000
  • Private medical insurance
  • Company-wide bonus scheme
  • Access to in-house rapid prototyping facilities
  • Core office hours with some flexibility
  • Opportunities to travel internationally for manufacturing collaboration
  • A collaborative, fast-paced environment where your designs move from sketch
    to market quickly.

You'll be joining a global leader in precision design and manufacturing. The team is collaborative, ambitious, and passionate about building award-winning consumer products that combine creativity with engineered performance. With strong investment in R&D, new technologies, and world-class facilities, it's an exciting time to help shape the future of physical product innovation.
