Industrial Designer (Furniture)

Jon Hamm

Jon Hamm waited tables in L.A. for nearly a decade. He was told he didn’t have the right look and was too old to start. He almost gave up. Then, he was cast as Don Draper in Mad Men. That role made him a legend 'overnight' — at 36.

Chances are that you haven't heard about NOOE. But that hasn't stopped us from making decisions like we belong amongst the best, globally.

Perhaps that's why we won the Red Dot Design Award 2022, while merely a 6-month old brand then. Maybe that's why we retail in 9 countries in the world, including at Harrod's in London.

Possibly also why we bagged the biggest deal of Shark Tank India, a few weeks ago.

Like Jon Hamm, we're delusional. We're chipping away slowly, working on our craft; building our brand. 

The world just hasn't discovered us yet.

About this role

This role is for someone who can take a furniture concept from sketch to sample — translating clean, contemporary design language into engineered, production-ready pieces.

You’ll work closely with the founder and vendors to develop lines that feel thoughtful and intentional, with a strong understanding of proportions, materials, and manufacturability. From line drawings to shop-floor samples, you’ll own the design development journey end-to-end.

This is ideal if you’ve spent a couple of years getting your hands dirty — understanding the difference between what looks good on screen and what actually works in wood, metal, and upholstery. We’re looking for someone who can think through a joint, troubleshoot during sampling, and push for both precision and poetry in form. If you're obsessive about clean lines, quietly confident, and like to build things that speak for themselves, we’d love to talk.

Culture

We don't have a ton of VC money to burn. We're not trying to be a unicorn. We don't have a fancy town hall every month or employee talent days where you mandatorily have to dance & pretend you're happy (f*&K that).

If you work with us, we will need you to dream big but work small every day. We'll need you to be patient for the audacious goals but impatient with action. You will join a winning team, not a family. And we don't care if you a tea or coffee person (ok maybe a little bit). 

Other than better compensation (which is obvious), you will be part of a design-driven mission to build an incredible global brand from India. As founders, we will patiently nurture your progress, lend you support so you can do your best work while still managing your personal life, keep away toxicity, and hear you with open ears when things are not going well.

How to apply

You don’t need a resume to apply. We need you to fill a 10-min application from the apply link on this listing. We read every application and there are only 3 stages to the process -

1. Fill up the online application

2. If shortlisted, we will arrange a short 20-min call to understand your values 

3. Final stage of doing a small task - so we both understand how you well you will fit into this role.
