Job Description

We're looking for a creative and technically-minded

Product Designer

to conceptualize, prototype, and develop new bottle-related products, accessories, and packaging systems that enhance the Owala experience across Asia.





You'll work at the intersection of

industrial design, materials engineering, and consumer experience

--from re-imagining how users carry, clean, and personalize their bottles, to designing new forms and mechanisms that extend into hydration, lifestyle, and wellness.

Key Responsibilities

#

1. Product & Accessory Design

Design new bottles, lids, and accessories (e.g., silicone boots, clips, holders, straw systems, cleaning tools, modular attachments). Create digital 3D models, sketches, and prototypes ready for manufacturing discussions. Explore new ergonomic, aesthetic, and functional possibilities within the Owala / Unbottled ecosystem. Develop color, material, and finish (CMF) directions aligned with brand identity.
#

2. Prototyping & Development

Collaborate with manufacturers and mold suppliers to validate feasibility, cost, and material choices (e.g., stainless steel, Tritan, food-grade silicone). Produce technical drawings and tolerance specs for mass production. Participate in iterative testing for durability, usability, and thermal performance.
#

3. Brand Integration & User Experience

Translate the design language into every product--minimalist, experiential, and emotionally resonant. Conduct user feedback sessions and usability testing to inform design iterations. Work closely with marketing and retail teams to ensure design coherence across packaging, retail displays, and digital experiences.
#

4. Sustainability & Innovation

Research emerging eco-materials and circular design practices (e.g., recycled steel, bioplastics). Propose new modular systems that allow product longevity, repair, or customization. Contribute ideas for new product categories beyond bottles (e.g., tumblers, lifestyle hydration tools). Experience designing for

retail or DTC brands

with strong visual storytelling. Interest in

fitness, wellness, or sustainable lifestyle products

. Hands-on approach--comfortable iterating prototypes, 3D printing, or testing materials. Familiar with

Asia-based manufacturing workflows

and supplier communication. * Strong eye for

color, finish, and tactile experience
