Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Private Advertiser Full time $104,000 - $130,878 per year

Who we are 

We're a national, fast-growing, design-led Australian company redefining everyday outdoor living through innovation, quality, and aesthetic detail. Our award-winning products are known for blending function with design—and we're now pushing into integrated lighting across our range.

We design for the Australian outdoors, and our mission is simple: create long lasting products that people are proud to have in their outdoor spaces. We're proudly independent, values-driven, and obsessed with beautiful utility.

The role 

We're looking for a Senior Industrial Designer with strong lighting experience to lead the end-to-end design of a new product range. You'll bring lighting integration into the heart of our design process, owning concepts from early ideation and prototyping through to supplier-ready production specs.

This is an exciting opportunity to run your own creative division and bring all your ideas to completion and develop a signature range of products that will be loved by our customers across Australia. Your range will be fully supported by the design and marketing team as required, to ensure its success.

This role suits someone who is hands-on, commercially aware, and thrives in a fast-paced environment where no two projects look the same.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop innovative outdoor products with integrated lighting

  • Take concepts from sketches and 3D models through to high-quality prototypes and final production

  • Conduct basic photometric studies and lighting simulations to support design decisions

  • Opportunities to travel across Asia-Pacific to collaborate and build strong relationships with suppliers, learn manufacturing techniques and develop new innovations

  • Research new materials, technologies, and outdoor lighting compliance (AS/NZS) to ensure our products lead the market

  • Collaborate with marketing and leadership to ensure product designs align with brand and customer needs

  • Present concepts and solutions through compelling visuals, prototypes and documentation

What you'll bring

  • 5+ years' experience as an Industrial/Product Designer, with a focus on AC or DC lighting

  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and Adobe Creative Suite

  • Experience developing & sourcing products with manufacturing partners

  • In depth knowledge of manufacturing techniques (injection moulding, die casting, CNC, etc.)

  • Practical understanding of production processes and the foresight to identify and resolve production issues

  • Demonstrated experience in lighting simulations and photometric performance considerations

  • Strong understanding of AS/NZS lighting compliance standards and best practice design for outdoor environments

  • Creative thinker who can balance aesthetic, technical and functional product requirements

  • Knowledge of Mandarin is not essential, but a bonus

Who this role suits? 

Someone who is passionate about designing high quality and well considered products that will last for many years and transform the looks of homes. You get excited at the prospect of seeing your successful designs installed in homes across Australia. You prefer to design from start to finish and enjoy understanding all aspects of the process so you can control the outcome and ensure efficiency in getting your designs to market.

Why join us? 

We're a small-medium company and that's our strength. We are agile, keen to keep growing and you'll have autonomy, influence, minimal red tape and direct contact with the owners to support this shared vision.

We care deeply about great design and support the team with the tools, resources and decision-making power to bring bold ideas to life. If you're looking to take ownership of projects, bring lighting into focus, and make a real mark on the Australian design landscape—this is your chance.

Along with your cover letter and resume, please provide examples of your past work/portfolio.
