Industrial Product Designer Engineer

About Mag Mod

At Mag Mod, we don’t just make photography accessories—we strive to make photography fast, easy, and awesome through innovative products that speak for themselves.

Founded in 2013 and fueled by a passionate global photography community, Mag Mod has grown into a premium brand trusted by tens of thousands of photographers in 100+ countries. Our products work seamlessly, are minimalist in form and function, and pack a serious punch of utility and elegance—because making cool stuff that solves real problems is fun as hell and the only way we know how to roll.

Striving for excellence is part of our DNA—both in our products, in our company culture, and in how we solve problems at every level.

We are now entering a new chapter of growth, with a recently launched modular light stand system (Mag Stand) and an ambitious product roadmap ahead. We need a skilled, driven designer and engineer to help us execute it.

Mag Mod is looking for a hands-on Industrial Product Designer & Engineer to work directly alongside our Founder as a core member of our product development team. This is not a management or strategy role—it is a craft role for someone who loves the work itself: designing, building, testing, iterating, and delivering.

You will be given a Product Requirements Document (PRD) with a clear product vision. Your job is to bring it to life—from ideation and CAD through prototyping, refinement, and a complete manufacturing-ready package. You will be the primary executor of design and engineering for every product we build.

If you are energized by moving fast, obsess over the details that make a product go from good to great, and want to see your work in the hands of photographers around the world—this role was built for you.

• The full design and engineering lifecycle for every current and future Mag Mod product—from concept through golden sample.

• All CAD work: concept models, MVPs, design candidates, and production-ready assemblies.

• Prototype builds, physical testing, and structured evaluation against PRD requirements.

• Complete manufacturing packages delivered to our factory partners.

• Design asset management, version control, and change documentation across the product pipeline.

• Receive product briefs and PRDs from the Founder/Product Manager and become an active ideation partner on how to solve defined requirements

• Propose and explore multiple design directions with a priority on innovation, simplicity, ease of use, and manufacturing pragmatism

• Identify MVP solutions that validate the core concept quickly and efficiently, achieving ~80% of requirements before full refinement

• Create all CAD models from concept sketch through production-ready assemblies using Fusion 360 or Solid Works and maintain clean, organized, parametric models that are structured for efficient iteration and handoff

• Design for manufacturability (DFM) in injection-molded plastics, die-cast metals, and other common consumer goods manufacturing processes

• Produce complete 2D engineering drawings with GD&T callouts, tolerances, and material specifications suitable for factory production

• Create prototypes at every stage of development using 3D printing, CNC machining, and other appropriate methods—either in-house or from external partners

• Test all prototypes against PRD requirements for form, fit, function, durability, and ease of use

• Drive iteration cycles efficiently, with a bias toward speed and pragmatic problem-solving

• Maintain a disciplined design changelog that provides full traceability from concept through golden sample

• Document all design decisions, test results, and PRD compliance at each stage of the development pipeline

• Manage design files with rigorous naming conventions and version control so every asset is organized, findable, and clearly staged

• Prepare manufacturing asset packages for factory handoff, including CAD files, 2D drawings, tolerances, material callouts, surface finish specs, and QC documentation

• Work closely and daily with…
