About Us

We create products that matter — for people, the planet, and real progress. We collaborate with startups and SMEs across industries to bring meaningful ideas to life through strategic industrial design, sustainable innovation, and a thoughtful, hands-on development process. We’re award-winning, growing fast, and looking for curious minds ready to shape what comes next.

We’re hiring an Industrial Designer who ne fait pas que “exécuter” — vous pensez, challengez, améliorez et apportez de l'énergie à chaque projet. Vous vous souciez de la façon dont les choses sont fabriquées, pourquoi elles existent et pour qui elles sont destinées. Vous apportez un solide esprit technique, un amour de l'exécution et de fortes compétences en design pour la fabrication (DFM). Vous travaillerez en étroite collaboration avec nos équipes de design, d'ingénierie et de stratégie pour donner vie aux concepts — de manière réfléchie, précise et prête pour la production.

What you'll do

• Bring critical thinking, precision, and practical creativity to every project
• Actively seek ways in which internal processes — particularly our Design for Manufacture approach — can be improved
• Identify opportunities to help grow the studio’s capabilities, tools, or workflows
• Contribute to the cultural and creative life of the studio (we want your ideas and your voice)

Design & Execution

• Lead product design projects from discovery through to DFM and production handoff
• Create and document robust design concepts grounded in user insights, feasibility, sustainability, and manufacturability
• Collaborate with strategists, designers, mechanical engineers, manufacturers, and other partners throughout the process
• Support client presentations, visuals, and storytelling to bring our work to life

Relationships & Responsibility

• Be a thoughtful teammate: respectful, collaborative, and proactive
• Communicate clearly and confidently with clients and suppliers — including during technical discussions
• Represent Punctuate’s values in your everyday work — excellence, empathy, and impact

What we're looking for

• At least 5 years experience in the industry, ideally within a design agency or design team
• Strong portfolio showing concept thinking and follow-through to real-world, manufactured products
• Proficiency in CAD (SolidWorks, Fusion 360 or equivalent), Adobe CC, Blender, and prototyping tools
• Solid understanding of DFM principles, production methods, materials, and tolerances
• Comfortable balancing creativity with technical feasibility
• Bilingual (French/English) is a strong asset
• Have worked on consumer electronics, sustainability-focused products, or on sustainable strategies
• Know a thing or two about materials (plastics, textiles, recycled content, etc.)
• Enjoy refining documentation, drawings, and files for seamless handoff to engineers or manufacturers
• Want to grow with us and help shape what Punctuate becomes

Benefits

• A chance to work on meaningful products that improve people’s lives
• A collaborative, ego-free studio that values people as much as projects
• Access to a multidisciplinary team (ID, strategy, engineering, prototyping)
• Creative freedom and real ownership of your work
• Flexible hybrid schedule in our Montreal studio
• Opportunity to grow your role as we grow the studio
