Associate – Industrial Design – Food Products & Packaging

About the Role :
Country Delight is looking for an Associate – Industrial Design to work on innovative food products and structural packaging solutions that combine consumer experience, functionality, aesthetics and manufacturability.
We are looking for strong design capability and potential rather than evaluating candidates purely by years of experience. Candidates with relevant professional experience are welcome, and exceptional fresh graduates with a strong portfolio may also be considered at the Trainee level.
Responsibilities :
Design innovative, user-centric food products and structural packaging solutions.
Develop unique food product shapes, forms and packaging concepts that improve consumer experience and create brand differentiation.
Research global food, packaging and consumer-design trends to identify opportunities for innovation.
Translate ideas into concept sketches, 3D models, renders, prototypes and design presentations.
Iterate concepts based on usability, functionality, aesthetics and technical feasibility.
Collaborate closely with NPD, Packaging, Creative teams and suppliers to translate concepts into commercially viable products.
Support design validation by considering manufacturability, materials, supply chain feasibility and cost.
Participate in prototyping and design iterations through the product-development process.
Qualifications & Skills :
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Design or a closely related design discipline; candidates from premium design institutes are preferred.
Academic projects, internships or professional experience in product design, structural packaging design or consumer product design will be an advantage.
Strong portfolio demonstrating concept development, product design, CAD modelling and visualization.
Proficiency in tools such as SolidWorks, Rhino, Fusion 360, KeyShot, Adobe Creative Suite, or equivalent industry-standard tools.
Strong understanding of form, functionality, materials and manufacturing considerations.
Ability to translate a design idea from concept → visualization → prototype → practical product solution.
Strong curiosity about consumer behaviour, food products, packaging and emerging design trends.
Who Should Apply :
We are open to both experienced early-career designers and exceptional fresh graduates.
For fresh graduates, we will place significant weight on the quality of the portfolio, academic projects, internships, hands-on prototyping and demonstrated design thinking. Candidates showing strong potential may join at the Trainee level, with the opportunity to develop into a full-time, long-term role based on performance.
Early joiners will be preferred, but we will not compromise on candidate quality or design potential.
