Industrial Designer Needed – Premium Beauty Accessory (Keychain Capsule Case)

Job Description:

We are building a premium beauty accessory brand and are looking for an experienced industrial designer (with mechanical understanding) to design a small cylindrical keychain case that will go into manufacturing.

This is not just a visual concept — we need a production-ready design that can be sampled and manufactured at scale.

⸻

About the Product:

The product is a compact cylindrical keychain case designed to store a rolled pair of lightweight fingerless gloves.

Design direction:

• Minimal, elevated, beauty-industry aesthetic (similar to Rhode, Aritzia, SKIMS)

• Clean silhouette with subtle taper

• Flush cap with hidden closure

• No visible threading externally

• Soft matte finish (or premium metal option)

⸻

Scope of Work:

We are looking for someone who can:

• Translate our concept + references into a refined, production-ready design

• Develop precise dimensions and proportions based on product requirements

• Design closure mechanism (twist / bayonet / snap – must feel premium)

• Ensure wall thickness, tolerances, and usability are correct

• Prepare files suitable for manufacturer use

⸻

Deliverables:

• 3D CAD files (STEP / IGES / SolidWorks or Fusion 360)

• 2–3 design variations (subtle differences in form/closure)

• Section views (wall thickness, closure mechanism)

• Rendered visuals for review (clean, minimal)

• Basic guidance for manufacturing (materials + finishes)

⸻

Materials We Are Considering:

• Rigid TPU (injection molded)

• Anodized aluminum

• PVD-coated metal

Experience working with consumer products and small accessories is important.

⸻

Ideal Candidate:

• Industrial designer with mechanical understanding

• Experience designing products for manufacturing (not just concept)

• Familiar with injection molding and/or metal fabrication

• Strong attention to detail and clean aesthetic

• Able to communicate clearly and iterate quickly
