Innovac is looking for a product designer / CAD designer to join its team in Berlin, Germany.

We are looking for a creative and technically skilled product designer / CAD designer to help turn this new material platform into practical prototype products such as simple furniture, storage boxes, shelving units, cabinets, room dividers and modular connection systems.

This role sits between product design, CAD, prototyping and practical product development.

The right person should be able to move from concept to CAD to real-world prototypes, while thinking creatively and technically at the same time.

Responsibilities:

develop product concepts using lightweight panel materials and modular profiles
create CAD models, drawings and technical details for furniture, boxes and panel assemblies
design connection solutions, edge caps, inserts, profiles and simple hardware interfaces
prepare manufacturing drawings and files for CNC cutting, routing, welding, bending, assembly and prototyping
work closely with engineering, workshop and production partners to adapt designs to real fabrication limits
support the development of modular product families based on standard board sizes, profiles and connection principles
create visual renderings and presentation material for customers, partners and investors
improve prototypes based on practical testing, assembly experience and feedback

Required skills:

strong CAD experience, preferably with SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Rhino, Inventor, AutoCAD or similar
good understanding of product design, furniture design, industrial design or technical product development
ability to design practical parts with tolerances, joints, fasteners and assembly details
experience with sheet materials, panels, plastics, furniture, exhibition systems, modular structures or lightweight product systems
ability to move from concept sketches to production-ready CAD drawings
creative but practical mindset
interest in sustainable materials, circular product design and real-world prototyping

Nice to have:

experience with CNC routing, plastic welding, thermoforming, extrusion profiles or sheet fabrication
knowledge of furniture hardware, connectors, hinges, edge finishing or modular systems
experience with sustainable materials, recycled materials or lightweight structures
rendering skills for product presentations

Goal of the role:

The goal is to turn a new lightweight panel material into real prototype products that demonstrate its potential in furniture, boxes, modular interiors and structural lightweight applications.

This is not a purely conceptual design role and not a purely desk-based CAD role. We are looking for someone who can design with creativity, technical understanding and a strong sense for practical execution.
