What are the responsibilities and job description for the Junior Industrial Designer position at EMPAVA Appliances?
Join Our Team: Junior Industrial Designer -- Bilingual, Fun Focused
Job location: Zhongshan, Guangdong, China.
Ever wanted to work where you can laugh over coffee and dive deep into creating standout designs that matter? For our Zhongshan office, we're hunting for a curious, creative Junior Industrial Designer to join our Design team—no strict industry experience required (we care more about your passion for industrial design and your overall experience rather than niche expertise). You'll thrive in a dual language (English & Chinese) space where we balance thoughtful jokes with serious dedication to top-tier design work. You will further develop your interest and understanding of Western culture (our main market is the USA) and help our designs to convince the most demanding consumers.
What You'll Actually Do -- Spoiler: It's All Hands-On
As part of our design team (industrial design, graphic design, and visual design), you'll be at the core of our
product development:
Participating in market & trend analysis (including US consumer preferences), brainstorming wild (and workable) ideas in design workshops, and turn insights into tangible concepts.
Design detailed 3D models and craft showstopping renderings (this is a core part of the role—your work will shape how products feel to users stateside)
Partner with engineers and factories to make sure designs don't just look great, but work great (no design exists in a bubble)
Tackle awesome product lines:
· Large appliances (ovens, cooktops, hoods, fridges, freezers, wine cellars, dishwashers—think "everyday products that feel special to US homes").
· Bathroom solutions (bathtubs, showers, faucets, towel dryers—turning self-care spaces into something cool for American households).
What We're Looking For -- No Jargon, Just Real Stuff
Sketching, 3D modelling & Rendering.
You've got good sketching skills, but most importantly, you have a keen mind to think products and experiences. And your 3D modelling and rendering skills are top notch (Rhinoceros 3D and/or Solidworks, Keyshot or other photorealistic software) — we'll work with what you know, as long as you're sharp)—your portfolio should show off work that makes people go, "Wow, you made that?"Industrial Design Roots
: 0–5 years of pro experience in industrial design (any sector works Consumer goods, appliances, medical gear, tools—we care about your foundational skills, not where you used them).Bilingual Vibes Cultural Curiosity
: Decent English (spoken/reading) to keep up in our dual-language team. Remember, Design is an international job, as you need to be able to understand any market and user around the world. But don't worry, we'll always share key directions, sketches, and feedback in both English Chinese, as it is our responsibility to ensure no loss-in-translation and stress. Plus, you're open and curious about Western culture (our main market is the USA)—this helps us craft designs that fit how US consumers live and use products.The Right Mindset
: Curious: you should always ask "why" and never being afraid to ask silly questions. Creative: you turn "meh" into "magic". Dedicated: you care to do your best—we don't cut corners, and we expect you to do the same. Open minded: we search for the right solutions, the right designs, the right ideas, wherever they are; we search for the truth, not to be right and prove other wrong.A Portfolio That Speaks
: Show us your process, your 3D work, and your renderings—we want to see how you think, not just the final pretty pictures.
Why This Team -- Spoiler: It's Not Just the Office Snacks…
Leadership, Not Micromanaging
: You'll report to a global designer with 20 years of experience who will guide you, cheer you on, and help you grow.Fun Focused Culture
: We joke, we laugh, we celebrate small wins—but when it's time to deliver, we're all in and we are all team players (excellence matters, and we make it feel doable together).People First
: We believe in leading people and managing projects. People are not to be managed, but inspired, supported and guided. You're not a "task list"—you're a creative contributor, and we'll trust you to own your work (with support when you need it).A Space You'll Want to Be In
: Our office is thought out for designers—great hardware, all the right tools and an environment that nurture creativity (no ugly offices and cubicles here, never).Grow Your Skills Globally
: No rigid boxes—you'll jump into appliances and bathroom products, learn project management, and sharpen your understanding of US market needs (a big plus for your career)Pay That Fits You
: Salary matches your experience (0–5 years)—we value what you bring, and we'll make sure you're fairly compensated.
