About Fiber Global

Fiber Global is a materials and manufacturing company focused on transforming recovered fiber into high-performance materials and useful products.

Monarch by Fiber Global is our consumer furniture sub-brand, bringing Fiber Global’s material innovation into thoughtfully designed furniture for everyday living.

We are looking for a hands‑on Furniture Development Designer to support the development and refinement of new furniture products for Monarch by Fiber Global.

About the Role

The Furniture Development Designer will support furniture and physical product development through strong 3D CAD execution, practical problem‑solving, and cross‑functional collaboration.

You will translate design concepts, sketches, dimensions, references, and product requirements into practical and well‑developed 3D CAD solutions. Depending on the project, you may also support prototyping, technical documentation, manufacturing review, and design revisions based on testing or production feedback.

This role works closely with design, engineering, manufacturing, production, and other cross‑functional teams to help move product ideas forward.

Assist with technical drawings, dimensions, part information, and other product-development documentation as needed.

Evaluate design solutions for practical considerations such as fit, assembly, stability, material usage, tolerances, and manufacturability.

Participate in prototype reviews and physical product evaluation when required.

Collaborate with manufacturing and production teams as needed to review prototypes, resolve design issues, and support product development.

Contribute to design‑for‑manufacturing improvements while maintaining the intended product design.

Maintain organized CAD files, design revisions, and supporting documentation.

Support additional product‑development and design initiatives based on evolving project and business needs.

Qualifications

Degree in Industrial Design, Furniture Design, Product Design, Mechanical Design, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Strong proficiency in professional 3D CAD software such as Solid Works, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, Creo, or comparable tools .

Strong 3D modeling skills and ability to translate design intent into practical CAD solutions.

Understanding of physical product construction and manufacturing.

Working knowledge of dimensions, tolerances, fit, assembly, and basic mechanical relationships.
