What You’ll Do

As a Junior Industrial Designer in our regional UX team, you’ll contribute to the earliest stages of product development—helping turn user insights into tangible ideas.

Along the way, you'll gain exposure to broader innovation challenges—including trade ecosystems, digital touchpoints, and service opportunities beyond the core product.
Stay open to emerging tools (like AI in design or research)—we’re learning and experimenting together.
