Product Designer (Hardware) — Electronic Vaporizers

About Us

We’re building a new generation of safe, reliable, premium electronic vaporizers for the tobacco market. Our focus is on exceptional user experience, robust engineering, and from concept to high-volume manufacturing.

The Role

We’re looking for a hands-on product designer who can design an electronic vaporizer from scratch, with strong competency in electronics and hardware development. You’ll own the product development process end-to-end—working across industrial design, mechanical engineering, firmware, manufacturing, and compliance.

This is not a purely visual/UX role. We need someone who can bridge form + function + electronics and confidently drive real hardware to production.

What You’ll Do

• Lead end-to-end hardware product development for electronic vaporizers: concept → prototypes → EVT/DVT/PVT → mass production
• Translate user needs into product requirements (performance, safety, reliability, cost, manufacturability)
• Define and drive the electrical system architecture, including:
• Power systems (Li‑ion battery selection, charging, protection, power regulation)
• Heating control (temperature sensing/feedback, control strategy coordination with firmware)
• Embedded components (MCU selection support, sensors, LEDs/haptics, optional connectivity like BLE)
• Partner with PCB/layout engineers (or do it yourself, depending on your skillset) to create:
• Schematics, BOM, component selection, design reviews, bring-up support
• Collaborate on mechanical design constraints: thermal management, materials, ergonomics, assembly, tolerance stack-ups
• Build and iterate prototypes quickly (bench work), including:
• Soldering/rework, using test equipment (DMM, oscilloscope, power supplies, electronic loads)
• Debugging early-stage issues with cross-functional teams
• Drive design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA) and supplier readiness:
• Vendor selection, CM/ODM collaboration, tooling readiness, assembly line considerations
• Own and/or support validation and reliability planning:
• Thermal testing, cycle testing, drop testing, ingress considerations, safety analysis
• Ensure product design aligns with applicable consumer electronics safety and compliance expectations (region-dependent)

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years experience designing and shipping consumer electronics (battery-powered devices strongly preferred)
• Demonstrated ability to take products from scratch to production (not just concept)
• Strong understanding of electronics fundamentals:
• Power electronics basics, battery safety/protection concepts, charging, sensors, thermal constraints
• Comfort working hands-on with hardware prototypes and debugging
• Familiarity with manufacturing realities:
• Injection molding, CNC/metal parts, adhesives/fasteners, assembly processes, tolerance management
• Strong cross-functional communication—able to align design, engineering, quality, and manufacturing
• Portfolio or case studies showing shipped hardware and your specific contributions

Nice to Have

• Direct experience with vaporizers, heating devices, e-cigarettes, or other compact thermal consumer devices
• Experience designing for regulated categories and compliance processes (e.g., FCC/CE, RoHS/REACH, battery transport considerations)
• Experience with BLE-connected consumer devices and companion app collaboration
• Experience working with overseas manufacturing partners (China/Vietnam/Mexico/etc.)
• Familiarity with material selection considerations for components in the airflow/heat-adjacent areas (durability, cleanliness, long-term stability)

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• You’ve produced a clear product architecture and development plan (industrial design + electronics + mechanical)
• Early prototypes validate core experiences: heating performance, battery life, usability, safety
• You’ve aligned suppliers/manufacturing constraints with a realistic path to EVT/DVT
• Device examples find here: https://shorturl.at/58M2Z

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary/Rate: [₹20,00,000–₹24,00,000] depending on experience (plus bonus where applicable)
• Flexible time off, hardware budget, and travel for manufacturing builds (as needed)

How to Apply

• Resume or LinkedIn
• Portfolio (PDF or link) showing shipped products
• 2–3 bullets describing your role in at least one battery-powered consumer device launch
• (Optional) A short note on your comfort level working in the tobacco industry
