Industrial Designer
Not your typical Industrial Design gig. And we’re not your typical company.
Most Industrial Designers get stuck tweaking surfaces, picking colours, and debating edge radii. Not here. At Native, we don’t just shape appliances — we reinvent them. We’re on a mission to build the most technically innovative, beautiful, and user-friendly appliances that Indian homes have ever seen. We’ve already shaken up the RO water purifier industry and built the smartest door lock out there. And we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for Industrial Designers who are ready to break the mould — those who want to work side-by-side with engineers, business leaders, and manufacturing experts to bring new-age appliances to life. If you love the idea of owning a product end-to-end (not just the way it looks but the way it works), this is where you belong.
What you’ll do
- Design beyond surfaces — You won’t just decide what a product looks like. You’ll shape how it works, how it’s engineered, and how it feels in the hands of millions.
- Prototype relentlessly — Whether it’s sketching, CAD, or hands-on models, you’ll constantly be iterating with our R&D team.
- Solve real problems — Work closely with R&D, mechanical engineers, and manufacturing experts to develop products that solve deep, technical, and user pain points.
- Own it — From the first sketch to the last factory run, you’ll be involved in the entire product development cycle.
- Think user-first — Research, test, and improve our designs based on real feedback from real homes.
- Innovate, then innovate again — Challenge norms, bring fresh ideas, and rethink what’s possible in consumer appliances.
Who you’ll be working with
You won’t be designing in a silo. You’ll be collaborating daily with:
- Industrial Designers — Two experienced designers who push boundaries in appliance design.
- Design Engineers — Two technical minds who translate ideas into reality.
- R&D experts — A strong team of engineers, on-field domain specialists, and manufacturing wizards.
- Product, technology & business leaders — People who care deeply about design, engineering, and building industry-defining products.
This is a small, high-impact team where your ideas won’t get lost in layers of bureaucracy. If you have a vision, we’ll help you build it.
Who we’re looking for
- A portfolio that makes us stop scrolling — Show us work that proves you can think, design, and execute at a high level.
- 1–2 years of experience in consumer electronics or home appliances (but we’re open to raw talent too).
- CAD ninja — Rhino, Keyshot, Adobe Suite, and if you know SolidWorks, even better.
- Form & function expert — You understand aesthetics, but you also know how things work under the hood.
- Fast mover, faster learner — You can sketch, prototype, and build ideas at lightning speed.
- Collaborative by nature — You work well with engineers, business folks, and manufacturing teams.
- Bonus: If you’ve ever taken a product from concept to factory floor, we want to talk to you.
Why join us?
- Work on game-changing products — Native is on a mission to revolutionise home appliances in India. You’ll be a core part of that story.
- Go beyond design — Unlike most ID roles, you’ll get to deep-dive into product strategy, engineering, and business decisions.
- Work with the best — A team of designers, engineers, and builders who care deeply about their craft.
- Ownership from day one — No layers of bureaucracy. If you have a great idea, we’ll build it.
- Fast, scrappy, and fearless — We are a startup & move at startup speed.
This isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to define the future of appliances in India.
