Description supplied by the original job listing.
Role purpose: Design polymer bath fittings with the elegance of world-class Italian metal hardware — the aesthetic anchor feeding the NPD team a pipeline of manufacturable, premium concepts.
1. Key Responsibilities
Study premium Italian/European metal fittings and reinterpret their design cues (proportion, silhouette, finish) in polymer.
Create concept sketches, CAD models and renders for new fitting ranges, balanced against moulding/tooling constraints.
Work with NPD, R&D and tooling teams from concept through prototype to production.
Build and maintain a design language/style guide so the premium range stays visually consistent.
Build prototypes/mock-ups to validate form and finish, and track global design and finishing trends.
2. Academic Background
B.Des/M.Des in Product or Industrial Design (NID, IIT-IDC, Srishti, Pearl Academy, MIT-ID or equivalent), or a B.E./B.Tech with a strong design/CAD portfolio.
CMF (colour, material, finish) coursework and prior exposure to sanitaryware, furniture or consumer-durable design are a plus.
A strong design portfolio matters more than the specific degree.
3. Experience Required
3–8 years designing bath fittings, sanitaryware, consumer durables, furniture or lighting, where finish and premium feel drive the sale.
Hands-on experience taking a design from concept sketch to tooled, manufactured product.
Prior exposure to injection-moulded plastics or polymer product design is strongly preferred.
Experience referencing or benchmarking premium international design and adapting it for Indian manufacturing and price points.
Exceptional portfolios with 1–3 years' experience may be considered for a junior/associate designer level.
4. Skills & Technical Expertise
CAD (SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360 or Creo) and rendering (Key Shot/Blender/V-Ray); sketching and Adobe Creative Suite for presentation.
Strong CMF sense and grasp of injection-moulding constraints and finishing techniques (chrome-effect plating, soft-touch coatings) that make polymer feel like metal.
Understanding of bath-fitting ergonomics (grip, flow, durability, IP ratings) and ability to build quick physical mock-ups.
Confident presenting and defending design choices to cross-functional teams.
5. Desired Attributes
A genuine eye for elegance — can explain why a fitting feels premium, not just imitate it.
Balances creative ambition with manufacturing/cost reality; a builder who prototypes rather than just talks.
Self-driven, comfortable being the lead design voice in a manufacturing-first organisation building this capability.
