? WE'RE HIRING | INDUSTRIAL DESIGN INTERNS

Have the creativity to imagine it? The ability to design it? Come build it with us.

At ASTR DEFENCE, we're bringing together engineering, technology and innovation to develop next-generation products.

We're looking for passionate and creative Industrial Design / Product Design Interns who want to go beyond conventional design assignments and work on challenging, real-world engineered products.

This is an opportunity to transform ideas into physical products – where aesthetics meets engineering, ergonomics meets functionality, and creativity meets technology.

If you enjoy sketching new concepts, experimenting with product forms, developing 3D models and seeing your designs take shape as real prototypes, we'd love to hear from you!

WHAT WILL YOU DESIGN?

You will collaborate with our multidisciplinary R&D; and engineering teams on innovative defence technology products, contributing to:

1. Industrial Design & Product Aesthetics

- Concept development, ideation, sketching and product styling.
- Exploring distinctive product forms, proportions, contours and design language.
- Designing aesthetically refined enclosures, housings and physical interfaces.
- Material selection, surface finishes, colours and textures.

2. Ergonomics & Human-Centred Design

- Product ergonomics, usability and human-factor considerations.
- Design of grips, handles, controls and user interfaces.
- Improving physical interaction, comfort and product usability.

3. 3D Modelling & Visualisation

- Developing detailed 3D models using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino or equivalent tools.
- Creating realistic product renders and design presentations.




- Exploring multiple design concepts and iterations.

4. Prototyping & Product Realisation

- Developing physical mock-ups and 3D-printed prototypes.
- Collaborating with mechanical and electronics engineers.
- Understanding materials, manufacturing processes and design for manufacturing.
- Taking concepts from sketches to functional, manufacturable designs.

WHO SHOULD APPLY?

Eligible Qualifications:

- B.Des – Industrial Design
- B.Des – Product Design
- Related Industrial / Physical Product Design disciplines.

Must-Have Skills:

- Strong creative thinking and visualisation abilities.
- Excellent hand sketching and concept development skills.
- Valuable understanding of form, aesthetics, proportions and ergonomics.
- Working knowledge of SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino or similar 3D CAD tools.
- Basic understanding of materials and manufacturing processes.

Added Advantage:

- KeyShot, Blender or other product rendering tools.
- 3D printing and physical prototyping experience.
- Previous projects involving automotive, consumer electronics, industrial equipment or engineered products.

WHAT MAKES THIS INTERNSHIP DIFFERENT? At Astr Defence, you won't just prepare concepts and presentations.

You will

- Work on actual product development challenges.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electronics and R&D; engineers.




- Experience the complete design journey – from ideation to physical prototypes.
- Understand how aesthetics, ergonomics, engineering and manufacturing come together.
- See your ideas evolve into tangible products.

Your creativity will have a real engineering application.
