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 current 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 coatin
