Industrial Designer

Bring your life

At Thule, we’re passionate about designing smart, functional, and sustainable products that support an active lifestyle. We believe great design starts with understanding people and the way they live, move, and experience the outdoors.

We’re now looking for an experienced Industrial Designer to join our Design team in Hillerstorp.

If you’re a hands-on designer who thrives on turning ideas into real products, taking ownership from early exploration through development, prototyping, validation, and implementation, this is an opportunity to help shape the next generation of Thule products across categories. 

What you’ll do at Thule

As an Industrial Designer, you’ll be part of our Designovation team, working across pre-development and product development projects. You’ll take an active role throughout the design process, from understanding user needs and exploring opportunities to developing, testing, and implementing final solutions.

You’ll use a hands-on, user-centered approach to turn insights and product requirements into compelling designs. Through sketching, visualization, mood boards, mock-ups, prototypes, and 3D CAD, you’ll explore ideas, communicate design intent, and continuously iterate to create purposeful solutions.

You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, project leaders, engineers, CMF specialists, and other designers to balance user needs, functionality, aesthetics, manufacturability, quality, and sustainability. You’ll also contribute to and safeguard the Thule Product Identity, ensuring that products reflect our brand while allowing for innovation and differentiation.

You’ll contribute to developing our design methods and ways of working, while staying curious about users, trends, materials, technologies, and new opportunities. You’ll challenge ideas, inspire others, and help create products that enable an active life outdoors.

What you bring

To be successful in this role, we believe you have a degree in Industrial design, Product design, or a related field, combined with solid experience in industrial design and product development.

You have a strong understanding of design principles and a developed aesthetic sense, with excellent creative problem-solving, sketching, visualization, and prototyping skills. You are hands-on and enjoy taking ideas from early concepts through detailed design and implementation.

You have a good understanding of relevant manufacturing processes and experience with 3D CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Alias, or Rhino, as well as common design tools such as Illustrator and Photoshop. You are also comfortable presenting and communicating design intent and building strong arguments for your ideas.

You are creative, collaborative, and inspiring to others, with the ability to work within deadlines and budgets while creating designs that support and strengthen the Thule brand.

Why you should join Thule

At Thule, we believe in strong teamwork both within your own team and also cross functional between teams. We strive to be an open and curious organization, sharing our knowledge and inspiring one another. 

Within Thule you will find people who have a passion for the products we make and the outdoor company we are. We share the same values, and we like to have fun. All of our employees have a joint responsibility to maintain that spirit and contribute to it.
