About Native
Native is the product company inside Urban Company, India’s leading online home-services platform, which also runs in the UAE, Singapore and Saudi Arabia. Last year we serviced millions of households, and our service professionals worked on more than five million appliances.
That gives a designer something rare. While other appliance brands learn about their products through surveys and returns, we learn from the technician who was in a customer’s kitchen this morning, saw what broke, and saw what the customer was working around. This gives us the leverage to design for needs nobody says out loud.
Native launched in October 2023 with a purifier that needs no service for two years. In 2026, we launched the M3 line of RO water purifiers that run on one set of filters for three years. We also make smart locks, and there’s more in the pipeline.
What gets designed here ends up in lakhs of homes.

About the role
We're looking for an engineer who designs from physics,



not from precedent. You'll take an ambiguous product requirement and turn it into a plastic (and metal) component or subsystem that works, can be built, and fails gracefully. You'll own the reasoning behind every feature: why this wall thickness, this material, this joint, this tolerance.
CAD is just how you record decisions. We're hiring you for the decisions.

What you'll own
• Requirements to architecture. Translate product and user requirements into engineering specs (loads, environments, life, interfaces, cost etc.. ). Then define component architecture and how parts come together, before any detailed CAD.
• Engineering analysis and sizing. Use hand calculations first to size features and predict behavior: Plastic part beam deflection and stress, snap-fit strain, boss and screw retention, creep under sustained load, thermal expansion mismatch between plastic and metal, impact and drop energy,
• Mat
