‍At Punctuate Design, we create products that matter — for people, the planet, and real progress. We collaborate with startups and SMEs across industries to bring meaningful ideas to life through strategic industrial design, sustainable innovation, and a thoughtful, hands-on development process. We’re award-winning, growing fast, and looking for curious minds ready to shape what comes next.

We’re hiring an Industrial Designer who doesn’t just “execute” — you think, challenge, improve, and bring energy into every project. You care about how things are made, why they exist, and who they’re for. You bring a solid technical mindset, a love for execution, and strong skills in design for manufacture (DFM). You’ll work closely with our design, engineering, and strategy teams to bring concepts to life — thoughtfully, precisely, and ready for production.

What you'll do

Studio contribution

- Bring critical thinking, precision, and practical creativity to every project
- Actively seek ways in which internal processes — particularly our Design for Manufacture approach — can be improved
- Identify opportunities to help grow the studio’s capabilities, tools, or workflows
- Contribute to the cultural and creative life of the studio (we want your ideas and your voice)

Design & Execution

- Lead product design projects from discovery through to DFM and production handoff
- Create and document robust design concepts grounded in user insights, feasibility, sustainability, and manufacturability
- Collaborate with strategist, designers, mechanical engineers, manufacturers, and other partners throughout the process
- Support client presentations, visuals, and storytelling to bring our work to life

Relationships & Responsibility

- Be a thoughtful teammate: respectful, collaborative, and proactive
- Communicate clearly and confidently with clients and suppliers — including during technical discussions
- Represent Punctuate’s values in your everyday work — excellence, empathy, and impact

What we're looking for

- At least 6 years experience in the industry, ideally within a design agency or design team
- Strong portfolio showing concept thinking and follow-through to real-world, manufactured products
- Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or equivalent), Adobe CC, Blender, and prototyping tools
- Solid understanding of DFM principles, production methods, materials, and tolerances
- Comfortable balancing creativity with technical feasibility
- Bilingual (French/English) is a strong asset

Bonus points if you :

- Have worked on consumer electronics, sustainability-focused products, or on sustainable strategies
- Know a thing or two about materials (plastics, textiles, recycled content, etc.)
- Enjoy refining documentation, drawings, and files for seamless handoff to engineers or manufacturers
- Want to grow with us and help shape what Punctuate becomes

Why join Punctuate

- A chance to work on meaningful products that improve people’s lives
- A collaborative, ego-free studio that values people as much as projects
- Access to a multidisciplinary team (ID, strategy, engineering, prototyping)
- Creative freedom and real ownership of your work
- Flexible hybrid schedule in our Montreal studio
- Opportunity to grow your role as we grow the studio
