KeaWorld Hiring! Full Time Product Designer (Consumer Product Development) in , Earn up to SGD 4,500 - Ricebowl

Job Summary:

Drives end-to-end product design from market research to production, translating customer insights into functional, manufacturable designs. Develops concepts, creates supplier-ready documentation, partners with vendors through sampling, and collaborates cross-functionally to deliver high-quality products on time.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct independent market research to identify trends, customer needs, and competitor insights (US market focus) to identify new product opportunities and design directions.
• Translate insights into clear product requirements: user needs/pain points, design gaps & opportunities, functional specs, materials considerations, and design criteria.
• Generate multiple concept directions per project (sketches/2D/3D), then refine the best direction with strong design rationale.
• Ensure designs are functional, user-centric, safe, and manufacturable—balancing creativity with cost, quality, and timeline realities.
• Create accurate, supplier-ready documentation (measurements, specifications, construction notes, materials/trim callouts, and artwork files where applicable) with strong file/version control.
• Liaise directly with suppliers to confirm feasibility (materials, construction, process/tooling), clarify questions, and resolve technical questions. Drive sample development cycles: evaluate prototypes/samples, identify issues, and provide/propose clear, actionable revision instructions to improve function and quality.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align on design intent, feasibility, and timelines across the development cycle.
• Present research findings, concepts, and design decisions clearly to stakeholders and maintain organized file/version control throughout development.
• Manage priorities effectively across concurrent & multiple projects, adapting quickly to evolving requirements, timelines, and management feedback—while maintaining a high creative and execution bar.

Qualifications:

• 1-2+ years of product/industrial design experience (consumer goods preferred; baby/parenting is a plus).
• Proficiency in 2D and 3D design software (e.g., Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop; 3D/CAD tools such as Rhino/SolidWorks/KeyShot and other related tools for .STP, .OBJ, .3DS format).
• Self-motivated and able to work independently or as part of a team.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and meeting deadlines.
• Fluent in Mandarin to communicate effectively with China-based suppliers.
