Product Designer

K. Hovnanian Companies is seeking a creative, collaborative, and detail-oriented Product Designer to help shape the products, interiors, and design experiences that bring our homes and communities to life. This role supports ontrend interior concepts, new product designs, model homes, clubhouses, design standards, and visualization deliverables in partnership with Interior Design, Direct Supply, Architecture, Marketing, and other cross-functional teams.

The Product Designer will help bring future-focused interiors, product concepts, model homes, clubhouses, and design standards from idea to execution. The ideal candidate has a strong eye for design, a portfolio that demonstrates product thinking and technical capability, and the ability to translate creative concepts into practical, buildable solutions.

This is an opportunity for a curious, organized, and collaborative designer who enjoys working across teams. You will help connect design vision with supply chain execution, customer insights, internal data, and field needs—while contributing to work that directly influences the homebuyer experience.

You will support product design, interiors, sourcing, documentation, and implementation from concept through execution.

Key responsibilities include:

• Research residential design trends and product opportunities across lighting, finishes, cabinetry, plumbing, building materials, and other interior elements.
• Support future-focused product offerings, design standards, model homes, clubhouses, sales centers, and visualization deliverables.
• Evaluate domestic and international products and vendors, identify customization needs, and support prototype, specification, and documentation efforts.
• Create and coordinate technical drawings, specifications, finish schedules, and interior documentation using CAD/3D modeling and related design tools.
• Collaborate with Interior Design, Direct Supply, Architecture, Marketing, supply chain, and field teams to bring design concepts to life.
• Use data, timelines, cost considerations, and customer insights to balance aesthetics, quality, budget, and implementation needs.

You bring experience in product design, residential or commercial interiors, sourcing, supplier collaboration, and technical documentation. Experience with domestic and overseas suppliers, manufacturers, buying agents, inspection services, product testing, and consumer product goods—such as decorative lighting, plumbing, hardware, case goods, sheet goods, and flat-packed finished systems is preferred. Strong communication, organization, negotiation and time-management skills are essential.
