Finding industrial design jobs

Who is hiring industrial designers?

Hiring changes frequently. This directory does not provide a verified list of companies hiring industrial designers today. Start with a shortlist of relevant firms, follow their official websites to careers pages, and check the role’s date, location and application status before applying.

Research industrial design employers or browse companies by category, including automotive, medical, exhibit design and event design.

How do I get an industrial design job?

1. Choose product areas and locations that fit your interests. Compare in-house teams, consultancies and hybrid firms.
2. Research each company’s products and design work. Review the evidence on its profile; unknown or preliminary information needs confirmation.
3. Look for current roles on the official careers site. Try industrial designer, product designer and design internship; read the description carefully because product designer can also mean digital design.
4. Tailor your portfolio to the role. Explain the problem, your contribution, research, sketches, prototypes and the decisions behind the outcome. Respect confidentiality.
5. Follow the employer’s application instructions. Track applications and dates, prepare to discuss your work, and follow up thoughtfully.

Searching for “hiring industrial design” opportunities

Combine industrial design jobs with a product specialty, location or seniority. Check whether a result is a current vacancy, an expired listing or a general company page. Never assume a firm is hiring from its inclusion in an employer directory.
