As a Product Developer, you’ll work closely with the Product Development Manager to look at the details and taking them to the next level.

Working closely with external suppliers, you will contribute heavily to the development of the golden sample and first batch production and ensure a seamless transition from prototype to mass production.

If you live and breathe design and engineering, enjoy being part of a small team with significant autonomy, and enjoy a creative environment, we’d like to hear from you You’ll constantly challenge the boundaries of all things design and play a huge impact in helping create Eva's no-tool assembly products. This fulfils our promise of delivering quality, flat pack furniture that delight our customers.

If you’re passionate about the technical side of development, product refinement and the combination of aesthetics and engineering, this once-in-a-lifetime role could be perfect for you.
